The Bishop of Chester has denounced the call made by the University and College Union [UCU] for a boycott of Israel and has condemned Palestinian suicide bombings.
Dr. Peter Forster told the House of Lords on June 12 the boycotts “will be either ineffective or counter-productive, and we are nowhere near a situation where that would be helpful.”
His comments came during a debate last week on the government’s response to the All-Party Parliamentary Inquiry into Anti-Semitism and its implications for higher education introduced by Baroness Deech, the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education.
