It is one of the largest multidisciplinary academic conferences and Israel. It is celebrated in honor of the president, Shimon Peres, who this year celebrates 90 years. They will participate in researchers and teachers around the world and politicians like Bill Clinton, Tony Blair and Mikhail Gorbachev and artists such as Barbra Streisand. There is, however, a guest, who was confirmed in the official lists, they will not go into action to boycott Israel and what he considers their abuse of the Palestinians.
British physicist Stephen Hawking sent a letter to Peres last week in which he conveyed his decision not to go to Jerusalem to take part in the Israeli Presidential Conference, organized between 18 and 20 June. Hawking, 71, is director of the Research Center for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge and suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, neuromuscular degenerative disease that has left him paralyzed.
The academic boycott of Israel is, in our opinion, outrageous and inappropriate, especially for someone whose spirit of liberty is the basis of human and academic mission "
Israel Maimon, head of the Israeli Presidential Conference
Their absence, however, is not for health reasons. "It's an independent decision to respect the boycott, based on their knowledge of Palestine, and unanimous advice of its own academic contacts there," he said on his website the British Committee for the Universities of Palestine, a group of UK academic UK claiming to support the Palestinian cause and promote a boycott of Israeli universities by its occupation of the West Bank and the blockade of the Gaza Strip. The British newspaper The Guardian was the first to report the boycott of Hawking.
"We have received confirmation from the office of Professor Hawking was sent a letter on Friday to the office of President of Israel regarding its decision not to attend the Presidential Conference, on the basis of academic advising that Palestinians should respect the boycott, "he said in an email to a spokesman for Cambridge.
On the website before the conference had a page dedicated to Hawking, who has now disappeared. His speech was going to title, generically, "A look at tomorrow." He described it this way: "We will address the trends that will shape the face of tomorrow and efforts to influence their formation. The sessions will focus on four areas of focus that have reciprocal influences: The Global Tomorrow, The Jewish Tomorrow, Tomorrow Israel, and The Scientific Tomorrow ".
Event organizers have strongly protested the decision of the physicist. "The academic boycott of Israel is, in our opinion, outrageous and inappropriate, especially for someone whose spirit of liberty is the basis of human and academic mission. Israel is a democracy in which all individuals are free to express their views, whatever they may be. The imposition of a boycott is incompatible with an open and democratic dialogue, "he said in an email the conference director, Israel Maimon.
