*The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel has
gained rapid international support since Israeli troops stormed a Gaza-bound
flotilla of aid ships in May, killing nine activists. Israeli attention has
focused on the small number of activists, particularly in the country's
universities, who have openly supported an academic boycott of Israeli
institutions. A protest petition has been signed by 500 academics, including
two former education ministers, following recent comments by Israel's
education minister, Gideon Saar, that the government intends to take action
against the boycott's supporters.*
