sity instructors in weighing punitive measures against 
Israel; 
Whereas these unions have a hypocritical double standard in 
condemning Israel, a free and democratic state, while 
completely ignoring gross human rights abuses occurring 
throughout the Middle East and around the world; 
Whereas Article 19, section 2, of the United Nations Cov-
enant on Civil and Political Rights states that, ‘‘Everyone 
shall have the right to . . . receive and impart informa-
tion and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either 
orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or 
through any other media of his choice’’; 
Whereas these and other attempts to stifle intellectual free-
dom through the imposition of an academic boycott are 
morally offensive and contrary to the values of freedom 
of speech and freedom of inquiry; 
Whereas American Nobel laureate Prof. Steven Weinberg re-
fused to participate in a British academic conference due 
to the National Union of Journalist’s boycott and stated 
that he perceived ‘‘a widespread anti-Israel and anti-Se-
mitic current in British opinion’’; and 
Whereas the senseless boycotting of Israeli academics contrib-

Whereas, on April 23, 2007, at 75 years old, Barbara Hil-
lary, accompanied by 2 trained guides, became the first

Whereas Matthew Henson is a hero and an inspiration to 
Barbara Hillary; 
Whereas, although such record-keeping is not perfect, there

they can do to help: Now, therefore, be it
