The actions are against the country Israel in response to what they see as its ongoing policy of human right violations. It is not against Jews.

Today, the Universities and Colleges Union is discussing whether universities should single out Israeli and Jewish scholars for active discrimination.

LGM, did you actually read what was written? They are trying to single out JEWS.

If it were Muslims or Blacks, you’d be having seizures.

I do not agree with what they’re doing. I personally volunteer my professional services to Israel from time to time. Still, there is no Nazi component to what this English organization is doing.

That’s great if you volunteer, but discriminating against Jews is not something the Nazis started. However, it was a percursor to their later policies.

Fortunately, they published a report condemning academic boycotts, issued in response to a call by the British Association of University Teachers (AUT) in spring 2005 for a boycott of two Israeli universities, Bar-Ilan and Haifa.

Those British academes keep on trying, don’t they?

Here is a letter in response to the proposed conference on the boycott of Isreali universities. The second paragraph is particularly informative:

To the Editor:

I have been a member of the AAUP for more than forty years and have never seen a more one-sided presentation of a controversial issue in Academe than the one dealing with proposed boycotts of Israeli universities (see the September–October 2006 issue). Yes, the antiboycott individuals invited to provide papers declined to do so, presumably on the ground that there is no quick answer to “when did you stop beating your wife?” Academe should have simply skipped the controversy or provided a short, balanced summary of the positions of both sides. As it is, printing the articles on dark gray paper seems to make some kind of statement—perhaps that the arguments are shady?

Here are some facts that have not been presented: there are thousands of Muslim Arab students and faculty members in Israeli universities, including the most prestigious. They enjoy equal status with Jewish students and faculty. There are zero, none, zip Jewish students or faculty members in Arab universities, whether Palestinian, Lebanese, Syrian, Jordanian, Saudi Arabian, Egyptian, Iraqi, and so on. Now my question is, whose universities should be boycotted for discrimination or their governments’ actions?

But no, it can’t happen here. Our Fascism has a Happy Face. Yes lgm we realize this is but sympathy for the Palestinians’ plight. The Grand PooBah Mullah of Jerusalem met with Adolph Hitler several times. Adolph Hitler too was a man of the Left despite some really bad history rewrites.

I applaud your resistance to what they are doing in Britain. However I must ask you: If you had to put up with relentless attacks on your land (the current land and the original hard-to-defend sliver of land given to them in 1948) and people for generations, at what point would you take the kid gloves off…?

WernerP….yup…you’ve got that one right.

At the University of Washington about a week ago they had a display of all the villages removed when Israel became a nation in 1948…they didn’t mention that the Jews predated them by thousands of years…(of course this isn’t anti-semitism yet) as the pro-Israel side on campus had a counter display arguing on their behalf as to why their state should exist at all

Sad they have to do that.

Fanatics and terrorists looking for oppoetunities to strike the Western targets probably love these clown because the elites are smoothing the hurdles for these fanatics to carry out their missions.

Yes, they do love them. They are their “useful idiots”. We have a few who troll here too.

They think they have the answers for all problems facing the society. In their mind, the Palestinian conflict is due to the existence of Israel. May be they shoulf be forced to explain, if Jews are also responsible for raging conflicts in India, Thailand, Indonesia, Sudan, train bombing in Madrid and London,……all of these conflicts having one common denominator: fanatic faction from a Peace loving religion: Islam.

It’s the blindness of thinking they can actually win despite history and prophecy proving otherwise. I guess they figure since they have the much greater numbers that evil by force will overcome hope and liberty of the few in the grand scheme of things.

Is it any wonder that most fictional fantasy stories always has a very small group outnumbered and being undermined from within and without standing against the countless hordes of those who would send the world into eternal darkness?

Indeed. Actually, LOTR is a work of mythology, not fantasy. Tolkien set out to create a mythology for Britain, as the Greeks and Romans had theirs.

Pedantry aside, it is a classical scenario, isn’t it? And what strikes me is that those idiots on the side of evil do not learn from history or their mistakes.
