In the wake of Operation Cast Lead, a group of American university professors has for the first time launched a national campaign calling for an academic and cultural boycott of Israel.
While Israeli academics have grown used to such news from Great Britain, where anti-Israel groups several times attempted to establish academic boycotts, the formation of the United States movement marks the first time that a national academic boycott movement has come out of America. Israeli professors are not sure yet how big of an impact the one-week-old movement will have, but started discussing the significance of and possible counteractions against the campaign.

Well, fortunately for American Jews, they aren’t surrounded by mulitiple countries of radicalized muslims and nation-states controlled by the same.
It's time for the sleeping giant (that's us) to break out the writing pad and pen, and start flooding university management, and their donors, with short and sweet to-the-point letters and faxes concerning the behavior of their employees. We have looked the other way for too long. The time for silence is over. Way over. imo.
I want to see the names.

Such a brave, brave world. A world full of cowardly anti-Semites.
I once joked that if all the Jews in the world got together, bought an Island like Tasmania, far, far away from the rest of the world and all moved there, the Arabs, Muslims and all the other anti-Semites would start building boats and ships to go after them, try to take their island away from them and kill them all.
All the leftists and Islamofascists would still be PO’d at the poor Jews.
As a percentage of the world population, those who happen to be Jewish have contributed a disproportionate amount of creativity to all of the arts, science, medicine, economics and so many other fields. The rest of the world must be so jealous or envious that they have to hate the Jews.
And I’m calling for a boycott of US professors.
These are the people who are educating your kids. And you pay for it.
When the more time you spend under their tutelage, the more likely you are to be screwed up, its time to find alternatives.
Well, liberal (and Israel hating) college professors have an effect on our young people and those young people are soaking it up. We should be concerned.
They should do it. They’d have 4 times the territory they do now.
Israel is almost exactly the size of the county I live in.
Anti-Semitism never really passed out of fashion; for a while, after the Nazi excesses of World War II, it was simply whispered. Now, with the horrors of the Holocaust fading from memory, once again it’s okay to be openly anti-Semitic, and those who were once so on the QT are now becoming increasingly brazen about it.

I'd like to find a way to get these people fired.
So many egghead leftist academics, so little hemlock...
The world has always been a dangerous place for Jews. -And the world hates it when Jews fight back.
Oh I am sure that there are much more. They just don’t feel brave enough to attack- ...yet.
I’m going to send Sherna Gluck Melanie Morgan’s brilliant article about self-hating Jews.
Are they going to stop reading articles and consuming technology produced on Weizmann and Technion? Just wondering.
Considering you make no reference to any other ethnic or racial group that votes overwhelming Democrat (blacks and Catholics are okay voting Democrat, but Jews...)
I can only assume that you have got a ‘problem’ with ‘da Jooooos’.
It does not come as a suprise that those professors hate Israel, they also hate the United States.
And you are right on target that the Jews have contributed so much, to be so few.
One of my all time favorite books is titled:
“What the Church Owes the Jew.” Written by Dr. Leslie B. Flynn, a former 40 year pastor at Grace Baptist Church in Nanuet, New York.
P.S. I’m not a Baptist, nor a Jew, and I have never meet Dr. Flynn. nor been to the Church; but I highly applaud the message in this book.
LOL. Now, that is some serious reasoning ability you have there. Did you do it all on your own?
Oh, wait, this is a thread on Israel, I didn’t realize there were a lot of Blacks and Catholics in Israel.
Pretty glaring dodge, there.
Do you blame all the blacks... and all the catholics for their tendency to vote Democrat, the same as you do the Jews?
Having dodged that question makes idle minds wonder.
Well, I’d give you the truth as to my opinion, which you would find very favorable.
But since you put the innuendo in there that if I didn’t defend myself...I would be a Jew Hater, I’ll just have to let your silly imagination run.
