2. KCL London endorses BDS
Harold ,   USA   (03.26.14)
I predict that this is the beginning and it will grow very soon. Many can see what happened and what is happening.
3. Continuation of earlier politicisation effort6s
Israeli Grandma   (03.26.14)
There is a notorious hard-core anti-semitic pro-Pal element at KCL which has caused a lot of disturbance, most noticably during the Israeli military response in Gaza a couple of years ago. They are completely blind to the terrible warfare and suffering of civilians in Africa, Iraq, Syria etc. etc.
4. to 2
igor ,   Toronto canada   (03.26.14)
The evacuation of the settlements by in Israel- will not stop the conflict between the Jews and Muslims. The evacuation of the Muslims will.
5. Boycott The College: Transfer To Another School
emanon ,   USA   (03.26.14)
6. I think it quite likely ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.26.14)
... that the Trustees of King's College will tell the students that they are free to withdraw from the College at any time. Harvard did. MIT did. Princeton did. As did 138 other American universities. Surprise, surprise!
7. A bunch of Antisemites
Ezer   (03.26.14)
Who needs them anyway?
8. Death by a thousand cuts, time not on Israel's side, again
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.26.14)
9. ANOTHER BIT OF BRITISH ANTI-SEMITISM
stude ham   (03.26.14)
are we surprised? that attitude towards the Jewish people in England is more than 1,000 years old... and now, will this bit of anti-Semitic behavior begin a movement towards the expulsion of the Jewish people from anything English in England?
10. I hope there is an example made of these BDS'ers one day
k ,   US   (03.26.14)
they are trying to see the Jews weak again and when the Jews are weak the Jews are killed, all these "things" who ars supporting a boycott of Israel are hoping to see the Jews weak and I am hoping they can get a taste of their own medicine
11. Esau incites Ishmael to murder jacob
bernard ross   (03.26.14)
perennial, like the supersessionists investiment in the jewish failure in Israel
12. Spot the white native at KCL
(03.26.14)
13. The Western Caliphate or Britain as it was once called
tiki ,   belgium   (03.26.14)
is lost to Western civilization and has become part of the Arab Spring. We wish them well!
14. short sightedness
Stanley Feist, PhD ,   New York and Florida   (03.26.14)
Have these brilliant academicians considered the positives that these Israelis have added to the health and worldly understanding, the ideas and technology that allow us to live longer and healthier. I'm sure that, despite their high I Qs, they suffer from serious tunnel vision.
15. #2, oh yes
Eyal ,   USA Israel   (03.26.14)
People do not see lies and deceit from BDS. I predict Israel will soon Annex all lands and send the rest of the Jordanian National Palestinians to their homeland, which is Jordan.
16. #2 ..also Harold...the students would have a claim too
Shlomo   (03.26.14)
Those affected by this decision have 'ready-made' case against the perpetrators of this act if they can prove discrimination, loss and aggrievement. There is a potential for a massive backfire in the face of the blind bigots who apparently look but dont see. BBB Blinded By Bigotry. They will pay a price for their actions. Jew-haters have been around for centuries, and these idiots are no different. Instead of the 'Protocols of Zion' - they have built another vehicle for the 'legitimate' persecution of Jews.
17. I support BDS
Dan ,   Kefar Saba, Israel   (03.26.14)
I see no reason for Israeli factories to employ Non-Israelis (read Palestinians). The UNRWA has supplied the Arabs since 1948 and can keep on giving them handouts. Egypt's borders are open to Gaza and there is no reason for Israel to send in any supplies. The Gaza port was unused from 1948-1967 and is unused now. Israel should tear down the electric lines, and destroy all the housing built by Israel between 1967 and 2005. When I look at Beit Hanun, I see the same housing as I see in many of the Israeli cities - they in Gaza should go back to living in shacks and UNRWA supplied tents. Go Go BDS !!!
18. Illegal occupation?
Mark ,   London, UK   (03.26.14)
I am trying to research what constitutes an illegal occupation, as opposed to a legal one. Can anyone help? According to Wikepedia an occupation comes to an end when there is a peace settlement or a peace treaty. Putting aside who may be responsible for the fact that neither of these has yet come to pass, how is the occupation illegal?
19. Death by a thousand cuts, is a Muslim expression for Jihad
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.26.14)
20. One Day The Arabs and Moslems Will....
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (03.26.14)
overrun Britain. They will then be punished for their anti-Semitism.
21. King's College London Students' Union
CJK   (03.26.14)
king's college london students' union is constitutionally separate from king's college london. king's college london does not support the bds movement. king's college london rejects boycotts and stands for academic freedom.
22. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.26.14)
How have your predictions been coming along so far, Harold? I think you're what, 0 for 1000 on issues concerning Israel? Chuckle ....
23. #2 Yes, and they will end up in court
Shlomo   (03.26.14)
Yes - let's have a court case! These people will then need to prove their claims - which they wont be able to do - when the facts are tabled. Their behaviour is discriminatory and there will be a cost on them. They are kidding themselves if they believe Israel is the former South Africa. LOL! The Bigots Collective will have a nice time 'suffering for their beliefs'. BDS - Bigotry, Dishonesty - SHAME.
24. #8 Oh yes it is moron; the game's not even started!
Shlomo   (03.26.14)
Too quick to write off Israel? Y LOL! You have seen nothing. The unbelievable hypocrisy you and your type exhibit will be repulsed again and again. Eventually, you will still stay with your thoughts...but Israel and Jews will have exacted a heavy price on those who want to flaunt their bigotry to the point of social, economic, legal or military conflict.
25. BDS - King'sCollege
Abe Mizrahi ,   Mameroneck n.y. uSA   (03.26.14)
The Student Union Of King'sCollege College should boycot Russia, China, Turkey Iraq and Iran.They all occupy lands not their Owen. Those lands, unlike Israel and The West Bank, are Noy the result of unwanted war but out of expenyionisim.
26. Divest all Jewish monies and students from KCL NOW!
shadoil79 ,   Jerusalem   (03.26.14)
27. Oh, fair enough.....
Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (03.26.14)
....Well, not really, but let's pretend for the sake of argument. What the Israel society should now do, is inmediately propose a BDS motion on Turkey (N. Cyprus), Morocco (Western Sahara), and last but not least China (Tibetians will appreciate the gesture), to name but a few.... No matter how the vote swings, the outcome will like as not be a source of embarassment to KCL. The choice they have is between giving major offense to China et al, or to blatantly portray themselves as hypocrites.
28. This doesnt mean anything!
Elan ,   Toronto,Canada   (03.26.14)
The majority of the students in my school are Muslim Too. If they wanted to, they could easily pass DBS policy here. This has no reflection on the Institution, its simply the biased majority expressing something their families don't have back home.... Democracy, mixed with the blind Jew hatred they brought with them to these new countries they move to! ISRAEL, with its majority could boycott the Palestinians too. The King's collage Israelis are right? What would boycotting solve? As opposed to what it really is. A tool to express hatred !
29. Stop crying fellow Jews
Dov ben David ,   Eilat, Israel   (03.27.14)
This is what we will be facimg, more and more. We have to stop the ocupation or be alone im the world....
30. King's Jester
ik ,   USA   (03.26.14)
I fervently hope that the King's Jester College abstains from all things Israeli; including cell phones, internet and apps , many medicines and devices including the algorithms which controll countless of systems. By the way, has anything ever been invented in England besides bland food?
