| New anti-boycott initiative in the US Congress | | Israel Academy Monitor - The Republican majority in the US congress
has embarked on a new legislative initiative in an effort to blunt the
BDS movement, spreading through American univerity campuses. And
earlier anti-BDS law, the so-called "“Protect Academic Freedom Act”
was enacted but encountered complex "First Amendment problems" for its
infringement of the Freedom of Speech. Under the new bill, contractors
with the U.S. government and those seeking contracts would have to
certify that they are not engaged in any boycott against Israel. [From the opponent media-ak] | 31/3/2015 |

| From Israeli citizens to UEFA/FIFA - Red Card to Israeli apartheid now! | | We are Israeli citizens, active against our government`s policies of
racism, occupation and apartheid.
Soccer/Football cannot take place without fair play. The Palestinian
people however, ethnically cleansed from their homeland and living
under Israeli occupation for decades, have experienced little fair
play from FIFA and UEFA. Palestinian daily life is dominated by
military orders which prevent any normal development of a
sustainable economy, including Palestinian football. | 30/3/2015 |

| Israel lobby, UK officials attempt to shut down Univ. of Southampton conference | | Ali Abunimah - Electronic Intifada - The University of Southampton has
come under intense pressure over the conference “International Law and
the State of Israel: Legitimacy, Responsibility and Exceptionalism,”
scheduled for 17-19 April, and whose agenda also includes the
circumstances of Israel`s creation in 1948 and the massive expulsion
of Palestinians. Some of the vociferous critics have called for the
conference to be banned outright, while others are urging the
university to require pro-Israel speakers, on the grounds that the
conference is one sided. The university administration is upholding
the organizers` academic Freedom of Speech, while distancing itself
from the content of the conference. ak | 24/3/2015 |

| Incident in which soldiers set dogs on Palestinian youth was part of official policy | | Btselem press release - A dog handler takes the dog off the leash, the dog chases a group of civilians, clamps its teeth onto a person who did not manage to escape, and holds on until the handler arrives. In some cases documented by B’Tselem, the dog refused to release the person and the dog handler had to use a taser to release his grip. Previous responses [to Btselem complaints] centered on professional mistakes made in some of the cases, according to the MAG Corps, and not on the policy of allowing dog attacks against unarmed civilians.
