BDS creates a toxic climate in which attacks of the nature that happened recently in Glasgow will become commonplace. End BDS.

A boycott didn't bring an end to apartheid in South Africa...

Both sides of an argument need to be heard...particularly in the Israel/PPalestine debate. This boycott is biased toward the Palestinians.

I'm signing this because it very evident if you scratch just below the surface that the BDS is primarily motivated by hatred of Israel not by any sense of actually wanting to really help Palestinians.

boycotts divide. The whole of university is freedom of expression. Why should those who want the choice to buy Israeli goods be stopped on an unrepresentative vote which most students didn't have a say in. Also the best solution for peace is for Israelis and Palestinians to work together, boycotts work against this as they are divisive.
