Ken Livingstone opposes academic boycott

ken_and_siggy2_webLast night at a meeting organised by the Movement for Reform Judaism, held at the Sternberg Centre in North London, Ken Livingstone confirmed his opposition to the academic boycott of Israel being considered at the University and College Union's annual conference today. He said that such a move would undermine efforts to restart the peace process. He said now is not the time for boycotts. Boycotts should only be used as a last resort - when there is no other alternative, such as was the case with South Africa but is not the case here.
