USA - ADL: latest call for academic boycott of Israel a 'cynical and perverse violation'

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) denounced a vote by Britain's main academic union to reintroduce a call to boycott Israeli academic institutions, calling it "a cynical and perverse violation of academic freedom and anti-discrimination principles."

Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement:

“This reintroduction of the call for an academic boycott of Israel by the UCU is a cynical and perverse violation of academic freedom and anti-discrimination principles. Four years after the first such academic boycott resolution, it is clear the UCU's anti-Israel activists remain as determined as ever to demonize everything and everyone Israeli, while shunning constructive measures to promote Israeli-Palestinian academic partnerships”
