NATFHE BOYCOTT CANCELED:

Academic boycott of Israel cancelled
By TALYA HALKIN (Jerusalem Post)

The boycott of Israeli academics approved last month by members of NATFHE (National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education), Britain's largest academic trade union, expired on Sunday, following the union's merger with the AUT (Association of University Teachers), Britain's second academic trade union, into a new union called the UCU.

On May 29, NAFHE members voted to boycott Israeli lecturers and academic institutions that do not publicly declare their opposition to Israeli policy in the territories. The following day, the AUT announced that it did not endorse the NATFHE resolution and advised its members not to implement it.

In an official statement on its site, the AUT warned that "This tactic is fraught with difficulties and dangers and should not be followed by AUT members."

No kidding. Nevertheless, the anti-Israel ideologues got to make their pathetic little statement and they didn't care how much damage they did to the reputation of the union. Good riddance for now, but I'm sure we haven't seen the last of them. That's okay. They haven't seen the last of us either.
