I apologize for the spelling errors in my previous comment. Here is a better spelled version of the same comment: Let me tell you briefly how we, the Israelis, see this boycott: Sixty years ago we, the Jewish people, where slaughtered, chocked in gas chambers, burned in the Crematorium. All that happened on the soil of the "enlighten" Europe... The survivors (our parents and grand-parents) found refuge in their historical homeland, which, at that time, was occupied by the British... This homeland is not in the size of Britain; in fact, it is much closer to the size of the district of London... sixty kilometers wide including the occupied territories, 18 kilometers wide without. Surrounded by more than one hundred and fifty millions hostile Arabs we still have to fight for our own life in order to prevent a second Holocaust. Occupying the territories was forced upon us in such an attempt. And now, the arrogant British, who occupied one quarter of the world for centuries, who still occupies parts of Ireland, and still holds colonies all over the world, thousands of kilometers from home, are boycotting us... what for? for holding our own land; the hypocritic British are judging us harshly because we try to survive in an extremely hostile environment... because we try to have normal life while being attacked by armies ever since we landed here, being exposed to brutal terrorism from a population who wants us being kicked to sea... This is indeed so ridiculous, so much unfair, hence we cannot avoid the conclusion that the British academy either suffers from an antisemitic epidemy, or being deliberately vicious to Israel in order to bribe and flatter the growing Muslim population in UK. You now realize how bad indeed the British academy, and the British media, look in the eyes of most Israelis (and Jews in general).
