Boycott Undermined by Wave of Israel-UK Collaboration
[Jewish Chronicle-UK ] John Levy, the director of the Academic Study Group on Israel and the Middle East who is sending five working groups to Israel this year, said last week that the enthusiastic participation by British academics gave the lie to the belief that there was strong support for an academic boycott. Almost all the participants were first-time visitors to Israel, he said.
