The author reflects on the comment by Mohammed Abed, a university professor, about her article "Against Academic Boycotts." She argues that Abed's support on academic boycotts particularly on ostracizing Israeli academic institutions could contribute to the number of injustices to individual academics. She suggests that she backs Abed's proposal to foster dialogue in solving academic issues, but stresses that boycotts only hinders the efforts to prevent academics involved in illegal practices.
