Britain’s main university lecturers’ union, NAFTHE, has voted to boycott Israeli colleges and academics unless they publicly denounce their own country: Israel slams ‘repulsive’ British academic boycott.
But the Jerusalem Post points out that this resolution will only be valid for three days: UK ‘regrets’ NATFHE boycott decision. (Hat tip: Carl in Jerusalem.)
The boycott motion approved by NATFHE will only be effective for three days due to a merger between NATFHE and the Association of University Teachers, a smaller union, which is scheduled to take place on June 1. NATFHE has indicated that the new body will not be bound by the decision.
