...was initiated.... some Israeli architects.... well, the state must sue these smarties, should boycott will be imposed, for economic damage with costs in millions. You start the clean-up at home, anit-Israelis all around the world use our home idiots to say - look, even Israelis themselves consider Israel a criminal country. And about British - this is a classical anti-Jewish country ( drop the euphemism anti-semitic, Arabas are Semites as well.) Majority of Brits look at Jews as some kind of vermin - with disgust.

Bring Israeli architects to Israel and send them back ALL Arabs. OR Israel should expel Arab architects.

When Israel had a Temple of Marble in Jerusalem some of those Idiots where living in Huts. Second "The Settlements" are Arabs living in Biblical Israel. Not the other way around. Ignorant Architect should read the Old Testament and find out about the Territory of the Jews. Gaza area Judea and Samaria....Hum ! They should move to the deserts and live with scorpions before making stupid comments.

They should change the name of the union to IJHU. International Jew Haters Union.

Maybe that's appropraite as they are clearly taking this p***. All Jewish businesses and individuals in the galut should ensure that if they use an architect, it is one who is not a member of this racist union. What other countries' architects are they boycotting? China, Zimbabwe, Iran, Burma? No only Israel's. But of course, they are not anti-semitic because some of their best friends are 'Jewish', Ilan Pap and Norma Funkelstein.

They should be stripped of Israeli citizenship and sent to gaza.

Jews would not worry at such threats. Throughout Jewish history they were threatened by goyim plenty of times. They'd know that the international community will come running on all four after their brainpower. And even if not, the Jews will create their own "international Architects Union" and be more successful than the anti-Semitic Union, after all Jews have siyata Dishmaya.

Do we need this damn thing? Another useless thing just like UN.

Israeli architects have contributed to society (see kibbutz architecture and developments, as well as housing for immigrants in Israel) like no other architects in the world. The moral perversity and myopia of world architects that build sumptuos, lavish buildings for tyrants (Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Latin America) and the rich (Europe, U.S.) as well as concentration camps in the XX century is appalling. As an example of the twisted minds of "international architects" see: Packer, George, "The Mega City, Lagos becomes an Urban test Case" in New Yorker Magazine, November 13, 2006.) The teaching of architecture and the monstruos attitudes of world architects needs a profound revision. Now these obtuse people are promoting a "Judenrein" world.

The British are kissing their Arab clients again. Alm they want is rich contracts from the arabs. They don't really give a toss about the Palestinians. Bill Clinton offered the Palestinians $100 Billion for construction projects in Gaza and West Bank on two main conditions. One, give up armed struggle for good. Two, accept a negotiated settlement of the land for the independent State. They told Clinton and everyone else the offer would not be accepted if it were a trillion dollars. Palestinians have been bred to hate what they call 'The People of the Book'. They are not fighting for land. They don't need to. They are already living on it. The bits Jews / Israelis are living on were given to us by the UN in the Partition Plan. The arabs wouldn't accept that idea either. All they really want to do is exterminate Jews. All the British want is money from Arabs. The British economy is teetering on ruin because the architects and real estate dealers have cheated the British people out of the meaning of the word 'property'. A house in Britiain is not a home. It is collateral for a credit card account. There is going to be some falling bricks and mortar in Britain......... because Arabs are pushing up oil prices with their love of terror and war. Stupid British. Money talks they say! I know what it is saying. It's saying "money's worth nothing in comparison to salvation". Let's see how the Palestinians and their Arab bankers will save the British!? Personally, I think the Euro is a better option than a pound. But Jews don't have a lot of friends in Europe either. Seems like most people in this world can be bought at a price. Not us Jews however. We're priceless. We invented money.

This is just upscale anti-Semitism. The British are very good at it.

look at places where israel withdrew..what have the arabs built? it's not about jews building it's about jews living

none of these support this outrage although of course the left leaning ones will. What will it matter anyway, Israel can do without a lot of things especially misguided architects.

Simply consistent with their VERY long history of anti-Semitism. By the way, when was the last time the Brits built anything of note?

It seems that the only issue of importance for the British academic institutes, is how can they efficient contribute to demonise and destruct Israel. The hate towards Jews and Israel is flourishing in the UK, mainly in the academic circles. The many attempts of boycotting or expelling Israeli academics is ridiculous and reminds me of the Nazis and their "Sippenschaft" punishment. It won't surprise me if in future, the same British circles which seems to be under a heavy Muslim spell, will attempt to expel also Israeli homosexuals, models, cooks, babies with the name Isaac and God knows who else... Poor old Britain !

It is interesting that they are singling Israel out when there are many architects in the IAU that participate in worse projects. In fact, the magazine 'Foreign Policy' (http://www.foreignpolicy.com/users/login.php?story_id=4261&URL=http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=4261) they had an article about architects taking on projects that could potentially ruin their reputation because of who their clients were.

after all the arabs are illegally on our Jewish land.

it will backfire as US law forbids joining boycotts. Also many Jews in the US and GB will sue the boycotters and win BIG!

which are the friendly countries?

and not Jews ....

the building of "settlements" in "occupied lands".

architects who have designed building and renovations to property confiscated from Jewish families during WWII and in the Arab countries. That is where the real settlements are. As far as those deemed to be in the "occupied territory". It is Jewish territory occupied by Arabs!!
