☮ ☮ Time for BDS - Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions - to oppose Israeli war crimes By TFF Associate Jake Lynch I have spent the last year defending my right, through Australia’s Federal Court, not to take part in fellowship schemes that link the University of Sydney, where I direct the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, and two institutions from Israel. This week, Judge Alan Robertson dismissed the case against me and awarded costs. It will mark the termination of a complaint by an Israeli legal centre, Shurat HaDin, that boycotting such links amounts to a form of anti-semitism, and should therefore be ruled in breach of Australia’s Racial Discrimination Act.
