Last month at the University of Leeds, a debate was held on the #boycott of #Israel. The specific motion read: This house believes that #UK academics should boycott Israeli academic institutions until Israel ends the occupation and abides by international law. Arguing for the motion were Jonathan Rosenhead and Sue Blackwell, both active members of British Committee for the Universities of Palestine (BRICUP).
