This is a statement on an Israeli university's website “equality of opportunities has brought to us a large number of members of minority groups—thereby demonstrating that despite the disagreements and the mental, cultural and ideological differences, the academic world can serve as a basis for dialogue and rapprochement.”** Mental differences? You mean like in Apartheid South Africa where they had mental characteristics for Black people, with excact measurements of their skull, teeth, and forehead? This is like a text from colonial anthropology. And by minorities, they mean the natives. And by disagreements they mean the right and freedom to kill, to bomb, to displace, to confiscate, to steal, to demolish. And there are some people that disagree with academic boycott of Israel!
** i can't find the website, but, you can check it quoted in Eilat Weizman's article "University/Army Base" in Ma'arev p. B2
