British Universities May Crack Down on Jews
Britain's Universities and Colleges Union is debating a measure that would ensure anti-Israel political orthodoxy among Jewish academics. The denizens of the Ivory Tower's ultra-left echo chamber are asked
to consider the moral and political implications of educational links with Israeli institutions, and to discuss the occupation with individuals and institutions concerned, including Israeli colleagues with whom they are collaborating… the testimonies will be used to promote a wide discussion by colleagues of the appropriateness of continued educational links with Israeli academic institutions… Ariel College, an explicitly colonising institution in the West Bank, be investigated under the formal Greylisting Procedure.
Some analysis from Melanie Phillips:
The implication is that, if they don't condemn Israel for the 'occupation', or practising 'apartheid', 'genocide' or any of the other manufactured crimes laid at Israel's door by the Palestinian/Islamist/neonazi/leftwing axis, they won't be able to work. Their continued employment will depend on their holding views which are permitted. The views they are being bludgeoned into expressing as a condition of their employment are based on lies, distortion, propaganda, gross historical ignorance, blood libels and prejudice. And this in the universities, supposedly the custodians of free thought and inquiry in the service of dispassionate scholarship.
What makes it all the more appalling is that it is Israelis and Jews alone who are being singled out for this treatment. No other group is to be barred from academic activity unless they hold 'approved' views; no state-run educational institution controlled by any of the world's numerous tyrannies is to be 'grey-listed'.
Yet Jewish voters will line up to vote for Hamas-endorsed Obama, out of loyalty to the same political Left that created National Socialism and continues to demand absolute conformity. Politics makes strange bedfellows, all right.
On a tip from V the K.

Airstrip One bans cluster bombs. The moonbats disarm the military, one weapons at a time.

Very disturbing. Well, last year, common sense prevailed when the British universities dumped that stupid boycott of Israeli universities. At least this time, they're a bit clearer and more honest about where they're headed with all this: barring Jews from working in academia. Not quite there yet, but it's easy to see where this is going.

I can hardly believe that this is true, but it is. It's just another nail in the coffin of Great Britain as we're railroaded into the EUSSR.
Give it 10 years and these islands will be an Islamic State taking orders from Brussels. And with no armed forces of our own left, there will be no way to reverse it.

Next step, banning Jewish teachers. Next, banning books by and about Jews. Next, Banning Jews. Next, assaults on Jews encouraged.
"The Final Solution": extermination.
What was it you liberals said about "diversity"?
PS: "Airstrip One bans cluster bombs".
What Liberals don't know (Or don't care about) is that "a cluster bomb" is just a bundle of bombs that breaks open to release it's ordinance, which can be shrapnel, anti-tank, or incenterary. Useing them in a "cluster" doesn't make them any more inhuman, it only spreads them out over a wide area.
What next? Banning shotguns because they can fire "cluster bullets"?
