boycott of Israel on college campuses
Headline: "An open letter to the NUS"
Today I don’t recognise the NUS (National Union of Students, a UK university student organization) that I was a part of… I call on the Chair and Exec of the NUS to reconsider this motion without delay… Whatever the politics of the NUS, it is completely irresponsible to publicly denounce the one Jewish country, at the expense of every Jewish student in the UK. There have already been alarming anti-Semitic incidents on UK campuses. This motion only encourages the element that is incapable of separating hate for Israel from the Jewish people in general. We have seen this over and over again…
The many enemies of Israel feed on propaganda and incitement and you are simply aiding their cause...
Perhaps you as NUS have not had access to some of this information. I suggest you check out Palestinian Media Watch online, to give you an idea of what might be appropriate when making choices about who, and what, to boycott. The leaders of a society daily slandering Jews as “monkeys and pigs”, and calling their little ones to martyr themselves and “spill Jewish blood”, do not need the encouragement of the NUS.
