An Australian supporter of boycotting Israel is being sued for refusing to support a study application by an Israeli academic.

If Lynch's grounds for refusal were as stated, that the scholar was associated with a university with a campus in a colony in Palestinian territory, that was political, not racial. So I think the lawsuit is mistaken.

However, I criticize Lynch's decision to apply the boycott to an individual person. The American Studies Association, in adopting a boycott of Israeli academic institutions, emphasized that this was not aimed at Israeli scholars.

Everyone: demand that the World Bank stop financing land grabs in Kenya and elsewhere.

Everyone: tell General Mills to remove GMOs from all its cereals, not just from Cheerios.

The enormous US military aid to Israel includes bombs and planes used to attack civilians in Gaza.
