UCU Boycott of Israel - Take 2

Great Britain the nation that gave the world the Magna Carta, Chancer, Shakespeare, Shelley, and Winston Churchill is now the center the center of Multiculturalism and Political Correctness. The latest round of this craziness has resurfaced its head.

No it is not the recent official harassment of Lionheart. Nor is it the placing the rights of minorities above those of the majority.

It is the second try of the anti-Israeli, anti-Semitic University and College Union.


The University and College Union, the largest trade union for academics and academic-related staff in further education in the UK, voted on a motion at their annual conference in Manchester on Wednesday that will reintroduce an academic boycott of Israel.

The motion passed without debate and by a show of hands and asks members "to consider the moral and political implications of educational links with Israeli institutions, and to discuss the occupation with individuals and institutions concerned, including Israeli colleagues with whom they are collaborating."

Again they will try and get this passed. This time they didn't allow discussion or debate of the issue.

But then one cannot but remember that Great Britain is no longer a free nation. It is a nation where anti-Semitism is an open policy by the government. A nation where Jews are attacked and Synagogues are vandalized with impunity. The police will give lip service to the Jewish community while encouraging the very criminals to repeat the crimes. Civil rights laws apply only to Muslims and to no other people.

The last time this body of bigots got together to do this, the US academic community made it clear that a boycott of this kind would result in a boycott of British academics in kind. And that worked. The rank and file of the UCU voted against a boycott. But they didn't go far enough. They didn't get rid of the ultra-leftist that have hijacked their union. These bigots are still in their positions of power. And it is now time for Take 2.

"This motion in effect gives license to harassment and discrimination within academic institutions - the very thing the UCU is supposed to protect its members from," said Lorna Fitzsimons, co-chair of the campaign group. "As a trade unionist myself, I find it astounding that the union is prepared to contradict its founding principles of protection in the workplace. Ferocious and free debate is of course vital within all aspects of society - but only if there is no threat attached to individuals."

The UCU's own legal advice on the matter says that a boycott would be illegal. But that doesn't matter to bigots. They will push this onto their members whether it is legal or not, whether the members want it or not. The UCU is no longer a viable union. It is a hotbed of Communist, Anti-Semitic, Left-Wing zealots who have an agenda they want to implement.

Before we just blame the UCU, we must look at academia in general. What was once a domain of education and learning has become a stronghold of left-wing indoctrination. The situation with UCU is also here in the US at places like University of California at Irvine. UCI has become a hotbed of anti-Israel, anti-Semitic activity in the tradition of UCU and now it seems British Universities.

If this rally for a boycott succeeds, then any semblance of racial equality in Great Britain will go out the window. And we will see calls for similar boycotts coming out of the Universities and Colleges of America.
