Some Jewish students who support Israel have experienced intimidation on UK campuses. They too are entitled to academic freedom. They expect academics to behave in a balanced, temperate fashion and have a right to be protected.

I am ashamed to be part of the same profession as those who justify and promote bigoted, racist actions against fellow academics in Israel, many of whom work hard for multicultural tolerance and cooperation in the Middle East.
