Interesting. I don't doubt that's why the mullahs don't dare to call people into the streets in anti-Israel demos for fear they might lose control. On the other hand, I see that Iran's UN ambassador just spoke out strongly in NY and called for an "all-out boycott" of Israel. On that topic, I stirred up some shit yesterday in my faculty union at the University of Vermont by putting forward the proposal -- I'd been thinking about this for some time and this seemed like the perfect moment -- for our union to get behind the boycott/divestment campaign against Israel. UVM had a major and ultimately successful struggle over divestment against apartheid South Africa back in the 1980s. Now the emails are going back fast and furiously. I haven't been accused of "anti-Semitism" yet but it's probably coming. So I was wondering if anybody else on this List has had any personal experience with these kinds of campaigns. I see that UCBerkeley and Evergreen College (home of Rachel Corrie) have done it.
