Hawking is free to boycott whomever he wishes. But so are we.
If you are outraged by Hawking's promotion of hate and his support for the anti-Israel BDS campaign -- then don't reward him for it.
Don't support him. DON'T BUY HIS BOOKS OR HIS FILMS. And encourage others not to either.

ReplyDeleteHowever, a Cambridge university spokesperson has confirmed to The Commentator that there was a "misunderstanding" this past weekend, and that Prof. Hawking had pulled out of the conference for medical reasons. A University spokesman said: "Professor Hawking will not be attending the conference in Israel in June for health reasons - his doctors have advised against him flying."
Looks like The Guardian is doubling down and Cambridge is retracting its statement. And I had such high respect for Hawking, too. What a putz:
