This partixular boycott is misaimed and pointless. Science and culture belong to the world, not to any country. By all means boycott research with military applications, or individuals who work alongside the IDF or other violent groups, but what's the point in boycotting research on medicine or water purification?
Why do you think Israel has bombed and totally destroyed all universities and libraries in Gaza?
I guess they're trying to erase Palestinian culture? But why should scientists behave like IDF goons?
Science and culture are inherently linked to politics.
