It's not weird at all. The screwballs who participate in boycotts are 
not at all interested in details, but are grabbed by buzzwords, e.g. 
"Israel". Since they themselves are students or faculty in universities, 
it occurs to them to boycott other universities, never considering that 
universities are precisely where they are most likely to find their 
soul-mates. It's all completely logical. Compare, for example with the 
British situaation, where calls for boycott originate almost exclusively 
in the universities and labor unions, i.e., in all the strongholds of 
the left. Left = Gauche in French, Sinister in Latin. There is probably 
a language somewhere in which Left = Stupid.
