More than 10,000 academics sign petition against U.K. boycott bid
By Tamara Traubmann, Haaretz Correspondent

More than 10,000 people have signed a petition denouncing attempts to mount an academic boycott against Israel. The petition was initiated in early June by Scholars for Peace in the Middle East (SPME), an independent, faculty-driven, nonprofit group.

SPME says the signatories are academics from various countries who "all agree that singling out Israelis for an academic boycott is wrong."

"To show our solidarity with our Israeli academics in this matter, we, the undersigned, hereby declare ourselves to be Israeli academics for purposes of any academic boycott. We will regard ourselves as Israeli academics and decline to participate in any activity from which Israeli academics are excluded," the petition states.

The petition is being signed electronically via the SPME Web site, where it was posted on June 4 to dispute the legitimacy of the British University and College Union's call for a boycott of Israeli academic institutions. The union called for the boycott as a protest against Israel's policies in the West Bank.

The decision caused a storm and was followed by British government condemnations, while Jewish groups even broached the possibility of a counter-boycott. Just last week, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) published two editorial pieces for and against. It drew a significant criticism for even raising the issue.

According to the SPME, all signatories are academics who declare their refusal to cooperate with any boycott of Israel. So far, 32 Nobel prize winners and 53 university heads have signed. Among them are the deans of Stanford, MIT, UCLA, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern and Brandeis universities.

Professor Alan Dershowitz of Harvard, a well-known legal scholar, drafted the petition. He said in an official SPME announcement, "If the union goes ahead with this immoral petition, it will destroy British academia. We will isolate them from the rest of the world."

The SPME says that its "mission is to inform, motivate and encourage faculty to use their academic skills and disciplines on campus, in classrooms and in academic publications to develop effective responses to the ideological distortions, including anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist slanders, that poison debate and work against peace."
