Linguists Against Boycotts

[Stephen M. Wechsler]

Following up on Jonathan's comments, those interested in
strengthening rather than weakening opposition to the occupation
might be interested in a few links.

Gush Shalom, the self-described 'hardcore' of the Israeli
anti-occupation movement
(http://www.gush-shalom.org/english/intro.html ) has an ongoing
boycott of settlement products (n.b. a majority of Israelis oppose
the settlements):

If I understand correctly the EU also has a de facto boycott, in the
sense that settlement products are not accorded normal trade
preference.  In effect they consider territory outside the green line
to not be part of Israel:

Refusenik site (Israeli reservists who refuse to serve in the territories):

(check out the speech by linguist/refusenik Idan Landau.)

Int'l solidarity: http://www.refusersolidarity.net/

There are many, many Palestinian & Israeli peace and human rights
organizations that are asking the world for help, e.g.
http://www.lawsociety.org/ , among many others.  If you are concerned
about these issues then there are better actions than randomly
targeting Israeli academics simply for being Israeli.

sorry, i guess this isnt about HPSG.
