Ronit Tirosh, Director of the Education Ministry, has decided to dismiss quiz-master Dan Chamitzer from his involvement in a special Education Ministry program. The reason: Chamitzer turned down a request by high school students to help them with a paper, explaining that he refuses to help residents of Yesha. Chamitzer had been involved in a student competition designed to enhance knowledge of the Land of Israel. He told the monthly Yesha magazine Nekudah that he sees the settlements as that which will "bring about the destruction of Zionism." An Education Ministry spokesman said that the Ministry cannot accept discrimination against an entire student population.
