“A new Israeli report warns that the academic boycott of the country’s universities has become so extensive that the damage could be ‘irreversible.’ — It’s as if the world has closed itself off to me, says researcher Moran Zaga.”

Yes, Moran, it’s what happens when you’re committing genocide. There’s an easy fix: stop committing genocide.

Under andre verdenskrig var det ingen vesentlig motstandsbevegelse innad Tyskland - med unntak av hvisking og tisking i Tyske universitet. Den hviskingen ble eventuelt om til baksnakking, og eventuelt om til skrik.

Good to hear the boycott is working.

Indeed, boycotts generally work. We only have the word boycott in the English language because the ostracism campaign against absentee landlords (represented by Captain Boycott) organised by the Irish Land Leagues in 1880 worked so well.

this is what happened to South Africa in the 70s and 80s (I remember the campaigning). Total isolation until the whole thing became untenable. Unfortunately, here we are dealing with zealots in the true sense of the word.
