As a South African (a white one) at  the time of apartheid, I welcomed the fuel boycott, the sports boycott and the other boycotts that helped to bring about the downfall of the apartheid government. Many of these were organised on campuses all over the world. They conscientized our people and made them think. In the end we had a complete change without having a war. I am horrified at the decision of Forham University. Does the univerdity really want an escalation of violence in the Midde East?
