Israel has 4 of the top 110 ranked universities in the world.

The highest ranked university in the Arab world is at 420.

Just a little food for thought.

World Ranking of Universities

How about Nobel prizes awarded to Israelis: 9

Nobel prizes, excluding Peace Prize, awarded to Arabs: 2

Not surprising to me. The Arab world in general is a schithole.

Oh so now Universities are a good thing? Oh the hypocrisy.

My initial guess was Cairo University, but I see that it's 4th.

King Saud University is the highest ranked.

Of the Top 10 "Arab world" universities, 4 are in Saudi Arabia, 4 in Egypt, 1 in Lebanon (American University of Beirut) and 1 in UAE.

Why do conservatives fear higher education?

They don't fear it. They just think anything outside of engineering and business is worthless.

Another interesting fact. Arabs within Israel are one of the country's best educated groups.

The Israelis run schools for the Arabs in Israel, which is more than can be said for many Arab countries.

But your post is deficient. It should read: Christian Arabs are one of the most educated groups in Israel

Why are school teachers some of the dumbest people in our society?

Also, where did you get the idea that professors and school teachers are the same?

Business and engineering? Oh yeah, they only care about money. Got it.

basic business degrees are pretty much useless these days. They have higher than average unemployment rates and you really don't learn much of value. You're just about as prepared for the workplace as someone with a liberal arts degree.
