The academic boycott against Israel continues to broaden, with a new petition signed by 168 academics and researchers in Italy calling to suspend all agreements with Israeli universities as well as the Technion, Israel's Institute of Technology in Haifa.

The petition comes three months after 343 British academics signed another petition calling for an academic boycott of Israeli universities on the grounds that they participate in violations of international law and support the occupation. [...]

Among the boycott measures proposed by the petition are the cessation of all collaboration with the Technion and other Israeli universities, including academic and cultural projects. The petitioners also announced that they will no longer attend visits and conferences that they are invited to in Israel. ...

Mussolini was no anti-semitic, but he ultimately caved to Nazi pressure.

Check the subject areas of these so-called “academics”.

Any bets?

The government is littered with enough so-called “post-fascists” that one may be forgiven for thinking so. Remember when Gianni Alemanno became Rome’s mayor in 2008 and crowds were yelling “Duce, Duce”?

Right - and when Israel comes up with another life saving treatment the whole world yells that they give it up, for free.

Mussolini straightened out Italy. His misfortune was to invade Ethiopia and Libya and hook up with Hitler.

Shout your support and wave an ISIS flag at Berkeley and no one says anything until... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOHJ06bsSow

Elitists being anti-semitic is hardly anything new, I suppose. But they do get really nasty when you point it out to them.

They know it’s wrong, then. But they’ve really committed themselves to the god of this world.

BTW, Marx himself incited antisemitism, who was himself ethnically Jewish.
What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need; self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money. ...
That is from On The Jewish Question,, which was published in 1844 and is a commentary on a book by his former teacher Bruno Bauer called The Jewish Question. Bauer was a Hegelian who always put forth the notion of abolition of religion, which Marx incorporated into his pseudophilosophy; he insisted in his own book that Jews had to give up their religion in order to be “emancipated”.

Why has the world always been so jealous of Jews?

You kowtow to those Muslim rapists?

You want your daughters to be raped by ISIS?

There is no two state solution. That is a myth concocted by white liberals who think there is such a thing as moderate Islam. There is only Islam, and there maybe a few moderate Muslims, but they are instantaneously demolished by the falling anvil of true Islam. ISIS Islam, Saudi Islam, Al Queda - these people are not apostates - they are the ones carrying the true Islamic faith - which is sworn to fight any removal of lands from Muslim domination. Israel has been the first time land has been taken back from the rapist realm and Islam will not rest until every Jew is removed from Palestine.

Netanyahu knows this, Obama does not, or refuses to acknowledge it publicly because it is an admission of the endless violent struggle the West has with Islam.

These useful idiot academics are making the rope that will be used to hang them.

Weird coincidence that this follows a flood of jihadists into Europe. Thanks Olog-hai.

This is nothing that 511 memorial services wouldn't fix.
