Kenneth Stern on the UK boycott of Israeli universities

“Even if one is troubled by the idea that one could be invited or disinvited because of their politics, it’s very different than saying that someone should be barred because they’re Israeli,” said Kenneth Stern, the American Jewish Committee’s director on antisemitism and extremism. “One thing is an error of judgment,” he said, “and the other is tarring a whole society.”
I’m pretty sure it’s the criminal occupation of Palestine that is tarring Israeli society, not the boycott.
