Whoops. I too work for the government. And I’m proud of what they have accomplished in the university until now. Would I go to Ariel? Yes. Not if the government told me my job depended on it.

So we have one of our chief rabbis calling for the death of Mohammed Abbas and a few of our best theater people announcing their refusal to perform in Ariel. Well at least some people are taking a stand on something.

To get serious for a minute, Rabbi Ovadiah Yossef has been saying things for years that show a total lack of connection with the real world. The theater people don’t seem to be more in touch either. They are supported by the government so it would not be surprising that the government withdraw funds. Not terribly idealistic, but reasonable.
