Hebrew University causes anger by dropping national anthem
An Israeli university's decision not to play the national anthem at a graduation ceremony has sparked outrage among senior government ministers.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.
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.
