A recent scandal at ELTE may have significant consequences for thousands of international students in Hungary.
A lecture by Alexander Yakobson, a historian from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, was disrupted on 16 October, prompting two ministers and the university rector to demand accountability.
The historian’s lecture series was titled “Diverzitás és demokrácia az izraeli társadalomban”
The issue began when some students attending the first session appeared wearing keffiyehs and shouted that the lecture was political propaganda supporting Israeli genocide, forcing the lecture to be halted.
