Re: Boycott of Israeli academe backed by UK union.
So every university in the world must be open to every student who ever wants to attend? Otherwise it's bias?
Israel has not barred palestinians - they have barred a resident of gaza. Israeli universities are filled with palestinians - who are Israeli citizens..

Your/Zionist supposed paranoia is not an adequate reason for denying Palestinians access to educational institutions, let alone denying them access to parts of their own country. Rather, the 'fear' of these students is an excuse for further apartheid and disruption . Thus the call for a boycott.
Some might say that barring Israeli students from the world's* universities is a disproportionate response to Israelis barring Palestinians from their universities. It seems a perfectly balanced response to me.
* The discussion centres on the UK, but you gotta start somewhere.
