More on AUT
I always thought that bigots came from the uneducated, easily led segments of society and that prejudice against certain groups of people was a sign of ignorance. The "scholarly" members of the British AUT (minus the ones who have enough sense to repudiate the organization) prove me wrong. Here's a great
piece on the AUT boycott of Israeli universities.

Some AUT members aren't stupid
Some AUT members are
against the obviously antisemitic boycott of Israeli universities. This is a heartening sign. I take back what I said in my previous post. The organization is not supporting the evils of terrorism and fascism, only some of their less-than-scholarly members support these evils.

Stupidity = Association of University Teachers
Melanie Phillips analyzes the situation and motivation of the latest anti-semitic resolution from the British Association of University Teachers. It's well worth reading.
And
here are some of the medical innovations from Israel. So AUT members might want to avoid these life saving medical discoveries. This is only one area Israel has made contributions in. And from the Palestinians that the AUT supports we get . . .what? I don't even have to say it, do I?
