Anti-Boycott Group Forms

A new organization of left-wing British academics has formed to fight the Association of University Teachers' recently adopted anti-Israel boycott. The group, called 'Engage', defines itself as follows:

1. Engage opposes the idea of an academic or cultural boycott of Israel.

2. Engage aims to encourage, facilitate and publicise positive links between Israeli, Palestinian, British and global academia. Engage is for closer engagement, not boycotts.

3. Engage stands up against antisemitism in our universities, in our unions and in our students unions.
