I really don't see much of a difference - American academics loathe Israel just as much as the British academics do. The "gesture" that the British academics made should not be the sole criteria upon which this gentleman judges matters. I'm perfectly willing to accept that academics in Britain are left wing kooks, I'm saying that it's not just the UK, there are left wing, pro-Palestinian kooks in almost every Western university.

I do also wonder about what this fellow feels about the Sorbonne. Whatever British academics have said, that's nothing compared to the vitriolic hatred they'd get from French academia.

Probably the hatred stems from the days of Palestinian Mandate, I don't know. I think they have spoken out against France's Muslim and white far right and left-wing anti-Semitism as well.

Anyway, so much with politics about the World Cup. At least because HK was a former British colony we grew up watching English football. I know many of my friends in HK root for England in the competition. Let's see who wins LOL.
