Question boycott , je crains que chaque boycott dans l’histoire a coute tres cher finalement a ses instigateurs , le meilleur exemple ayant ete le boycott petrolier arabe qui ne lui a rapporte que fort peu de soutien politique , rien de ses buts affiches et une degradation de leur developpement malgre la manne financiere que ca leur a rapporte et qu’ils ont ete incapables de transformer en developpement durable ! Au final , ils se sont plutot tire une balle dans les panards …..
On verra a l’usage ce que les syndicats universitaires et leurs apparatchiks politiques retireront de cette caguade ..
Le plus marrant c’est que les Palestiniens eux memes se gardent bien de boycotter le moins du monde les produits israeliens de quelque sorte qu’ils soient alors qu’on voit les sinistres cons pompeux en Europe , souteneurs de la Ste Koz se glorifier de decortiquer les etiquettes et ne rien acheter d’israelien ( Si ces minables imbeciles savaient ……)
Ignored by the Brits
Druze PhD student defends Israel, but British academicians uninterested

As a holder of two degrees from the University of Haifa and a PhD student at the University of London, I traveled to Bournemouth for the meeting of the British University and College Union (UCU) as an Israeli delegate on behalf of the Israeli Council for Academic Freedom.
The discussions at the meeting regarding the imposition of a boycott on Israeli academia took place in a hostile environment while ignoring all the facts we presented regarding freedom of expression and academic freedom at Israeli institutions of higher learning.
Evidence that Israeli lecturers who hold pro-Palestinian views are able to express their positions uninterrupted both in their research work and lectures, as well as in the media, had no effect whatsoever on the discussions.
Even when we presented a list of organizations and research centers that operate in the framework of Israeli universities and boast Israeli-Palestinian or Israeli-Arab cooperation, with the promotion of ties between the peoples their top agenda, it did not make a difference. The same was true when it came to calls by Palestinian lecturers and figures, including al-Quds University President Sari Nusseibah and Minister Raleb Majadele urging the UCU to refrain from boycotting their Israeli colleagues. Boycott leaders in Bournemouth ignored the figures I presented to them regarding the University of Haifa and the fact that close to 20 percent of students there are members of minority groups in Israel – apparently, we will also be subjected to the boycott. Futile battleThey were uninterested in the fact that Arab students, who view themselves as a national minority in the State of Israel,
are represented by a separate student committee and enjoy the freedom to act politically and on the public relations front. They were also uninterested in the fact that Professor Majid al-Haj is the deputy president of the research university, or that the Jewish-Arab center headed by Dr. Faisal Azaiza is considered one of the university’s most prestigious bodies. The truth is that it is clear to this group of lecturers that Israeli academia is least at fault for what is happening in our region, certainly when compared to the freedom of expression at our neighbors’ academic institutions. After all, the English know full well that the technological, academic, and cultural achievements in the State of Israel stem first and foremost from the freedom of expression and research in every field in Israel. Therefore, the figures we presented were futile, because all they cared about was their one and only objective: De-legitimizing the State of Israel with no relation to its academia; presenting it as an apartheid state that deprives its minorities of elementary rights such as education and the freedom of expression. They were particularly bothered by the fact that a student like me, a member of the Druze community, appeared in the meeting and defended Israeli academia. They protested the fact that I even agreed to study at institutions that are associated with the country’s majority population group and teach in its native tongue, Hebrew. I wonder how they would have reacted had I protested the fact that her majesty Queen Elizabeth is the patron of the University of London, and now I am studying in their native tongue, English. The writer, a member of the Druze community in Israel, is a graduate of the University of Haifa and a PhD student in the University of London. His grandfather, Salah Hanifas, served as a member of the second and third Knesset

comment les boycotteurs ont pu mettre cette liste en ligne sans utiliser aucun des produits développés par ces entreprises qu’ils prétendent boycotter ?

C’est une manifestation de l’humour britannique ? Du genre « Monty Python « ….
surtout que la majorite des Pentium sont produits par Intel dans sa « Fab » de Kyriat Gat ! Alors si ces sinistres connards etaient un tant soit peu consequents avec eux memes , ils devraient cesser immediatement d’utiliser leurs PCs et communiquer exclusivement par pigeons voyageurs aryens certifies !
Pour la petite histoire , quand l’usine d’Intel a ete en construction deux bergers un peu simplets se sont brusquement souvenus que du temps de 48 ils faisaient paitre leurs 5 chevres justement sur le terrain choisi qui bien sur leur appartenait ( y avait les papiers et tout et tout …..) Du coup toute la machine de propagande (la Propaganda Staffel) a menace Intel de boycott exige des compensations ( quelques milliards , tant qu’a faire …) Manque de bol , ils sont tombes sur du coriace ! Intel a ouvert un oeil , grogne et les cabots Palestos sont partis la queue entre les jambes en pleurnichant ( Ca aurait ete tres idiot de se facher avec Intel , c’est ce que des gens un peu plus senses leur ont explique en arabe ……. )

Moi, ce qui m’amuse le plus, ce sont ces listes d’entreprises à boycotter, parce qu’elles commercent avec Israël, qui circulent sur Internet. En général, on y voit des noms comme Microsoft, Intel, Hewlett-Packard et tout un tas d’autres entreprises d’informatique. Et la question que je me pose, c’est : comment les boycotteurs ont pu mettre cette liste en ligne sans utiliser aucun des produits développés par ces entreprises qu’ils prétendent boycotter ?
