Israel has been at war with the entire muslim world for at least 2,000 years, you would think they might say , hmmmm I guess war is not the answer to our little problem ...Earth has had enough war... Good for Mr. Hawking , peace is the only path to freedom for everyone ...

The same Guardian article has this interesting tit-bit:
In 2011, the Israeli parliament passed a law making a boycott call by an individual or organisation a civil offence which can result in compensation liable to be paid regardless of actual damage caused. It defined a boycott as "deliberately avoiding economic, cultural or academic ties with another person or another factor only because of his ties with the State of Israel, one of its institutions or an area under its control, in such a way that may cause economic, cultural or academic damage".

With Jewish bankers controlling world fiscal policies, food and mineral supply, intellectual property and crippling Nations with austerity demands, to name but a few, it is hardly surprising that Israel and Israelis now penalise non participation of their evil deeds and refusing to endorse their lies. This makes it very difficult to support those Isaelis who genuinely want to change this paradigm of hatred for Gentiles (non Jews) that this law espouses.

Surely this law must be challenged at the highest levels of the United Nations but sadly that organisation is controlled by the same school of thought that produced this abomination of a law.
