    • Abstract:
      The article discusses an international campaign for a boycott of Israeli artists, musicians, teachers, thinkers, writers, and researchers called as "Academic Intifada." Two years prior, it proposed that the British Association of University Teachers (AUT) should blacklist colleagues who worked for Israeli universities. The boycott was rejected by the AUT. Topics include the Palestine Solidarity Movement, Zionism, and the suggestion that opposition to Jewish nationalism is anti-Semitic.
