“Master of the Universe” Steven Hawking Withdraws from Israeli Conference in Solidarity with Academic Boycott
UK cosmologist Prof Stephen Hawking has withdrawn from a high-profile Israeli conference, in support of an academic boycott of the country.
He initially planned to speak at the event in June but pulled out following advice from Palestinian academics.
Pro-Palestinian campaigners said the 71-year-old wrote to the organisers on 3 May saying that he had planned to criticise the Israeli government.
The conference chairman criticised the move as “improper”.
Previous speakers at the Israeli Presidential Conference include former UK prime minister Tony Blair, former US president George W Bush and former US Secretary of State and Nobel Peace laureate Dr Henry Kissinger.
A statement published on Tuesday by the British Committee for the Universities of Palestine, with Prof Hawking’s approval, said: “This is his independent decision to respect the boycott, based upon his knowledge of Palestine, and on the unanimous advice of his own academic contacts there.”
A spokesman for the University of Cambridge – where Prof Hawking is a director of research – said the scientist had written to the Israeli president’s office regarding his decision.
GOOD FOR YOU Mr steven hawking, now if only the rest of the planet would BOYCOTT the “occupiers of palastine”, it is clear with resent evidence (that the jews want to keep hidden) that they have absolutely NO CLAIM TO ANY OF THE LAND THEY HAVE STOLEN.
It is good that Stephen is getting his head screwed on straight.
He should withdraw. He has nothing of worth to say!
God created the universe and for proof … see “The Bethlehem Star” DVD or go to its website. Unique Biblical prophesied celestial constellations were precisely coincident with the Conception, Birth, Magi Visitation and death of Jesus.
See http://jc.does-it.net for an absolute one page proof that God authored the Bible.
Where is Hawking’s proof the the stuff he spews. He sounds good to the liberal mind that does not know the absolute truths of this universe.
“Liberal”
Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, despotic, authoritarian or any attitudes fixed in concrete minds, views, or dogmas that crush human freedom to be and to think.
“Liberal”
Free from bigotry particularly toward bigots; favoring reform, open ideas, progress, tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others and broad-minded, ‘liberals’ are liberated from hatred, emotional suppression and tend to make an effort to love their neighbors as themselves and do unto others what they would have others do unto them no matter how… (see above)
Peace, Brother; the Great Enlightenment comes once to all Men. Otherwise it would not be known as the Great Enlightenment…
dear geneww1938, do you have ANY actual proof of your beliefs. i’m not saying “jesus” did not live, I believe he did, I believe he was a very wise / self aware, MAN (a carpenter), who had a following, who, when asked by his followers “where is god,? is god in the temples,? is god in the sky,? is god in the mountains,?” jesus answered (pointing at their heads) “look within yourselves,!” anyway the story of jesus is NEW TESTEMENT it has nothing to do with the old bible which is a jewish book, written by jews, most of which was stolen from other and older books, like the Gilgamesh, and the book of enki, ect. plus new evidence shows that the jews were never slaves in Egypt and the myth called moses never freed millions of jews from their slavery, there never was 40 years of wondering around in the wilderness, (when palastine was just across the road, obviously “moses” couldn’t work out where north was) it never happened, its a pack of lies.! therefore the jews have absolutely NO CLAIM to the lands of palastine, and at this point in history they are the POWDER KEG that will trigger the WW3, (or Armageddon if you like) but that’s “new testament”. they have the biggest concentration camp / ghetto on earth called “gaza”, they create FALSE FLAG EVENTS in order to start wars that they (the Zionist war industries) profit from, they are murderers of children, stealers of other people land, destroyers of homes, not to mention that they have AT LEAST 250 illegal nuclear weapons, WMD’s . so, why shouldn’t Mr hawking or anyone else BOYCOTT them, I do and I will continue to boycott these WARMONGERS until they pay for their crimes against humanity.
Hawking is no ‘Master of the Universe’ by any stretch of any imagination. The media needed someone to throw at us in hopes we would believe he was ‘brilliant’. Wrong again. My cat is smarter than this dude.
