Oh yeah, the intellectual elite of Great Britain at work again. Being an “academic” myself I often wondered how it could be that seemingly it is a prerequisite of belonging to the academic class to shed every ounce of common sense and to vehemently support anything even remotely anti-Israel, anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Western and anti-your-own-culture.
It is not only in Britain, though it seems the British academia tries hard to be in the limelight.

What these people obviously haven’t noticed yet is that outside of their little ivory towers less and less people take them seriously any more. There were times when you could be proud of telling people “I am an university professor.” Today, especially if your subject is in the humanities field, you better be ready to get this reaction: “Ah yeah? Too bad you never had a real job.”

However, since in the time it took me to write this comment two more qassam missiles might have hit Sderot in this so “one-sided” conflict, it is no laughing matter when British academics act so stupidly, therefore I am with lynne and say, let’s boycott them a while.
