Watched with dismay and horror: Good luck in your efforts to save the Jews and Israel from themselves.
Yale Divestment News: "26 February, 2003 Dear Yale Divest from Israel Campaign,

I do not have time to formulate a well-motivated letter to send to the editors of the Yale Alumni Magazine (where I read about you), but I would like to offer my support for your efforts. As an American national resident in Israel since 1969 I have watched with dismay and horror the aggressive behavior of the Israeli government in the occupied Palestinian lands for over 30 years. I fear that Israel will probably only end its illegal occupation-cum-annexation by strong international economic pressure. This is because of the strong support Israel enjoys from America, which has an agenda for the Middle East which in itself is a horrific menace to world peace and prosperity (as I fear we shall soon witness). A boycott undeniably contributed to the demise of apartheid in south Africa and can do wonders in Israel too, given the despair of most Israelis (regardless of political preferences) at present and realization that their country is on the wrong track and that their politicians are all enslaved by the settler lobbies and their American supporters. I favor the boycott even though I would be one of its immediate victims. Good luck in your efforts to save the Jews and Israel from themselves.

Yours sincerely,

Prof. Paul Wexler
