Israeli academic and medical institutions are the places where Arabs
and Jews mix on an equal footing. Israeli hospitals treat Israeli Jews and
Arabs equally and Palestinian Arabs are brought for treatment to Israeli
Hospitals. Whatever their political stand, who exactly do the proponents
of boycott want to harm? Those who support an academic boycott of Israel
do so because of hatred of Israel as a concept and not because of any real
wish to help the Palestinians.
