... You must have spent quite some time to prepare your list of Israeli crimes and boycotts against. It was a waste of time about what is anyway being discussed, ceaselessly, on these blogs. In short, if Israel's crimes are presented without the other side's wars, crimes and terror, that is just prejudice. Things don't happen out of the blue. As about your list of boycotts, it is pitiful. And anyway, I was not talking about some boycott by a union or whatnot, but of Israeli academics! THAT is stupid! Israeli academics are top and top scientists have no time for politics. I have lived for more than twenty years among them and I know. Even Ariel's relatively new little college, which is in the territories, (the only one, if I am not mistaken), includes a Nobel prize winner. Not to speak of Weizman Institute (even this year a Nobel), Technion, etc... They belong to the scientific world, which obviously NEEDS THEM for advancing world science! And vice versa.
