One response
Luckily there is a science minister in Israel who receives a huge salary.
About his first decision that I don't oppose.
Most of the time he is busy introducing politicization into the academy.
Like disqualifying a world-renowned scientist for a job. Because of her political views, (I personally have nothing in common with her views and I probably don't agree with her politically on anything. But that's really irrelevant)
