Mittweida University of Applied Sciences is deeply shocked by the terrorist attacks against Israel carried out by Hamas. Thousands of rockets have been fired at Israel – hundreds of people have died. Armed Islamic ground-based terrorists are carrying out brutal attacks against people in southern Israel, killing, amongst others, hundreds of young people at a music festival.
Our thoughts are with the victims and the families mourning those who have been killed, abducted or are missing. We stand in solidarity with our friends and academic partners in Israel.
Our connection with the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel’s oldest university, goes beyond the term ‘Technikum’ from our founding days. Professor Uri Sivan, President of the Technion, writes: “It is our sincere hope and fervent prayer that the threat to the citizens of Israel will be swiftly and decisively removed. Until then, we should be united in our compassion, our resolve and our optimism.”
We echo these sentiments and reaffirm once again: hostility towards Israel, hatred of Jews and anti-Semitism have no place at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences.
Prof. Dr Volker Tolkmitt, Rector of Mittweida University of Applied Sciences
