ישראלים בסדר עם רצח העם בעזה , ויחד עם זאת נורא חשוב להם זכויות הלהט"בים שם. Israelis are ok with executing a genocide in Gaza, yet LGBTQ rights in Gaza are reallly important to them!.

6/n my point is, despite of these positive and welcomed humanitarian statements, in order to refute these are not genuine and only induced after 600 days because of boycott threats, Israeli academia must declare its positions officially and with clarity.

5/n response i got: "It is very difficult to issue a political letter on behalf of the entire body, on any issue, and certainly on this issue and in these times. So I understand the desire of the executive committee to avoid a rupture and dissolution of the institution."

1/n Thanks for this. Why is this statement made by the Israeli Academy President ONLY & NOT by the Israeli Academy? This is ofcourse he isn't able to get a majority vote for such a statement by Israeli Academy members or governing committee! This must have been declared.
“We cannot remain silent.”. In an urgent statement, Prof. David Harel, President of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, warns that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is spiraling into a public health catastrophe with long-term regional and global consequences. He calls

Really special person and a great scientist. RIP.
We mourn the loss of our beloved department member, Prof. Zelig Eshhar — a visionary immunologist and pioneer of CAR-T cell therapy. His groundbreaking work revolutionized cancer treatment and gave hope to countless patients.

Sad days for me & colleagues @WeizmannScience & many civilians in our region. Yet, i am also stoked to be the 2025 recipient of the Nakasone Award by the Human Frontiers - HFSP. I would have never imagined in my wildest dreams to be on such a list. Tnx!.

The pain of scientists is on both sides and i am glad this article that i interviewed for tries to bring that perspective. Escalating Israel–Iran conflict damages science labs and scientists on both sides. #Peace_Now and #Peace_everywhere.
