Son las Universidades británicas antisemitas?

Es lo que parece si observamos los boicots a dos universidades israelíes recientemente promovidos por «The British Association of University Teachers (AUT) »

Contra la Universidad Bar-Ilan:

The AUT has noted:

* That Bar Ilan University supervises degree programmes at the College of Judea and Samaria in the illegal settlement of Ariel, near Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.
* That it is thus directly involved with the occupation of Palestinian territories contrary to United Nations resolutions.

Council resolves:

* To call on all AUT members to boycott Bar-Ilan University until it severs all academic links with the College of Judea and Samaria and with any other college located in an illegal settlement in the Occupied Territories.
* That the boycott should take the form described in the Palestinian call for academic boycott of Israeli institutions.

Contra la Universidad de Haifa:

The AUT has noted:

* That on May 15, 2002 Dr. Ilan Pappe, senior lecturer in Political Science at Haifa University, was sent a letter notifying him that he faced trial and possible dismissal from his position. The charge was that he had violated ‘the duties of an academic member of staff’, that he had ‘slandered departments and members in the humanities faculty, damaged their professional reputation and endangered the possible promotion of some of them.’
* That these accusations related to Dr. Pappe’s efforts to defend a 55 year old graduate student, Teddy Katz, whose Master’s thesis was under attack by an Israeli veteran’s organization because it documented a massacre of 200 unarmed civilians by the Haganah (the pre-state army of Israel) at a village called Tantura, near Haifa.
* That the recriminations are still continuing and Dr. Pappe’s job is still being threatened.

The AUT has therefore resolved:

* To call on all AUT members to boycott Haifa University until it commits itself to upholding academic freedom, and in particular ceases its victimisation of academic staff and students who seek to research and discuss the history of the founding of the state of Israel.
* That the boycott should take the form described in the Palestinian call for academic boycott of Israeli institutions.

Pero para enterarnos bien de lo que realmente está ocurriendo tenemos que seguir leyendo:

1.- Politicide, no less. By Jonathan Spyer

2.- Israel fumes at UK academics’ boycott. By Yaakov Lappin and Talya Halkin

Seguimos con el antisemitismo sistemático y con la dialéctica de «buenos» y «malos»…

Si conseguimos actuar, pensar, sentir y querer ser quien soñamos ser habremos dado el primer paso de nuestra personal “guerra de autodeterminación”. Por esto es importante ser uno mismo quien cuide y atienda las propias necesidades. No limitarse a sentir los beneficios de la libertad, sino llenar los días de gestos que nos permitan experimentarla con otras personas.

  1. Estoy con Stephen, Se debería habilitar una fórmula inequívoca para criticar si procede al estado de Israel.

  2. Me parece ridicula la acusacion de «antisemitismo» ,uno debe poder criticar sin que lo asocien al nazismo.
    Claro que tambien me parece ridiculo el boicot de las universidades britanicas.¿Son las universidades israelies el principal foco de problemas para las universidades britanicas?¿No tienen a nadie peor contra quein organizar un boicot?
