sorry, crossposted- 03:00PM was to CarolC

Jack, he is quoting an UN report saying that the problem is not Israel. I do not think he "uses his nationality both as a source of credibility on the region ", but rather to identify himself.

"Professor HAIM HARARI, a theoretical physicist, is the Chair, Davidson
Institute of Science Education, and Former President, from 1988 to
2001, of the Weizmann Institute of Science.

During his years as President of the Institute, it entered numerous
new scientific fields and projects, built 47 new buildings, raised one
Billion Dollars in philanthropic money, hired more than half of its
current tenured Professors and became one of the highest
royalty-earning academic organizations in the world.

Throughout all his adult life, he has made major contributions to
three different fields: Particle Physics Research on the international
scene, Science Education in the Israeli school system and Science
Administration and Policy Making."


Seems like a standard academic listing to me...
