A week ago a story broke - RMS would not be talking at Israeli universities while in Israel, since the sponsors of his visit in the West Bank (soon to be a democratic Palestine inshallah) are adamant about this boycott. The odd thing is that the University of Haifa is the Alma Mater of many Arabs, some told me that maybe most of the students currently enrolled are non-Jews. It’s also a pretty petty demand that he is allowed to speak in Israel but not in a university building. It made absolutely no sense to me.
