11. Just curious: how many Nobel prizes

have the members of this group won?

How many professors sharing their institutions published papers co-authored with Israeli researchers?

Oh, I forgot. They do not boycott individual researchers, only universities.

Talking about cutting one's nose, etc.

How exactly is this boycott going to be implemented? Prohibiting the productive professors from attending conferences in Israel? Prohibiting their productive professors from publishing papers with the name Jerusalem University, or Technion part of the papers?

By "productive" I mean individuals who actually spend their time and talent conducting research, not grazing their navels.

Come to think of it: how do DUers, who applaud this decision, envision this to be implemented?
