Boycott Israel

There is a major development in the movement among universities and colleges to boycott Israeli universities over objections to its treatment of the Palestinians. The influential American Studies Association on Monday endorsed the boycott with mover 3000 of its members voting and 66 percent supporting the action as a response what they view as a pattern of human rights violations by Israel. It is a major victory for academics pushing for cutting off ties to Israeli educations institutions.
What does Israeli propaganda DEBKAFile say? They are worried the Boycott is catching on and they are pretending there is a backlash. No, we're not linking.
The Academic Studies Association voted Sunday by a 66 percent majority to boycott Israeli academic and cultural institutions over their “treatment of Palestinians,” drawing a strong backlash.

Israel is most definitely committing acts of terror on the Palestinians and then acts as if they haven’t been doing anything. It is a great step that universities are stepping up to this inhumane reality even if the governments won’t. I need effective tips of writing an essay so I could write one for my term paper and make my professor make the same move of boycotting Israeli universities.
