"Noting that the criminal acts of the Israeli army resulted
from the policy of the U.S. imperialists for gratifying their

aggressive policy through [>] its satellite forces like Israel."

"Not one of the nearly 450 presidents of American colleges
and universities who prominently denounced an effort by Bri-
tish academics to boycott Israeli universities in September
2007 have raised their voice in opposition to Israel's bom-
bardment of the Islamic University of Gaza"
`
The Superpower instigated Puppet-israel to claim the Univer-
sity was an R&D center for Gazan troops.
`
"it is common knowledge that practically all major American
and Israeli universities are engaged in research and develop-
ment of military applications and receive money from the
Pentagon and defense corporations.
`
Weapon development and even manufacturing have, unfortunately,
become major projects at universities worldwide --a fact that
does not justify bombing them."
