Michael Cherney Foundation to Aid Israel Academia Monitor In Expelling Omar Barghouti
By Israel News Agency Staff Tel Aviv, Israel ---- May 30, 2009 ...... The Michael Cherney (Mikhail Chernoy) Foundation has announced that it will assist the NGO Israel Academia Monitor which creates potent input into conveying the truth about the anti-Israel propaganda being waged on the Jewish state from the inside. Here is a fresh example. Omar Barghouti is no ordinary student. A Palestinian with Israel citizenship he is the founder of a Palestinian organization that is calling for the academic and cultural boycott of Israel. Omar Barghouti received his Masters Degree in the United States on a non-thesis route and absurdly was accepted for complementary to Master's degree program by Tel Aviv University - the very same institution that he is calling on the world to shun. His intention is to continue to PhD in that very same university all the while “working” tirelessly to discredit and boycott it. The Israel Academia Monitor started an opposition campaign to his participation in the academia a few months ago. The first step was to publish a petition on the Internet calling on Tel Aviv University to expel him. Within just a week, ten thousand people signed the petition, which forced the Israel media to take notice. Zvi Galil, the President of Tel Aviv University had to publish a letter explaining the reasons for not taking steps against Barghouti, one of them being that the University should teach students regardless of their political views. However, the Rector, Danny Leviathan invited IAM team to present to him the petition which by now has reached over 75,000 signatures calling for removal of Omar Barghouti from campus. Following the wide publicity of this story, a group from the Tel Aviv Board of Governors is now working to change the Tel Aviv University's Constitution so that neither student nor member of staff will have the opportunity to act against the University. Following his repatriation to Israel, Michael Cherney (Mikhail Chernoy) maintains business interests in Russia and post-Soviet states, while developing new business contacts between Russia, Europe, Israel, and the US. In Israel, Michael Cherney spends much effort on charity and humanitarian projects that reinforce cooperation between Israel and Russia in fighting Islamic terrorism. Michael Cherney established a Website for his Foundation on June 1, 2001, the night of the terrorist bombing outside the Dolphinarium Disco in Tel Aviv. When Michael Cherney learned the number of victims - 21 dead and over 150 wounded - he realized that rendering assistance required a systematic organized effort. Prior to 2001, Cherney was engaged in charity work in Russia, Ukraine, Central Asia, Bulgaria, the US - wherever he did business. He made valuable contributions into Jewish philanthropy in Russia. Following the Dolphinarium terrorist tragedy, the Cherney Fund became the helping hand for all its victims. In a misfortune like this, emigres from the former Soviet countries are even worse off than those born in Israel: they don't have a support system or savings. The Cherney Fund, therefore, renders help mostly to the new arrivals, victims of catastrophes and terrorist acts that continue to bleed Israel, as well as to the low-income victims of terror in other countries. Another equally important task assumed by the Cherney Foundation is the media effort in war on terror. Shortly after the Dolphinarium attack, the Foundation published a book called Dolphinarium: Terror Targets the Young. The Michael Cherney Foundation has established grants for students from the former Soviet Union in all major Israel universities with an annual endowment of 1 million shekels.
