Scholars’ Group Endorses an Academic Boycott of Israel

The New York Times reports:
An association of American professors with almost 5,000 members has voted to endorse an academic boycott of Israeli colleges and universities, the group announced Monday, making it the largest academic group in the United States to back a growing movement to isolate Israel over its treatment of Palestinians.
There's more:
The American Studies Association has never before called for an academic boycott of any nation’s universities, said Curtis Marez, the group’s president and an associate professor of ethnic studies at the University of California, San Diego. He did not dispute that many nations, including many of Israel’s neighbors, are generally judged to have human rights records that are worse than Israel’s, or comparable, but he said, “one has to start somewhere.”
Cuba , Saudi Arabia, Egypt, North Korea ,and Saudi Arabia are held in higher regard than Israel according to these tenured Marxists! You can bet your last dollar Curtis Marez will not be calling for a boycott of Saudi Arabia anytime soon. What better proof than this that Jew hating is live and well in American universities?
