The opening as it read in 2010
Dan Meyerstein is the president of Ariel University Center of Samaria . Meyerstein opened the third annual David Bar-Illan Conference on the Media. Concerning the demographics of Israel , Prof. Meyerstein has stated that the birthrate in the Judea and Samaria District is "crazily higher than the rest of Israel." On the various academic boycotts of Israel, Prof. Meyerstein stated in the Jerusalem Post that, ""I feel that many of the people involved in this boycott have little knowledge of the system here and those that do have knowledge also have the desire to abolish the state of Israel. I have always felt boycotts were a bit like burning books. This happened in Europe 70 years ago and it is part of the reason I live in Israel."
