Haaretz.com: Israeli, U.K. academics meet to discuss proposed academic boycott

Two very different groups of academics met at the University of Brighton on Wednesday. On one side of the table were five local representatives of Britain’s University and College Union, the sponsors of a resolution proposing an academic boycott of Israel. On the other were four Israeli academics who came to Britain to fight the proposal. They only managed to agree on one issue: Their argument should be conducted politely.
