Ah…. now I see why OPEC are ratcheting up the price of oil. Works wonderfully. Brings the west to it’s knees and the profits gained pay for the undermining of the West’s culture. Brilliant strategy don’t you think?

There was a stir a week or so back at UC Irvine when Daniel Pipes tried to give a speech.

Some Muslim protestors talking about “wiping Israel off of the map” and the like.

Nice.

“The UK university scene is now openly hostile to Israel (and the US)”

You need to take this one step further and add “The United States university scene is also openly hostile to Israel (and the US)”. The denizens of the American academic scene are merely more subtle. They generally limit their complaints to those so-called evil neo-cons and our country’s aggressive empire building.

Abe

The UK university scene is now openly hostile to Israel (and the US) - have you been following the university academics attempts to boycott Israel (and Israel only) for the last 12+ months? Were it not for the folks over at Engage etc who have been fighting this you would effectively have British academic treating Israel the same as they did apartheid South Africa.

The Saudi money will only go to further that effort and let me suggest, if it gets up, then watch most European universities follow suit.

Another interesting parallel is in Australia where you have a certain university which offered to keep secret certain points of the deal made with Saudis if they got the money….
