Weizmann’s Former President Trades Silence on the Corruption at Rehovot’s Institute
New President to Be a Puppet in Hands of Corrupted Administration?
A month ago Haaretz.com reported about an ongoing science corruption drama at the campus of the major Israel academic center, Rehovot’s Institute named Weizmann after the first President of the state of Israel (My Rehovot, 31 December 2006).
While Haaretz. and Weizmann officials say “at the heart of the episode are charges of inappropriate behavior on the part of the departing president, [Professor Ilan Chet, because of] private work he did, ostensibly without authorization”, the apparent true nature of the conflict is the corruption by the Weizmann administration mafia, and their need to have a President-puppet, not an independent and open-minded scientist, the qualities Prof. Chet attested for.
The conflict spread the world, as on the other side of Atlantic, the executive vice president of the Weizmann’s American Committee, Martin Kraar, actively participated in the campaign designed to fight the Institutes’ ninth President.
Rehovot-based academic center is a well known plot of corruption by Israel science. Many instances of ethically deficient and criminal affairs by the Weizmann Institute bureaucracy (including major racketeer presently acting Academic Head Boaz Avron; former Vice-President Yoram Groner, a professor of the Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology; and former Finance Division head Michael Netzer) were reported previously (www.MyRehovot.info/ru 25 May 2006, 4 June 2005)
In the latest sad example the corrupted machinery of the Weizmann empire selected its’ victim to be top Institute employee, President Ilan Chet. A Professor of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Dr.Chet is a world removed plant scientist. At a time of joining the Weizmann, he was an outsider, not linked to the corruption by the Institute administration and dirty “academic” affairs taking place at its’ Rehovot’s municipal-tax-free grounds.
It seems that as an outsider, not linked to the institutional godfathers, apparently frustrated by witnessing the corruption during his five-year term of presidentship, he had a moral obligation to publicly uncover it.
In accord with this, Haaretz “did receive a letter, which present[ed Chet] complaints. The letter is written in a bombastic style, which is not typical of the former president, say some Weizmann Institute sources. It contain[ed] phrases such as "witch hunt," "McCarthyism," "incorrect facts," "duplicitous employees," "frightened and pressured workers," "a bunch of hypocrites who watch the show and cluck their tongues," "foul odors reeking from the garbage pile of lies in this libel."
MyRehovot has little doubt that Chet characteristics of the employee relationships at the Weizmann Institute are sincere and come from the bottom of the Presidents’ heart. My Rehovot past publications (25 May 2005, 4 June 2005, 4 September 2006) support strong words characterising the true atmosphere of the Weizmann Institute corruption.
Ilan Chet letter full text, however, was not published by Haaretz or any other publisher. Therefore, at the beginning of January 2007 we contacted Professor Chet, and requested a copy of his anti-coercing masterpiece, so, it could be publicly presented at MyRehovot e-pages. Dr. Chet appreciated our attention, sharing his vision on the true state of affairs at the Weizmann Institute, but refused to provide the letter. The reason is an agreement he reached with the Weizmann Institute in exchange of an undisclosed “good compensation package”.
Israel scholarship thus missed an excellent opportunity to make the flagship institution of Israel science corruption free. It is understandable, though, that Dr. Chet is an ordinary human being, who values monetary compensation of greater importance then true Jewish science development, and combating those who poison it. Only God knows when next such opportunity will visit the Weizmann Institute grounds.
