Association of University Teachers in UK still boycott 2 Israeli Universities!
 

People in UK, I'd like to ask you (if you know anything about this)... is this association really significant and official, or are there other more important teacher associations in the UK then the AUT?


here is the response of the Bar Ilan University rector btw:

"Council delegates also referred a call to boycott the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the executive committee will investigate the background to this and will report in due course."

hahaha yeah I'd love to see them boycott the Hebrew University. This will be the end of AUT

:Graucho :Graucho

It's going to start happening a lot more until Israel ends the assault on the Palestinians. Academic boycotts of Israel are gaining steam in the US and Canada as well.

Similar to how the boycott of South Africa started.

idiots indeed !

1. can you show me an example?
2. what assault are you talking about? Israel is about to withdraw from the gaza strip and give the palestinians lands for nothing in return while there is still terorrism against Israeli soldiers and civilians.
3. did you even read AUT's reasons for the boycott? what the fuck does is have to do with any assault? (epacially read the reason for the Haifa University boycott).
4. Did you know that there is a large percentage of palestinian students with Israeli citizenship in the Haifa University? this boycott is gaining nothing for them.

Rich, if you think this is going to happen a lot more, then why do you think they haven't boycott the Hebrew University yet? It is pretty known for it's right wing orientation.

I'll tell you why,
Because the Hebrew University has a world class academic reputation. It owns the copyright for all of Albert Einstein's articles.
If the AUT or any other wannabe association would boycott the Hebrew University they would own themselves.

I don't want to get into a debate about Israel's crimes against the Palestinians or their "gaza withdrawal" plan with you Alex, it's futile. I'll look for the examples of future boycotts being discussed, my wife is a college professor and she was at a conference on that subject a couple months back.

Yeah, I'm sure that is your favorite masturbation material, that and some hitler pictures you fucking moron :321GFY

sig spot


:stoned :stoned

Yes it's a fact that this is being discussed more out in the open these days. It used to be if you were against Israeli aggression you were automatically labeled an anti-semite, but this seems to be changing.

I acknowledge the Israeli state, but I would never travel there or buy any products produced there until there is a just peace, and not this apartheid free state bs they are playing at now.

What? Anyone have a retard to English dictionary handy?


I fell the same way, and I'm a jew so it's extra funny when people call me an anti-Semite.

More and more members of UK academia are rebelling against the AUT on this issue and speaking out against the pro-"Palestinian" idiots.

I'm sorry to say this, but Jew-hatred is alive and well amongst the AUT.

fuck 'em , straight up

Fucking AUT nazi's...

...(seems that you must be one if you dare to object to anything Israel or jews do...)

Stop Sharon's suicidal retreat from Gaza!

can you please shutup with your pro-israeli crap... i'm not against israel but i'm fed up of hearing them complaining and bitching every two seconds as if the world owes them something...

your loss...

the world "owes us" recognition of our universities... they are are a lot better academic wise then the "Al Quds University" :1orglaugh

and the "world" is stupid to boycott the Haifa University out of all due to political reasons because it has the most palestinian students then any other Israeli University.

btw, are there Jewish students in any of the palestinian 'universities'?

didn't think so...
