We all eventually lose our minds in the end, even geniasses like hawkins. Look at people like Carter who champion peace and then go back on their word. Why should another idiot like Hawkins be any different!!

pitty that another person has fallen victim to antisemitic brainwashing. If Hawking so concerned about the ersatz palestinians to boycott Israeli academics (who include Arabs as well), then will he now also boycott academics from Spain, the UK, Russian, China, Serbia, France, Morocco, India and Pakistan- ALL of which occupy territories claimed by other nations and ethinicities! I can only imagine that Hawking has been bullied or coerced himself by antisemites to cause him to single out only Israel for a stupid boycott!

Fatah pioneered using vulnerable people for evil. At least Hawkings is still alive: they usually send physically, mentally or emotionally challened people as suicide bombers or scouts (hoping they will be killed by IDF)

What you say about China is rubbish-pure propaganda. Tibet is inextricably part of China, and always has been. The Tibetans have more freedoms and are far better treated than you treat the Palestinians. I know, because I have been there and spoken to local Tibetans. As for the Daily Liar.....you must have been a fish in your last life!

This will become more and more common. And calling a disabled man name just shows us to be petty and vindictive. School Ground politics has no place when the survival of the State is in question due to the occupation. It is time for normal decent Israelis to go 'ovewr the top' and take back ttheir country from the nutjobs of Brooklyn Heights

Hopefully Israel will survive Mr Hawking's withdrawal . . .

... and how well they've dined.

The jews have the greatest minds, having focussed for years on talmud study. Because we treat our own great minds with no respect, that a gentile great mind disrespects us. Measure for measure.

That is just the begining ! The worse is coming.... bad lauck boys, let Bibi save your asses

evaluted his openion i think it is from his physics rules not god rule ....again god bless him as i belive both are the same

antisemitic ignorant. Oh sorry he is a disabled man maybe now you may ask wy??

Somebody push him off a cliff please.

Tell you what. I'll drive by your house every day and - without aiming - shoot a .45 towards the front of your house. How long will you go before doing everything in your power to stop me?

...someone from the BDS campaign probably sent him some nasty threatening letter or email.

lately i wrote something about choices and time i said -to humans it is relate to th present enviroments of all and the indivdual and never to the past or future .god bless einstein he was the greatest sciencist in our age time .i think if he would be here another saying will b admitted

he wouldnt have been able to succed in the field of science as his 'arab' parents would have let him die because of his defect....If he were born to 'jewish ' parents he would be who he is today...yet he collapes from the bds pressure...hrumph

Agreed. Thanks for bringing some civility to the conversation.

Under Muslim rule, you wouldn't become a professor, Mr Hawking. Under the circumstances they would put you in a hole for the rest of your life. Lets review the ...past, shall we "Professor Hawking"? The Nazis despised Einstein on three counts. He was too smart for them, he was Jewish, and he advocated world peace. It didn't matter that his famous formula of E = MC squared laid the theoretical basis for an atomic bomb; Under the twisted logic of anti-Semitism, he was Jewish. Therefore, his work -- work that had wrapped up thousands of years of scientific observation into a few, dazzling theories -- was "Jewish physics" and must be wrong. While Hitler raved, his goons went into action. They burned Einstein's treatises. They raided his lakeside villa in suburban Berlin. They seized his furniture books, bank account and even his violin. Einstein's fellow physicists, the leading brains of German society, goose-stepped right in line with the brownshirts and threw him out of the Prussian Academy of Science as a "traitor." Fortunately, Einstein was world-wise enough to know what was coming. The previous fall, he had accepted an invitation from educator Abraham Flexner to study in America. Flexner's idea was to create a haven where physicists and mathematicians could ponder the nature of the world while remaining free from the world's cares -- and free from having to teach. He called this haven the Institute for Advanced Study, endowed it and set it up on the Princeton University campus. Einstein left Germany for good in December 1932, a month before the Hitler takeover. I will end it here because we all know without this man you would not be the modern "rock star scientist" you are now. Furthermore, I will not judge a man in your condition, I guess it's the meds.............. ....

If such an action is a protest - I wounder what is the result?

talk about jewish way :)

-neither is god - how do you know about god impression ??are you a relativ /are you the secretary i hope that god agree with my best doing ..it is hope only / becous god judgment is difefrent of any ones

that he does not know what he is talking about.

Just shows weak correlation between intelligence and common sense. Will he boycott those supporting terrorism, suicide bombers,death penalty for blasphemy and homosexuality etc.?

Please note that Prof. Hawking has retired from the Lucasian Chair at Cambridge, although I believe he remains a Fellow of Trinity College. Sev, Geneva

Maybe, just maybe... Hawkins is right. Think about it. You have all the military might in this world but you have messed this up, so don't blame the world if nobody understands why you can't share the land with the people who live on that land. Palestinians have same rights for that land as you have. No less no more. You can't force your own religious opinions to other people.

* All "Palestinian" covenants call for Israel's destruction. * All "Palestinian" society is dedicated to Israel's destruction. * "Palestinians" don't even try to hide their commitment to destroy Israel. Yet despite all this, and much more, Israel fails to treat "Palestinians" as the mortal enemies they are. Israel pampers them. Showers them with food, money, materials, electricity.. Absolute lunacy. Israel should deal with "Palestinians" as Churchill dealt with the Nazis.

that don't have basic human rights? You wouldn't think of boycotting them, would you, Stephen... We have far more serious problems in the world than the situation in Israel - so why is it always Israel everyone is obsessed with? Antisemitism is metaphysical, so it seems.
