Academics act against British boycott

More than 10,000 academics, including 32 Nobel laureates and 53 university presidents have signed a public petition calling to remove an academic boycott on Israel, reported the organization Scholars for Peace in the Middle East (SPME) on Monday.

SPME, based in the United States, said in a statement that the purpose of the petition was to reverse the decision of the University and Colleges Union (UCU), adding they would deliver it to the union, “as an expression of outrage against the boycott, and as an act of solidarity with their Israeli academic colleagues.” for more click here
