Ex-Harvard president and former Treasury secretary Lawrence Summers slammed the boycott on the "Charlie Rose" show, saying the boycott singled out Israel and was "anti-Semitic in effect."

"My hope would be that responsible university leaders will become very reluctant to see their university's funds used to finance faculty membership and faculty travel to an association that is showing itself not to be a scholarly association but really more of a political tool," Summers said on the Dec. 10 program.

Well said by Larry Summers. Democrats with sanity might be an endangered species, but this shows they aren't quite extinct yet. But note that Summers is out of government now.

They feel really good about themselves for doing this. Therefore, it’s the right thing to do./sarc

It could be said that Summers is sane, but it could also be said that he is inconsistent. Did he really expect the Left to boycott all those other countries targeted by the Communists but leave Israel alone?
