As I always said, the supporters of the academic boycott of Israel have zero interest in or understanding of the region. They care about what happens in Israel / Palestine just as much as the general American public cares about Benghazi. For the most part, academic limit themselves to voicing the “bad, mean, evil Israel” point of view in a half-hearted and listless way as a means of confirming their academic identity. The content of this position is of zero interest to them.
This completely impotent and blabby response to Jonathan Marks’ intelligent and detailed discussion of the boycott I linked to above proves the point even further.
What is this, the day when I keep being proven right about everything?

Yes, but I hope you’re not right about your futurist overmerchandized idiot-cracy of college studies…

I hope, too, but this is an unrealistic hope.

Academic boycotts of Israel seem especially idiotic since the academic community in Israel are strong critics of the government (any government in power at a given time)
Also, the Palestinians are going backwards on education at an alarming rate (with Hamas freaks wanting gender segregated schools).
