Hebrew University senior chemistry professor Amiram Goldblum was the subject of a police complaint this week when he called on "Palestinians" to "establish armed militias to protect their villages and towns from the terrorisettlers."

Facebook removed the post within hours for violating its guidelines, but Goldblum doubled-down on his statement in an interview with Israel's Channel 12.

"Settlers are terrorists by definition," he said. "The settlements are all terror settlements. 'Terrorisettlers' is a term everyone uses today."

Goldblum continued: "I'm not talking about the haredis who live in Beitar Illit and Modiin Illit, rather about the masses, mainly the [one's who wear] knitted kippas, who are in the heart of the Palestinian state and who regularly support all of their people's terrorist activity."

Miri Srebnogur and Nisi Mizrahi, coordinators of the Zionist watchdog Im Tirtzu's Hebrew University branch who discovered and reported the post, filed a police complaint.

"When a professor incites violence like this, it can harm not only the residents of Judea and Samaria, but the students on campus as well," they said.

"There is no room in Israeli academia for professors who call to establish armed militias to act against Israeli civilians. The heads of Hebrew University must act quickly before his words turn into action."
