Stop
the Boycott
We condemn
the recent decision of the University and Colleges Union (UCU)
Congress to promote a boycott of Israeli universities as the
action of a small and unrepresentative minority that flies
in the face of academic freedom. We therefore call on Sally
Hunt, General Secretary UCU, to honour her pledge to ballot
all of the UCU's 120,000 members so that the true voice of
British academia can be heard.
Political
Antisemitism
Irwin
Cotler, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada,
wrote:
"Traditional
anti-Semitism was the denial of the right of individual
Jews to live as equal members in a society. The new anti-Jewishness
is the denial of the right of Jewish people to live as
equal members in the family of nations. . . . All that has
happened is that we've moved from discrimination against the
Jews as individuals to the discrimination against the Jews
as a people. "
Blame it on Balfour
By DAVE RICH
The main engine of the British boycott campaign is the Socialist
Workers Party, which has a disproportionate number of anti-Zionist
Jews among its upper ranks.
Israeli
boycotts show Britain's academic elite has taken leave of
its senses
Melanie Phillips, Daily Mail
Anyone not
yet convinced that Britain has somehow turned against its own
most fundamental values, not to say departed altogether from
reality, should look at the decision by the University and College
Union (UCU) to urge a boycott of academic institutions in Israel.
This deplorable
move destroys the most sacred role of a university - to act as
the guardian of free speech and inquiry in order that knowledge,
opinion and truth can flourish and grow.
 SHEER
ANTI-SEMITISM
MK Michael
Melchior: 'Anti-Israeli Resolution Of British Academics Is Sheer
Anti-Semitism'
'Their Boycott Of Israeli Academics Is In Fact A Denial Of Jewish
Right To Homeland In Middle East'
Here
we go again

But let me repeat what I said last time round, when I predicted
this thing would not go away because it had been defeated on the
wrong grounds."

[ Editor's
note: Let me try to understand the NATFHE decision to advise
boycotting Israeli academics on grounds of conscience. Palestinian
terrorists murder university students at an Israeli university(see
below) and four years later NATFHE want to boycott Israeli academics.
A Homer Simpson moment if ever there was one. I would call it "Stinkin'
thinkin' ! A disease that afflicts many bigoted anti-Israel activists.
They hate Israel and Jews more than they care for the humanity of
Palestinians.]
Terrorist
bombing at Hebrew University cafeteria July 31, 2002
 Nine
people - four Israelis and five foreign nationals - were killed
and 85 injured, 14 of them seriously, when a bomb exploded in the
crowded Frank Sinatra cafeteria on the Hebrew University Mt. Scopus

attack.
Have
You Heard...
Reported
recently in the Jewish Telegraph, Israeli press and by the Palestinian
propaganda machine, Exeter University professor, Richard
Seaford, no doubt prompted by anti-Israel extremists in
the National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education
(NATFHE), has refused to review a book written by a classics professor
at Israel’s Bar Ilan University, citing as his reason for
the snub to Professor David Schaps and his book The Invention of
Coinage and the Monetization of Ancient Greece:
