The terrorist factories that pass for educational institutions in the Palestinian Arab areas of the West Bank and Gaza build shrines to suicide bombers, encourage women to become mass murderers, train students to attack civilian buses, and call for jihad against infidels throughout the world—but the Association of University Teachers in Great Britain wants to boycott Israeli cultural and research institutions. (Hat tip: Ralph.)
The AUT offers support to colleagues in Palestine who have struggled for many years to establish and maintain a free and democratic system of higher education in the face of overwhelming difficulties.
We are affiliated to the Trade Union Friends of Palestine, and urge our members and local associations to support the aims of that organisation.
We also urge our local associations to establish links with Palestinian universities, including campaigning for formal twinning arrangements between Palestinian and British institutions, to support colleagues and students there, and resist the narrowing of their opportunities and suppression of their academic freedom by the oppression of the occupation.
To name just one program, the Israeli College of Judea & Samaria in Ariel is engaged in a visionary research project to improve the navigation capabilities and autonomy of robotic rovers for use in space exploration. NASA may incorporate their work in the next mission to Mars, in 2009.
But the stinking hypocrites of the Euro-Brit educational trade unions prefer to throw in their lot with debased murderers.
