And Now...British Academia

The list of professional British Dhimmis just got longer. Britain's Universities and Colleges Union (UCU) have voted to consider a boycott of Israeli academic institutions. The UCU proudly joins the British doctors, press and architects who have recently traveled down this road. This from the Jerusalem Post;

The union, which represents 120,000 university teachers, urged its members to consider the "moral implications" of links with Israeli academic institutions. It left it up to local branches to decide whether to actually boycott.

A full debate is expected in UCU branches across Britain, with the aim of a vote on an actual boycott at the union's conference next year.

Motion 30 condemns Israel for its "denial of educational rights" to the Palestinian people and calls for UCU branches to discuss an academic boycott of Israel over the next year.

"Israel's 40-year occupation has seriously damaged the fabric of Palestinian society through annexation, illegal settlement, collective punishment and restriction of movement," the motion said. "Congress deplores the denial of educational rights for Palestinians by invasions, closures, checkpoints, curfews, and shootings and arrests of teachers, lecturers and students."

"Congress condemns the complicity of Israeli academia in the occupation... Congress believes that in these circumstances passivity or neutrality is unacceptable and criticism of Israel cannot be construed as anti-Semitic," it added.

Naturally, there is no mention as to why there are "invasions, closures, checkpoints, curfews, and shootings and arrests of teachers, lecturers and students." Could it be that Israel is trying to thwart terrorist attacks? Apparently, that is no concern to the UCU if little Mohammad can't go to kindergarten and watch Jihad Mouse with his wanna be suicide bomber classmates.

Why isn't the UCU offering scholarships to these poor prodigies? Nuclear Physics would be a very popular curriculum for this bunch. How about Advanced Chemistry? Rocket Science?

I am sure to receive the same comments from the same well meaning Brits, such as; "It's not all of us, they are idiots and it's probably the Moslems in the bunch who are causing all this trouble."

Enough. Tomorrow it’s the truck drivers and next week the painters. This is a trend that is strengthening as time goes on. If you want to surrender your soul and join Eurabia, go for it. Don't take us with you.
