Protests Over Israeli Science Exhibits in London
21 February 2009 by Marc in Europe | PermalinkI always hate hearing this kind of thing. On one hand, I understand why people are upset; but on the other, the museums in London have nothing to do with the military science of Israel. It’s not lke the museums are displaying bombs or guns or anything.

Any legitimate sanctions against Israel would focus on their military. Why are anti-Israeli sanctions almost exclusively against academics and medical professionals?
Maybe it’s just easier to boycott academics and so on. Since you can’t look under your toys or kitchen items and see “made in Israel”, the most visible Israeli exports are their installments in museums and cultural institutions. There was a protest outside a theatre in Chicago over an Israeli ballet company. How could that possibly do any good? The only result I could see is that Israeli citizens who would normally be opposed to war (artists, academics and the like) are now pissed off because their non-violent activities got ruined.
