Is Stephen Hawking right to boycott a high-profile conference in Israel?

I'm no friend of Israel but can't help feeling that it would be better if he attended and spoke his mind.

Also, I wonder what other countries he's visited that have dubious regimes?

I think SH is doing the right thing and also agree with the other comments on this thread.

In response to the OP good for him! If nothing else it makes a strong statement of disapproval.

The conference took place last year, 2013, when the OP first posted.

I thought it sounded familiar!

of course he was right- as posted by Anno on another thread- listen to John Snow about why we all have to open our eyes and heart about this awful conflict.

I admire Stephen Hawkins for making this stand.

Nothing at all to do with anti semetism!
