Dr Denis MacEoins letter to the Edinburgh University Students Association from April 2011, following their vote to boycott Israel because of its apartheid...To those members of EUSA who voted for this apartheid motion are absolutely clueless in matters concerning Israel, and they are, in all likelihood, the victims of extremely biased propaganda coming from the anti-Israel lobby…There is not and has never been a system of apartheid in Israel . That is not my opinion that is fact that can be tested against reality by anyone...For apartheid to exist there would have to be a situation that closely resembled how things were in South Africa under the apartheid regime. Unfortunately for those who believe this, a weekend in any part of Israel would be enough to show how ridiculous the claim is. That a body of university students actually fell for this and voted on it is a sad comment on the state of modern education. The most obvious focus for apartheid would be the countrys 20% Arab population. Under Israeli law, Arab Israelis have exactly the same rights as Jews or anyone else; Muslims have the same rights as Jews or Christians. Being anti-Israel is not in itself objectionable. But Im not talking about ordinary criticism of Israel. Im speaking of a hatred that permits itself no boundaries in the lies and myths it pours out. thejc/news/uk-news/55250/dr-denis-maceoins-letter-edinburgh-university-students-association
