Hebrew University In-Your-Face

This sign is at one of the main squares just across the the Hebrew University's main entrance up on Mount Scopus and it must bother many there terribly:


for it reads:
"Between 1948-1967, Mount Scopus was besieged and cutoff from Jerusalem. The soldiers of Unit 247 - "Matzof" (floater) - were present here as the guardins of the site. Their perseverance and fortitude made the hill a garrison and a lookout. In the Six Days War it renewed its
days as of old, as a center of science and medicine, an inseparble part of Jerusalem, the capital of Israel".

Is there anyone on the left who thinks we shouldn't keep Mt Scopus?

I really don;t know but, for sure, I have not heard anyway specifically say Israel should retain it? And if Uri Avnery is left, then yes, he believes that.
