Boicot als dels boicot

Un seguit de professors i investigadors catalans (uns 300 mal comptats) diuen que volen que la Generalitat faci el boicot a Israel en temes d'investigació i recerca. Aquests 300 no fan res més que reproduir campanyes que alguns "antisionistes" fan a altres països.
La comunitat universitària solvent ja s'ha pronunciat en contra de fer cap tipus de boicot.
Per contrarestar aquests boicotejadors, està funcionant una associació, "Scholars For Peace in Middle East" (www.spme.net), que aplega professors d'arreu del món que han signat el següent manifest (de moment ja en són 19.000):

To: To Academic and Professional Colleagues From Around The World

"We are academics, scholars, researchers and professionals of differing religious and political perspectives. We all agree that singling out Israelis for an academic boycott is wrong. To show our solidarity with our Israeli academics in this matter, we, the undersigned, hereby declare ourselves to be Israeli academics for purposes of any academic boycott. We will regard ourselves as Israeli academics and decline to participate in any activity from which Israeli academics are excluded. " *

* May, 28, 2008... Statement Originally Composed June 4, 2007. Alan Dershowitz, Harvard University School of Law, Steven Weinberg, Nobel Prize Laureate, University of Texas, and Edward S. Beck, Walden University, President, Scholars for Peace in the Middle East
