I think the question remains as to how a discussion about an academic boycott of Israel has moved on to musings about who will take whose side in WWIII. How does a discussion move from the criminalization of dissent to WWIII? And in less than 10 posts at that.
At this point, I'm more concerned about oppressive right-wing entrenchment in Israel than I am about WWIII. Besides, amongst the risk factors for WWIII, I would list right-wing extremism in Israel as a big one.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
