Más de antisemitismo académico del que hablaba ayer. Hoy leo este artículo en Recortes. Muy interesante, cómo podemos distinguir la critica válida al único estado judío del mundo del antisemitismo:

Natan Sharansky, the former Soviet dissident and Israeli ex-minister, has devised a "3-D test." The first "D" is demonization. In earlier times, Jews were vilified as "Christ killers." Today's equivalent is the charge that Israelis act like Nazis. Calling Israel an apartheid state is this lie's twisted little brother. Demonization leads to the second "D," delegitimization. Just as Judaism was once deemed illegitimate, Israel is said to have no right to exist. And finally, there is a "D" for double standard. Even if all the inflated and imagined charges against Israel were true, why is it singled out? Why are there no boycott calls to stop China's occupation of Tibet, Russia's scorched earth policy in Chechnya or Sudan's genocide campaigns? The British resolution hits all three D's.

Anti-Semitism, along with anti-Americanism, is the glue that links the radical left with those who deserve its highest condemnation: misogynist, racist, illiberal theocrats from the Middle East. And so the academics' resolution condemns not only Israel but also the British government's "outrageous bias" against Hamas. The only thing that's outrageous here is what passes as intellectual discourse these days.

Canada's Largest Union Joins Israel Boycott

My contempt for the people and groups pushing this abhorrent boycott of Israel knows no bounds. The latest left-wing organization to join the chorus of hatred of Israel and delusional sympathy for terrorists is the Canadian Union of Public Employees, Canada’s largest union: CUPE in Ontario votes to boycott Israel.
