Would you find it to be acceptable for the Palestinians to use ABC<br>
(atomic/biological/chemical) weapons to fight the Israeli occupation<br>
"because they are too weak to fight using conventional means"?<br>
Academic boycott is as illegitimate (even if it does not immediately<br>

The Israeli universities are strongly related to the Israeli government and are funded by the Israeli government. They are also related to the Israeli military. When people want to express their opinions against the Israeli occupation, one of the ways to do it is boycott Israeli universities. But I understand that Richard Stallman is not completely boycotting Israel, only universities. Therefore his views are not extreme against Israel but only against Israeli occupation. By boycotting the Israeli universities he expresses his views against the Israeli occupation.</div>
