Eye on the Enemy: Netanyahu’s office: Condemn Syria, Not ’’Israel’’, ’’Tel Aviv’’ University Spies on Students
Former Supreme Court judge Eliyahu Matza called on "Israeli" women to begin a campaign of civil disobedience against increasing attempts to exclude them from the Jewish Society in "Israel".
Judge Matza said, "Social justice is not only about the price of cottage cheese or interest rates on a mortgage. There are values that must be fought for, and women's exclusion is out of the question."

"Tel Aviv" University Spying on Students
Haaretz
Tel Aviv University has called on lecturers to turn in students who carried out protest activities on campus. The TAU security head wrote in a letter to the lecturers, "I will be grateful for your handing over the students' details as soon as possible, including full name, ID number and telephone number."
This letter was sent to lecturers in the history, philosophy and literature departments, with an attached YouTube clip showing students urging their friends on campus to join the social protest they were planning at the university.
TAU security head asked the lecturers to attach to each student's name the identification marks from the clip so that he can identify them in action.
The security department head of the university threatened the students that if any public activity takes place in the future without proper authorization, harsh disciplinary steps will be taken against the organizers and participants.
One student said the security department told her it was following the group's activity on its Facebook page.

Matza also attacked what he perceived as an increasing phenomenon of "anti-democratic and discriminating legislation" in the Knesset. "A significant proportion of our parliament thinks that there is no equality... In their view, there are citizens of class A and class B and we must legislate laws for each of them specifically."
The phenomenon, he said, indicates a steep decline in the political system and should be fought. "It's a short road from here to tyranny."
Barak opposes Foreign Ministry's Europe slam
"Israeli" Radio
Defense Minister Ehud Barak responded to a Foreign Ministry statement that harshly criticized a recent European condemnation of "Israeli" settlement policy and for the attacks by settlers on Palestinians.
In an interview with our Radio, Barak said that "considering "Israel's" standing in the international community we have to be smart - not just right." Barak stressed that he believed that "the Europeans are wrong and we are right, but "Israel" must exercise diplomacy in informing friendly European leaders of their mistakes, but avoid entering into direct confrontations."
"Israel", he added, needs to maintain good relations with France, Britain, and Germany. "In issues that are important to "Israel" (such as) fighting the attempts to push us to the International Criminal Court, we turn to Sarkozy and Cameron, so I don't think we should turn them into tensed, insulted and bitter opponents," Barak said. "They have stood with us in many struggles and important strategic situation, especially Iran and the sanctions against it," he said.
He added that "Germany, France and Britain are not Tanzania, Mauritania or Tripolitania. These are very important countries in the world and we have no interest in increasing the tensions with them." As for the potential damage in the Foreign Ministry's statement, Barak said that "there's no need to get carried away."
