A group representing 5,000 U.S. professors has endorsed an academic boycott of Israeli colleges and universities.
The American Studies Association says it voted for the boycott "as an ethical stance."
"It represents a principle of solidarity with scholars and students deprived of their academic freedom and an aspiration to enlarge that freedom for all, including Palestinians," a Dec. 4 statement said.
According to The New York Times, which reported the boycott Monday, the action — the first time the group has called for an academic boycott of any nation's universities — makes the group the largest of its kind to back a movement aiming to isolate Israel because of its treatment of Palestinians.
The academic group said the boycott doesn't apply to "individual Israeli scholars engaged in ordinary forms of academic exchange," including conferences, lectures, and research.
It justified the boycott, saying it was "warranted given U.S. military and other support for Israel; Israel's violation of international law and U.N. resolutions; the documented impact of the Israeli occupation on Palestinian scholars and students"; and "the extent to which Israeli institutions of higher education are a party to state policies that violate human rights."
"There was an incredible swell of applause and enthusiasm for the speakers who supported the boycott," University of California-Riverside professor David Lloyd told Al Jazeera.

Then we could find out where they "teach" and run our own academic boycott of their colleges.
I'd love to see a list showing each college and the percentage of the faculty that are these people. I kinda can guess what some of them might be.
“....as an ethical stance.”
Hahahahahahaha.....
What a joke coming from those who espouse the resurgence of World Marxism - and here in the United States, to boot!
I think many other schools had lots of Jewish Professors.
Is this NOT the case today?
American universities are on welfare. It’s time for academic welfare reform.
That would be the pre-schools that teach their students how to put on suicide vests.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
..................
Publish that list. I want to hand it to my daughter and son, both of whom are in college.
Forewarned is forearmed.
This shows the quality of American Professors.
Is it any wonder our country is in trouble with these a-wipes doing the teaching?
Our colleges have become brainwashing institutes.
We send them out youth and they corrupt them with liberalism.
Notice that the vote was also held on a Saturday (Jews cant vote on a Sabbath) and probably was a special snap vote - timed for control of the outcome.
Exact the same tactics were used by the Ontario Federation of Labour in Canada, a few ago, to pass their version.
Less than 50% of the membership were aware of the proposition before the vote.
Contrived.
Does this extend to a boycott/divestment of Saudi institutions since they prohibit any non-Islamic theological studies and will seize/destroy privately owned texts?

Shut up and go away. You are bothering the adults.....
"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.
That’s 5,000 knuckleheads that the Israelis will not have to put up with.
Educators in this country are leftist idiots...for the most part. The others are silenced.
That’s where academic leadership has gone along with business and political leadership.
They feel really good about themselves for doing this. Therefore, it’s the right thing to do./sarc
I say we boycott their colleges and universities. Where’s the list?
Making a list, checking it twice ....
Now we know who the enemies of Israel are in academia. Need to get the complete list and send it around.
I will, to my synagogue and people I know in other Jewish organizations.
Would be nice to cut into alumni donations to these academic cesspools of antisemitism.
