However, it would have been really nice if PM Brown had also emphatically said that he would oppose in every instance, efforts by UK educators to boycott Israel and Israeli academics. It would have even been nicer had PM Brown branded such boycott efforts as anti-Semitic.<BR/> <BR/>What I see here is yet another effort to push Israel toward more concessions to the Arabs. In return, PM Brown threw in a few crumbs toward Israel without substantive guarantees that the crumbs will survive the anti-Semitic wrath of the UK academic community. <BR/> <BR/>I mean: If PM Brown was going to parade UK-Israeli academic exchanges, he really needed to address the anti-Israel academic boycott in his country.
