Perfidious Albion Union of Academics Voting on Call for 'Intifada Until Victory'
[Hot Air] The union representing academics at the University of Oxford is calling an extraordinary general meeting on Thursday to debate a vote that expresses solidarity with Palestinian terrorists, the establishment of a "Socialist Federation of the Middle East," and "Intifada until victory."

Academia is trash. Complete and utter trash.

The union in question is the University and College Union, which represents 120,000 members in the UK. It has a long and glorious history of radical activism, and its members clearly do not represent the views of all academics in the UK. It’s membership skews to academics and university employees at the lower end of the prestige and income scale, but with 120,000 members it represents over 50% of academic staff in the UK.

#2 /\ The torture and slaughter of unarmed civilians. The incineration of infants? Justified?

Yes, that too !

#3 ...In 1933, the Oxford Union debated the following topic:

"RESOLVED: That this house will not fight for King and Country."

The resolution passed overwhelmingly, and Winston Churchill would insist for the rest of his life that Hitler and Mussolini pointed to that moment as proof that the UK would not fight.

History may not exactly repeat itself, my fellow 'Burgers...but it sure as hell rhymes.

#4 Yes,please do. Many of us have tired of the Kabuki. This fight is going to happen and the sooner the better - hence the constant delaying tactics by all those at war with civilization.

#5 One minute a statistics lesson. The next minute treat a "poll" as if it's up there with Planck's Constant.

#6 *Shrug* Remember the nasty little counterinsurgency campaign the UK had in that 'shitty little Palestine' that was briefly interrupted by WW2? I am sure that there are plenty of upper class Brits that are still mad at the Jews about that ...and the usual thinly veiled anti-Semitism, of course.
