Companies doing business with Israel (ie, all of them)

[spring-peeper]

This seems like the best thread to attach this to.

The Ontario arm of the Canadian Union of Public Employees announced yesterday it would propose, in a meeting next month, "a ban on Israeli academics doing speaking, teaching or research work at Ontario universities," if they do not explicitly condemn Israeli action in Gaza.

The proposal comes specifically after a Dec. 29 attack on an Islamic university in Gaza, which Israel claimed was affiliated with Hamas.

"Attacking an institution of learning is just beyond the pale," CUPE Ontario president Sid Ryan said last night. "They deliberately targeted an institution of learning. That's what the Nazis did."

CUPE Ontario, which has about 20,000 members in Ontario's universities, in 2006 passed a notorious resolution supporting boycotts of Israeli goods, sparking a firestorm of debate.

Mr. Ryan said of CUPE's latest proposal: " I will admit already I've gotten a whole host of angry voicemails. ... I've been threatened before, so bring it on."

He said the move wouldn't apply to Israeli-born Canadian academics, but only visiting scholars.
