1. Irish academic trade union votes to exclude Israelis [i.e. Jews living in the Holy Land] from campuses in Ireland

The Teachers Union of Ireland has voted to boycott all academic
collaboration with Israel, including research programmes and exchange of
scientists.
A motion, calling for all members of the union to end work with Israeli
counterparts, was passed unanimously at the TUI annual conference in Galway
on Thursday.
The union called on the Irish Congress of Trade Unions to increase its
campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions against 'the apartheid
state of Israel until it lifts its illegal siege of Gaza and its illegal
occupation of the West Bank'.
The passed motion requests TUI members to 'cease all cultural and academic
collaboration with Israel, including the exchange of scientists, students
and academic personalities, as well as all cooperation in research
programmes'.

Stan Nadel Comments:
The motion doesn't bother to maintain the fiction of the 'institutional
boycott'. This is a boycott of scholars and students on the basis of
their nationality. This is a boycott of a significant proportion of the
world's Jewish academics and students for reasons which are nothing to do
with anything that those academics have said or done. Nobody but Israelis
are to be boycotted.

In Norway still more questions:Norwegian Foreign Minister now admits PA has
special support program for prisoners, including terrorists, in Israel
Norwegian Parliamentary Committee Head now wants to know:
When did the Foreign Ministry learn that "this program
(i.e., payments to prisoners including terrorists) was different from what
they had previously informed Parliament?"
http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&doc_id=8723
Recently, Palestinian Media Watch reported that Norway's Foreign Minister,
Espen Barth Eide, admitted that the Foreign Ministry had given Parliament
"imprecise" information "obtained from the PA" and from PM Salam Fayyad,
denying the PA's use of donor money to pay salaries to security prisoners
imprisoned in Israel, among them terrorists.
PMW exposed these salary payments for the first time in 2011, but Norway's
Foreign Minister had told Parliament that these payments were social welfare
to the families, based on the false information supplied by the PA.
Norwegian Foreign Minister Eide added that they are still seeking more
clarifications from the PA regarding the possibility that donor money is
going to terrorists in prison:
Foreign Minister Eide stressed that he refused to accept responsibility for
the PA's payments to prisoners:
PMW notes that neither Norway nor the UK has indicated what measures they
will take if any following this false information supplied by the PA denying
it paid salaries to terrorists. No western donors permit the PA to use their
financial support for payments to terrorists.

incitement and UK's funding of the PA.

The following is the transcript of the report on Norwegian NRK TV:
Newsreader: "Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide is now involving
himself in the issue of the Palestinians who are convicted of terrorism and
who also receive large sums of money from the PA. Every year, Norway gives a
lot of money to the PA and according to Foreign Minister Eide the
[Norwegian] government was misinformed [by the PA] about this issue."
NRK TV reporter Tormod Strand: "Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide is now
trying to clarify the issue (exposed by PMW), which [NRK TV] Evening News
has brought up - the PA's financial support of Palestinian prisoners
convicted of terror. At first, the [Norwegian] Foreign Ministry denied that
such a program exists, but after carefully checking with Palestine, it all
looks somewhat different."

3. Irish Gardai [Police] want their [Israeli] Uzis back

Extracts:
The murder of a garda [policeman] during the robbery of a credit union in January has led to calls for gardai to have the Uzi submachine gun, Â previously withdrawn from service, Â immediately reissued to detectives.
Garda sergeants and inspectors voted to seek to have the weapon reinstated.
A member of the AGSI national executive claimed that the murder of detective Garda Adrian Donohoe might have been prevented if he had been armed with the weapon.
Detective Adrian Donohoe was shot dead during a robbery at a credit union in Bellurgan, near Dundalk, on January 25.
On Tuesday, delegates passed a motion calling on Commissioner Callinan to immediately re-issue the Israeli-made Uzi submachine gun to detectives. The weapon was carried by many detectives during the years of the Troubles.
The sergeants and inspectors agreed that the weapon acts as a deterrent because criminals and terrorists are afraid of it.
Comment:Â Rabbi Yehonatan Davidi says that it is not surprising that the the UZI is considered a deterrent. The Uzi submachine pistol carries a good size magazine, has a good rate of fire, and is designed both for area and pin-point shooting. It is also psychologically advantageous as when slung over the shoulder it does not entirely dominate its carrier but nevertheless is quite obviously available.
