Comments on: Institutionalizing occupation: the ‘University’ of Ariel http://972mag.com/institutionalizing-the-occupation-the-university-of-ariel/51938/ Independent commentary and news from Israel & Palestine Tue, 21 May 2013 05:32:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Kolumn9 http://972mag.com/institutionalizing-the-occupation-the-university-of-ariel/51938/comment-page-1/#comment-70164 Kolumn9 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 09:31:02 +0000 http://972mag.com/?p=51938#comment-70164 The only thing being institutionalized is the fact that Ariel is going to remain a part of Israel in any future arrangement. Israeli society has long ago accepted this. Get over it. The only thing being institutionalized is the fact that Ariel is going to remain a part of Israel in any future arrangement.

Presumably you consider Al Quds to be a "university" because the degrees it confers are not recognised by Israel? Or don't you go in for those "word games"? I see, @xyz.

(2) Frankenthaler's word games like putting the word "university" in quotation marks is just like the games Arabs play by not showing Israel on a map or countries not recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Who cares? Playing with words does not change reality.

A considerable number of people inside Israel that accept university status for Israeli universities are shocked by the acceptance of the Ariel institution. As you know, @xyz.

Hence to some it is not a proper university.

Frankenthaler- Tell me, do you put quotes around the names "Hebrew University" and "Tel Aviv University" because the Givat Ram campus of HU is sitting on land occpupied in 1948 that belonged to the Arab village of Sheikh Badr and TAU is sitting on land occupied in 1948 that belonged to the Arab village of Sheikh Munis? Aren't they insitutionalizing the occupation as well? L. Frankenthaler-

How is it not a university? The fact that the writer doesn't like where it is sitting does not detract from its being a university. It has students, it grants degrees, it has research being conducted there and its degrees are recognized in the rest of the world. Sounds like a university to me, unless the writer is trying to use Orwellian newspeak in which he arbitrarily changes the meaning of words to fit some sort of political agenda.
