Another ignorant European heard from. The land is not occupied. It was acquired by Israel while fighting a war with Jordan which Jordan initiated. According to the Hague Second and Third Conventions, Israel may legally claim the territory acquired as part of the State of Israel and may settle it as she wishes. The Hague Third Convention actually goes so far as to imply that Israel would be well within her rights to force the Palestinians, who were Jordanian citizens (albeit second-rate) at the time the territory was acquired by Israel, to go to Jordan. JJ -- incorrect scholarship is worse than no scholarship. Perhaps you might wish to raise tulips or pole vault over canals -- which is about the only things the Dutch can really do well. International law and convention is clearly not your forte.

Of course not all the people of Spain support this desition. We also suffer terrorism and many of us are with you.

I would definitely boycot Spanish goods ...if I could think of any. What do they sell ?

This is refreshing news. It comes as no surprise because Spain is a civilized country that rejects apartheid and the occupation. Too many skeletons fill up Israel's big, transparent closet. I haven't read any of the TB but probably most of them bring up old and outdated issues like inquisition, need to free andalusia from christians, and the usual reactionary bla bla bla.... Spain is a wonderful country, suckers, get over it.

Israeli universities. sigh you heart your own population. oh well as long you don't whine.

Ariel University sits in Israel,our own country, yet the spanish ocupy Catalunya and Euscady without any problems, we should not want to go to any competitions held in a country that invades other people's land

The EUROS in general are digging their own graves with the labor of their Mulsim/Arab populations. It is regretful that their bias is demonstrated so overtly by claiming the college in occupied, as opposed to disputed, territory. The competition and the world at large will contiune to miss out on the brilliance that is a result of solid Jewish values in education AND the mother of invention.....neccessity. At least we in the US will continue to stand with our ONLY ally in the world in order to protect and safeguard what is rightfully theirs.

William (#5): "UNR242 clearly states that the land is indeed NOT occupied, but disputed." 242 does not state the above. Better leave the old horse in its stable.

Great Shame ! What do we now tell all the Arab Students who are participating in the project ? They too are boycotted and they dont deserve it ! Shall we now boycott Moratinos ? I am definitely in favour !

Unlike the United States, Israel does not let students in based on the color of their skin or their nationality, only on their ability to meet an intellectual standard.

States : withdrawal of Israeli armed foces from territories occupied in the recent conflict [ text at UN website] Israel did it . Israel has returned the Sinai to Egypt . Israel has given Jenin , Jericho , Ramallah and otherr places to the palestinian authority . Israel has also evacuated the Gaza strip . Having withdrawn from territories , as stipulated by UN 242 , There are'nt any more occupied territories . Ariel is now Israel , not an occupied place .

Well, Well, Well. Spain's boycott in full bloom. Will not stop until Israel allows the palestinians refugees to return to their original homes ........! Adios Israel, Muy buenas dias Allah, muhammad, ahmadino, hamas, al-qaida, and the rest of the gang. Maybe, we Israelis should all go to Megido, jump, in order to spare Spain the unfinished business of " conversion " of 1492......Blood gushing, torture meted by the banderillas, the final goring of the bull under the delirious approval of the masses, the Alhambra, the Moore's blood, the violent temper, all part of their islamic heritage, exploding with the fury of a charging bull.---- when you think of it , very little else. And like the rest of Europe, succumbing to muslim pressure for a new dawn, Islam in it's full glory.

Boycott Spain!!! Support Ariel (AUC). No Peace...No Justice! Kudos to Prof. Pascal Rollet and supporters. Let me hear from you: BoycottSpain@gmail.com

the spanish antisemites since the times when they would burn people on the stake for their fanatical and folse fait. so they should better be responsible to fix their old mistakes and not to go ontheir old way
