Rapid Response:

Should we consider a boycott of Israeli academic institutions? NO

It's ridiculous, if not worse, to involve the Israeli academics in
this context. This is pure hatred. This poor man has forgotten the great
contribution that Israeli scientists have given to the world. But anyway, as
always, Israel and Israeli people can rely only on themselves. But it
doesn’t matter, Israel will win this battle too.
