"for evil to triumph it is only necessary for good men to do nothing"

American Thinker: Boycotting Decency:
I try to keep up on events in my homeland England and also in Europe - this article makes it clear that these are places I could no longer live ...

"the British college teachers union just voted to boycott Israel's universities and colleges.

Why would England, home of the 'Mother of Parliaments,' support the destruction of a small and besieged country that has managed to maintain the only true democracy in the most treacherous neighborhood in the world? Why would professors and teachers, who are presumably dedicated to free speech and thought, be opposed to the free exchange of information with such a democracy?

Ten years ago Europe was appalled over ethnic cleansing in the Balkans. Today the British vote to open the door to ethnic cleansing in Israel. "

It has always surprised me that college professors are blind to the fact that their lifestyle is supported by the freedoms they so often attack. Apparently, they've learned nothing from the history they dispense and equate life under Pol Pot as equivalent to, or better than, life under Churchill or Reagan.

"The boycott move shows the powerful return of the anti-democratic Left in Britain, very similar to the Stalinist Left that did so much damage to Britain and the West in the 20th century. It also shows the new power in British academic institutions of Islamic fascists. A major fact is that the same UCU board that voted to deligitimize Israel also voted to block police inquiries about Islamist recruiting on university campuses. The message is clear. The academic Left will protect Islamofascists on campus."

Simple self survival ought to discourage the growth of fascism & terrorism in our midst, but apparently the allure of Political Correctness is more powerful than the realities of their own lives.

"Viciously slandering Israel and of course the United States has become socially acceptable in Europe today, and Britain is no exception. Both of those hatreds are very selective: no such superhuman standards of moral conduct are applied to Saudi Arabia, the Sudan, or Zimbabwe, or France for that matter. Politically Correct intimidation governs British society, which is as frightening in its own way as Cromwell's witch-hunts four centuries ago. The spirit of the witch-hunt is alive today, and Britain's academics, and for that matter Britain's Jews, seem to be frozen in fear. Given the dark history of Europe this is another throwback to a mad past."

Perhaps Dark Ages & Inquisitions are part of the natural cycle of life in Europe - I will attempt to live where I'm a member of the audience, not a a participant.
