’’Israel’’ Faces Academic Boycott

Within a few days, several hundred academics from various countries had signed it. From there, the campaign morphed in many directions.
 
Expressing depression with the consequences of the campaign, "Ynet" reported that most "Israeli" universities have failed to properly share the burden of the anti-boycott battle.
 
"This has left the fight to individual academics and grassroots organizations," the
daily added.

Reporting that "legal actions are becoming tools in the fight against the de-legitimization of "Israel", the paper points out that "this approach is now being tested in three countries where the problems are greatest: the United States, Canada and the UK."

Meanwhile, the so-called "Israel" Law Center wrote to 150 American college and university presidents - including those of Ivy League schools - warning them that they may be liable for huge damages if they do not prevent what the paper viewed as "anti-Semitism on their campuses."

The letter also claimed that "universities have a legal obligation to avoid the use of university funds for unlawful activities directed against "Israel"."
