"The resolution is in solidarity with scholars and students deprived of their academic freedom and it aspires to enlarge that freedom for all, including Palestinians. The ASA’s endorsement of the academic boycott emerges from the context of US military and other support for Israel; Israel’s violation of international law and UN resolutions; the documented impact of the Israeli occupation on Palestinian scholars and students; the extent to which Israeli institutions of higher education are a party to state policies that violate human rights; and finally, the support of such a resolution by a majority of ASA members.Palestinian terrorist government has consistently turned down international offers of statehood, because they want all of Israel and the elimination of Israelis. That Israel takes steps to defend itself from these Islamist Radicals is termed immoral. Why? The only rational answer is the elitist Messiahism, Victimhood and Oppressor supremist fantasy of the perpetually Leftist academics. This is a form of emotional neediness which generates many, many victims.
A former 40 year Atheist analyzes Atheism, without resorting to theism, deism, or fantasy.

If we say that the sane can be coaxed and persuaded to rationality, and we say that rationality presupposes logic, then what can we say of those who actively reject logic?

Atheists have an obligation to give reasons in the form of logic and evidence for rejecting Theist theories.
