Israeli radicals call for prohibiting military officers from addressing
high school students.
A group of professors and other faculty members, mainly from the
University of Haifa, and some communist party members, have published a
petition (available in full in Hebrew at
http://list.haifa.ac.il/pipermail/alef/attachments/20041213/eebefb1f/attachment-0001.dot
) calling for a prohibition on allowing military officers to speak with
Israeli high school students. Because high school students usually enter
the army right after graduation, it is common for the army to open contact
and dialogue with prospective soldiers while they are still in school, to
help them find appropriate jobs and career directions while they are in
service. The signatories denounce this as militarization of the high
schools. The signatories demand that students be taught to pursue peace
and ethics, and see speaking with military officers as contradicting the
pursuit of peace. Some of the signatories are on record as favoring
mutiny and insubordination by Israeli soldiers, and have called on them to
refuse to do military service until the country adopts the policies
advocated by Israels Far Left.
Among the signatories are
Prof. Jacob Katriel, Chemistry, Technion,
His wife, Prof. Tamar Katriel, School of Education, University of Haifa
