Battlefield England, Part Five

Alan Dershowitz, as passionate a supoprter of Israel as there is on this planet, is not planning to take the proposed academic boycott of Israel lying down: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/56cb5b92-10a7-11dc-96d3-000b5df10621,dwp_uuid=34c8a8a6-2f7b-11da-8b51-00000e2511c8,print=yes.html. However, what I found fascinating (and troubling) was the last sentence in the article, because to me it is far more illustrative of the general attitude in academia and the media worldwide towards Israel. Still, it should give everyone an idea of how absurd and racist (yes, RACIST) this boycott is when even the Israel-hating New York Times condemns it: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/03/opinion/03sun3.html?_r=1&oref=slogin.
