Hebrew University causes anger by dropping national anthem

The Hebrew University in Israel, which is publicly funded, has stirred an outrage by dropping the national anthem to appease anti-Israeli Arabs:
An Israeli university's decision not to play the national anthem at a graduation ceremony has sparked outrage among senior government ministers.

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem said the anthem won't be played at the Humanities Faculty event Thursday "out of consideration" for Arab participants.

Many members of Israel's Arab minority report feeling excluded by "Hatikva" ("The Hope") because of its emphasis on Jews' historic aspirations for statehood.

Hebrew University is a public institution that receives government funding. A similar move last year drew protest from faculty member and students.
So they're siding with scumbags who despise the formation of the modern state of Israel? In that case, public funding should by all means be suspended, or better yet, revoked altogether. They do not need to subsist on the taxpayers' shekels.
