A motion by the largest trade union for academics (pointy headed liberals) and academic-related staff (nerds) in higher education in the UK, the University and College Union (UCU) has passed without debate, (no discussion which might be used against them later) asking members:

"to consider the moral and political implications of educational links with Israeli institutions, and to discuss the occupation with individuals and institutions concerned, including Israeli colleagues with whom they are collaborating."

The objective being to support the fallacious palestinians and put Israel in it's place (the Mediterranean Sea)


There isn't total agreement on the issue though, some within the union rank and file are bitterly opposed to any such vetting of an Israeli academics politics prior to collaborating on any projects.

"If Jewish and Israeli academics support the UCU's view of the conflict, (that would be academic speak for self flagellation)they will be protected from further action; if they are against it or noncommittal, then they may be considered unsuitable for continued association," said Ronnie Fraser, UCU member and director of Academic Friends of Israel.

"It beggars belief that such a blatant 'McCarthyite' demand - which clearly is discriminatory, anti-Semitic and in clear violation of the UK Race Relations act - is allowed to be published and debated by a union that prides itself on supporting academic freedom and according to its rules 'promotes equality for all' and actively opposes 'all forms of harassment, prejudice and unfair discrimination,'" he added.

This is the second time a boycott has been called for at The annual conference, the same call for a boycott was passed last year and despite advice from legal counsel calling the boycott unlawful, the motion was allowed no debate this year.

There is a campaign group within the union which was begun last year "Stop the Boycott" which is vehemently opposed to trade union boycott initiatives. That group had their lawyers send legal advice to Sally Hunt, UCU General Secretary and Linda Newman, UCU President regarding the legality of a motion to boycott Israeli academia. Offering  the UCU CYA legalese.

"It is not for UCU to comment on legal advice received by other organizations, especially since we have neither seen the instructions the advice responded to, nor do we know the context or purpose for which the advice was given. There is no call for a boycott; the motions to Congress call for a wider debate about what is happening over there, and members will initiate that debate, as is their right, at congress," Hunt said.

According to Fraser though,

the UCU has become institutionally racist by creating a discriminatory atmosphere on campus towards Jewish academics,

Or Anti-Semites, better by far for the UCU to enjoin in an Anti-Dentite motion, no one in Englnad goes to the dentist anyway.

Within the UCU are many Jewish academics though and the effect of the motion is unclear if those who are Jewish must adhere to the boycott or if they must pass a litmus test to maintain membership in the union.

Another Stop the Boycott co-chair, Jeremy Newmark, said that "UCU has again demonstrated how out of touch it is with the vast majority of its membership and with the wider academic community. This motion does nothing to help the Palestinians."

He added that "trade unions exist to defend their members in the workplace. Our legal opinion, produced at the request of UCU members, shows that this motion promotes discrimination. It runs counter to all that a trade union should stand for, discriminating against some of its members instead of defending all of them."

Since 2004, academic trade unions have been subjected to calls for a boycott of Israeli academia by a minority but active section of the far-Left within the unions.

• "There are prejudiced pictures about the greatest and purest divine book, our Great Quran, in a new (actually the series only ran until 2007 and has been cancelled - told you the moozies are the slow kids siiting the back of the class) cartoon series called 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure' . . . what is the purpose of putting in these pictures?" a well-circulated Net message asks.
• Qannas al-Jazira, one of the most active members of Al-Hesbah, a major Islamic Web site used as a clearing house for Islamic militants' statements, wrote: "There is a wicked man in a cartoon series called 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure' and this villain appears in a clip while reading the Holy Quran . . . even the Japanese began to depict Muslims as evil persons and terrorists in their cartoon films."

No Shiite? World Trade Center 1993, Beriut, the African Embassies, 9/11/01.... And they wonder why they get type cast?

• Sheikh Abdul Hamid Attrash, chairman of the Fatwa (religious edict) Committee (who do we kill next week council) at Al-Azhar, the highest Sunni authority, based in Cairo, called the cartoon an insult to Islam.
• "This scene depicts Muslims as terrorists, which is not true at all," (see above) he said. "This is an insult to the religion, (no, it;s the truth about your raghead silliness)  and the producers would be considered to be enemies of Islam." (enemies?)

   

  Dang, and just when I thought it was going to be safe to go on vacation in Sadr City this summer.

Aly Yassin, owner of a Cairo Internet cafe, said he believes the object of the Japanese producers was to say: "This evil character derives its subversive ideas from this book, the Holy Quran. . .(like when Moe tells the moozlums to convert, kill or subjugate all infidels?) . This indicates the deep-rooted rancor (rancor? no, not even, just a deep seated hatred of being killed by a 7th century throwback) against Islam and the misconceptions (the lies told by moozlums?) about Quran meanings. This is unjustifiable." (try Websters dictionary moron)

• Klaus, an economist, said he opposed the "climate alarmism" perpetuated by environmentalism trying to impose their ideals, comparing it to the decades of communist rule he experienced growing up in Soviet-dominated Czechoslovakia.

 

• "Like their (communist) predecessors, they will be certain that they have the right to sacrifice man and his freedom to make their idea reality," he said.

• Blue Planet in Green Shackles - What Is Endangered: Climate or Freedom?

The answer is of course Freedom and the ability of the world to contiue on a course of progress. The Libtard Regressives hate the idea of progress for some fundamental reason which none of them are able or willing to explain. No explanation beyond the meaningless "It doesn't feel right" The Libtard Guilt Pangs tell them to find a way, any way, to make not themselves, but everyone else as uncomfortable as possible. Making sure the Third World nations don't get the food or fuel they need to progress. All the while maintaining the Libtard standard of living at the highest possible level, like Al Gorealioni the Enviro-Mobster

• "It could be even true that we are now at a stage where mere facts, reason and truths are powerless in the face of the global warming propaganda," he said. (as the former Communist masters of the Iron Curtain maintained control over the vassal states)

 

• Klaus alleged that the global warming was being championed by scientists and other environmentalists whose careers and funding requires selling the public on global warming.

 

• "It is in the hands of climatologists and other related scientists who are highly motivated to look in one direction only," Klaus said.
