The academic boycott of Israel organized by the BDS movement claimed a big success when the Guardian ran an article yesterday, Stephen Hawking joins academic boycott of Israel.

That report set off a furious response, since the academic boycott of Israel is anathema to almost all academics.

In the U.S., only the disreputable...

We have written several times about the academic boycott of Israeli academic institutions by the Association of Asian American Studies, and how it is part of the greater Boycott Divest Sanction movement meant to delegitimize Israel:

The anti-Israel Boycott Divest Sanction (BDS) movement achieved a victory earlier this month when the Association for Asian American Studies (AAAS) endorsed an academic boycott of Israeli universities, the first ever such resolution passed by a professional academic association outside the Middle East.

The boycott was proudly supported by the past President of AAAS, Rajini...

Holocaust Memorial Day was commemorated last week. The day occasioned a number of remarkable stories.

Orin Kerr wrote about his late father:

The death march brought Aronek and his group to a death camp called Rieben in West Prussia. On the way there, they slept on church floors and were barely fed by their...

Mandy will have an update on #OpIsrael either later tonight or in the morning.

My suspicion is that we have another historic Palestinian victory inflicting severe injury on the Zionist entity, just like all their other victories.

One of the victories attempted by the hackers was to take down the Yad Vashem Museum website. They failed.

Jeffrey Goldberg wondered how someone could call themselves “pro-Palestinian” if they try to hack the Yad Vashem museum...

We have written numerous times about the depraved “pinkwashing” narrative, that Israel must be condemned by gay rights activists for publicizing the fact that it is the only country in the Middle East where gays are not persecuted.

That simple truth is too much for the anti-Israeli activists to bear because it...

I have been sounding the warning siren about Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan for years.

His mask of moderation has been slipping steadily, if it ever was there.

He has engaged in repeated rants against Israel, and now he has gone the full distance reviving the vile and rebuked Zionism is Racism...

We’ve delved the depths of the despicable Boycott Divest Sanction movement against Israel.

We are dealing with real bottom-feeders who have worked their ways onto campuses almost everywhere, supported by vicious people like George Galloway.

Given the sordid history of Leftist-Islamist anti-Israel campus agitation, particularly in Britain, everyone expected the worst when a vote...

George Galloway is the face the British left’s desire to destroy Israel, as ugly as it gets.  As Christopher Hitchens put it, George Galloway Is Gruesome, Not Gorgeous.

Galloway is a member...

There has been a controversy raging about Brooklyn College’s sponsorship of a BDS conference.

For those of you who have not been paying attention, the BDS movement seeks to delegitimize and destroy Israel by, among other things, boycotting companies like SodaStream, Sabra hummus and Aroma Cafe.

The embrace given the BDS conference by Brooklyn College...

Could be either, except that Israel didn’t exist in the 1930s.

So writes Caroline Glick:

After participating last week in a debate in London about Israeli communities beyond the 1949 armistice lines organized by the self-consciously pretentious Intelligence Squared debating society, I can now say from personal experience that Amis is correct. The public atmosphere in England regarding Israel is ugly and violent….

You need no better example of the psychotic pathology of anti-Israeli Arabs, and the equally pathetic moral weakness of Harvard, than this story about a protest over an Israeli food buffet at Harvard Business School, Harvard ‘deeply troubled’ by row over Israeli buffet (emphasis mine):

The Harvard Business School is “deeply troubled” for having offended Arab...

Roger Cohen of The NY Times was one of the worst cheerleaders of the Islamist takeover of Egypt.

On February 3, 2011, Cohen already was framing concerns about Islamist influence in the revolution as a right-wing and Israeli distraction:

Already we hear the predictable warnings from Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu: This could...

Via Professor Bainbridge, the Presbyterian Church once again is considering a divestment of Israeli companies as part of an ongoing attempt to boycott everything Israeli:

Once again, the Presbyterian Church (USA) is considering divesting from certain companies that do business with the Israeli government. As I explained the last time the church went down this...
