1. Boycott
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (05.31.07)
What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Hopefully, this won't be the first or the last counter-boycott.

Danielle ,   centre   (05.31.07)
6. Boycott Britain
Simon ,   Malha   (05.31.07)
As an expat, I would suggest we just boycott Britain, it is a failing country anyway.. look at its education system, the NHS and the actual low turnout at all elections leading to an undemocratic government - as the majority do not get the party they want..and democracy just does not exist there BOYCOTT THEM!
7. Start new cooperations with Israel
Bernd ,   Germany   (05.31.07)
As someone who is deeply involved in collaborative research on European level, I have worked with English universities a lot in the past years, and intend to do so in the upcoming 7th Framework Programme of the EU. But now I will ask my British colleagues about this boycott, be assured. No-one can force me work with so-called academics who favour academic boycotts, let alone anti-Jewish boycotts. On the other hand, I will use this occasion to seek for Israeli contacts and establish a new academic cooperation with them (Israel is a fully eligible partner in the current EU Framework Programme for R&D). I have already located potential partners at the Technion in Haifa, at the Faculty of Agriculture in Rehovot, and at the Ben Gurion University in Beer Sheva. My plan is to get at least one cooperation project going within the coming 12 months. Bernd, Germany, Old Europe
8. Protest Against the Boycott
Manni ,   Leeds UK   (05.31.07)
Whilst its a Symbolic gesture all Jewish graduates should collect together their university degrees and send them back the the chancellors of the University that isued them explaining why they are no longer proud to own a certificate from institutions that believe in academic freedom for only the select few.
9. There are also some Israeli academic who back the UK boycott
Jew ,   Jerusalem   (05.31.07)
And they still are on academic payrolls!

Barry ,   Tokyo   (05.31.07)
"believe me soon the whole world will see that living under islam is much better and much nicer where women know their places in society " That´s exactly what´s wrong with you people. Forcibly circumcizing women while beating them to keep them in their place is sooo...... how should we put it, barbaric. Now you know what you are.

16. boycott
JEROME   (05.31.07)
Israel and the world jewry should completely boycott england , english product and everything that is made in england. Anyway , this is not new that english are antisemite, they are the looser, england as well as the rest of european country is on decline, they will need us soon for something else. Let s make a petition in order to counter attack by our boycott. They don t have the monopole of boycott.....
17. Well done!

18. Rachid #2 I am also
trudi ,   israel   (05.31.07)
Habby Habby Habby Allah
19. Frozen funds, now what boycotters???
D ,   ISrael   (05.31.07)
You boycott Jews, they freeze your funds so now what? This is all against Israel and Jews in particular. However, we always prevail.
20. #2- Rashid
(05.31.07)
Thanks for telling the truth, brother. Do not pay attention to those who fail to take you seriously. I do. Keep posting! Maybe one of these days the infidels will see the light.
21. Non-Jew To boycott Britain
George ,   South Africa   (05.31.07)
I am appalled at this decision to boycott Israeli academics & the injustice of it.Even though im not Jewish,i have decided not to support Britain with any trade through my numerous companies.I will be looking for alternative sources of imports & will not travel to England anymore. Please believe me Israel, you have large support from non-Jews like me. GOD bless Israel.
22. Shame on these British hypocrites!
Recind the futile ,   boycott, USA   (05.31.07)
''I profoundly believe this does nothing to promote the Middle East peace process,'' he said. And that, my dear British phony sanctimonious ass-kissing academics, is the BOTTOM LINE.
23. fighting back???
RobertK ,   Jerusalem   (05.31.07)
If only we'd do it against Hamas!
24. UK Jews should leave
Chaim ,   Canada   (05.31.07)
and then the UK will become a third world country. It's a proven fact that a country that treats Jews well succeeds. Whether it's G-d's doing or whether it’s the Jews themselves who contribute to the success of the country. So if all Jews left, the UK's decline will accelerate and no one will care about anything it does or says.
25. boycott
roland ,   jerusalem   (05.31.07)
Old fashioned English Soldier Language is only what these Academics understand.I have served in the English Army .and after thistboycott vote see little of the values that we upheld as a matter of course.I am utterly ashamed.for they have torn the Great British Nation assunder
26. #6 AND NOW
Israbrit   (05.31.07)
TEACHERS have been told to frisk kids and their bags for knives....What teacher in his/her right mind would risk getting stabbed ? Another bright BRITISH educational idea.
27. Don't be so quick to be happy......
Scooby ,   Ramat Gan   (05.31.07)
Do you know the phrase "he who laughs last laugh loudest......? Do not be so quick to be that happy - after all you are the next ones. I can't see you having your version of The Mouse for much longer. You are so intent on teaching the kids to hate that you have lost your way. This sort of thing will backfire on the people who support it.
28. #4
Brooke ,   Reality Check   (05.31.07)
Very clever! Yes the Brits should all change their names to Neville Chamberlain. Clearly, they have nothing to say about their own suicide bombers? I surmise the UK acadamia is so stupid and so cowardly that they honestly think feeding the islam beast with appeasement will work. Their 7/7 has taught them nothing but weakness. They have already been swallowed up and spit out as dummy dhimmis. Boycott the UK=Eurabia
29. to #21-George thank you and bless you!! END
