photonics.com: NAS Council Opposes Academic Boycotts

A boycott of Israeli academics announced yesterday by Britain’s largest faculty union would undermine the crucial long-term goal of building strong bridges of understanding between cultures.” (For a 2005 NAS Council statement, “International Cooperation in Science,” visit: http://www.nationalacademies.org/morenews/20060530.html)
