Prof. Jeremy Green, Kings College London: On Peaceful Israeli/Palestinian Academic Cooperation

I just wanted to draw to your attention a nice example of how Israeli academics try to foster peaceful solutions. In a News article in the journal Nature (vol. 452, p. 787 (2008) | doi:10.1038/452787a), it was reported that there is now a draft agreement for the disposition and investigation of archaeological artefacts found in West Bank territories. This is the kind of specific evidence that should be presented to the UK’s UCU to show that Israeli academics are the last people who should be boycotted.
