Read!Read! Knowledge,of EVERYTHING,is a powerful tool to create fair understanding,empathy,unity and a healthy road to PROGRESS.
That's why European,AND NOW USA professors/academics are seeking a boycott,"cut ties" of academic relations with Israel,while it initiates these constant, terrible,racist,bigotted crimes upon its neighbours,and those FURTHER afield with the INTRUSIVE military 'assistance' of the USA.

And I would call that fair.
If Israel is SO KEEN to kill and maim human beings,and reduce to RUBBLE,ALL educational/academic/science/technology centers of OTHER cultures,faiths and nationalities,to keep them inaccessible to EVERYTHING THEY ARE ENTITLED TO HAVE,then:
Why should Israel be able to exchange academic privelege to TELL EVERYONE to remember the nazi holocaust,and the "suffering" of the Jewry etc etc,going back historically,WHEN ITS OWN PRESENT day actions(of OVER sixty years),appear to SUPPORT the methods and policies of the Nazis/Fascists?
Why should OUR children/students be taught to sympathise with NEW NAZIS?
Academically speaking:
"don't try to keep pushing the Nazi holocaust etc down our,or our childrens throats,and expect ABSOLUTE unconditional sympathy(and therefore license to kill)whilst Israel is DOING THE VERY SAME THINGS right now to others".
What's good for the goose,HAS TO BE,good for the gander,otherwise we cede that DOUBLE-STANDARDS and hypocrisy be the norm.
What Israel has been doing to its own neighbours(Palestine/Lebanon) for SIXTY YEARS ++ already(and OBVIOUSLY is,very STUPIDLY,seeking to inflict upon Iran soon)
is NO DIFFERENT to what the Taliban would INFLICT upon the people/students of Afghanistan.
Suppression,oppression,regression and theft of HUMAN FREEDOMS taking them back THOUSANDS of years to SUIT their own selfish ENDS.
Not by FAIR MEANS.
Just FOUL!
Peace,Salaam,Shalom.
