Science minister: Science is real victim of boycott
None
Science and Technology Minister Yaakov Peri responded to the American Studies Association endorsement of an academic boycott against Israel: "The main victim here is international science, which connects between people from different ethnicities, nationalities, and political affiliations, and it must stay that way."
Peri added, "The decision does not differentiate… between a political expression and scientific undertakings." (Shahar Chai)
