Fania Oz-Salzberger responde a Naomi Klein en The Guardian, que defendió un boicot contra Israel para acabar con su política beligerante. Independientemente de la postura que uno tenga sobre la incursión en Gaza, el boicot no parece una buena idea y Oz-Salzberger explica muy bien por qué.
Go ahead and boycott the universities – Haifa and Bar Ilan have already had a taste of the medicine – that accept Jewish, Christian and Muslim students on an equal basis. Boycott the thousands of young Israeli Palestinians, men and women, getting their degrees in law and science, arts and medicine. Boycott the ever-growing number of Arab faculty members, including heads of departments, deans, and Haifa's first Arab vice-president of an Israeli university. Boycott dozens of Muslim judges, and the first permanent supreme court justice who is a Christian Arab. Don't forget the physicists and biochemists in the Weizmann Institute and the Technion, where Arab postdocs excel, some in traditional headgear, regardless of their supervisors' political view. (...)
While you are at it, boycott the Jerusalem Museum of Islamic Art, that has been celebrating Islam's cultural treasures for decades, and has just opened its new exhibit titled Correspondence with 13 Arab artists openly and painfully examining our current realities. Boycott hundreds of Arab-Jewish dialogue groups operating on all levels, from the national to the local neighborhood. Boycott the civil rights organisations, the multicultural art galleries, the educational programmes, and the few but multiplying Arab-Jewish schools.
