Teachers boycott Israeli academics

Irish teachers became the first in Europe to support the Palestinian call for an academic boycott of Israel on Thursday.

The Teachers Union of Ireland (TUI) branded Israel an "apartheid state" at its annual congress.

A motion - which passd unanimously - called on "all members to cease all cultural and academic collaboration with Israel, including the exchange of scientists, students and academic personalities, as well as all co-operation in research programmes."

The motion further called on the Irish Congress of Trade Unions to "step up its campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions against the apartheid state of Israel until it lifts its illegal siege of Gaza and its illegal occupation of the West Bank."

It urged the TUI to conduct an awareness campaign among members on the need for the boycott.

Mover Jim Roche said: "I am very pleased that this motion was passed with such support, especially coming the day after Israeli occupation forces killed two Palestinian teenagers in the West Bank.

"There is no question that Israel is implementing apartheid policies.

"Indeed, many veterans of the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa have said that it's worse than what was experienced there."

Mr Roche added: "Education has always been a target of the Israeli occupation, seeing forced closures of universities, disruption under checkpoint, closure and curfew regimes and arrests, beatings and killing of both students and teachers.

"We proposed this motion as we believe that, as with South Africa, the trade union movement has a vital role to play in helping apply pressure to end Israeli apartheid and occupation.

The TUI became the first European teachers' union to support an academic boycott. British lecturers' union UCU has a similar policy.

Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign member and co-founder of Academics for Palestine David Landy said: "We congratulate the TUI and call on all Irish, British and European academic unions to move similar motions."

BLOOD PASSOVER

At the dawn of civilization, the blood rite, in which human blood is drunk from the body of a still-living victim, was known to many tribes. However, only one people, that has never progressed beyond the Stone Age, has continued to practice the blood rite and ritual murder. This people are known to the world as Jews.

The author of this book is not Christian, Muslim or Hindu but a Jew and is the son of the Chief Rabbi of Rome, and a professor of Jewish Renaissance and Medieval History at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, just outside Tel Aviv.

The following translation was performed free of charge to protest an injustice: the destruction by the ADL of Ariel Toaff’s BLOOD PASSOVER on Jewish ritual murder.

They cut this Palestinian kid's arms for "throwing Stones" before murdering him

Repeat: The author is the son of the Chief Rabbi of Rome, and a professor of Jewish Renaissance and Medieval History at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, just outside Tel Aviv.

Dr. Toaff is uniquely qualified to write this book, being thoroughly familiar with the derivative literature in English, French, German and Italian, as well as the original documentary sources in Latin, Medieval Italian, Hebrew and Yiddish. This is not something he worked on in secret. On the contrary, he worked on it openly with his university students and colleagues in Israel for several years; one of his students was even going to publish a paper on the subject. The author is extremely careful about what he says, and his conclusions must be taken seriously. It reads like a detective story.

If it had been published in Israel, in Hebrew, no one would have cared. There are large bodies of literature in Hebrew that Jews do not wish Gentiles to know about. But Dr. Toaff’s announcement of its publication in Italy, in Italian, raised a worldwide firestorm of fury. Under unbearable pressure, the book was withdrawn from publication, and is not to be re-issued.

You can strike a blow against censorship by circulating this text by e-mail or posting in on the Internet. No one can sue hundreds of people.

If the text is all over the Internet, and everybody has it and everybody knows what is in it, the cat will be out of the bag, and it will have to be published – sooner or later.

Come in out of the darkness, and strike a blow for the light.
