Stephen Hawking's Israel boycott: when politics doesn't need poster children | Jennifer Lipman

The Guardian -- World Latest |
| This isn't Darfur. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is complex and well known, so Hawking isn't taking the role of George Clooney
Stephen Hawking, perhaps the greatest mind of our era, has backed a boycott in protest over the policy of the present Israeli government towards the Palestinians. Hawking's decision not to attend a conference hosted by Shimon Peres has been greeted with delight by supporters of the boycott campaign. What better way to bolster their argument than a lauded intellectual refusing to stand by in the face of injustice?
The efforts of those who want Israel to be shunned – whether in culture, sport, academia or politics – garner plenty of interest, but never so much as when a celebrity gets on board.
When Hebrew-speaking thespians were invited to the Globe theatre, a chorus including Emma Thompson publicly professed indignation . The debate about Israel hosting next month's European under-21 football championship went far beyond the blogs following the intervention of ... |

South Sudan: 'your chair or your wife' – tough choices at Renk port
|
8.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| South Sudanese people stuck at northern port of Renk, having left Sudan but unable to take families and luggage back home
George Malual Deng, 24, has spent two years stuck in a transit site waiting to return to his home in South Sudan's Jonglei state. He is among 20,000 people who have made a home of sorts in the river port of Renk, waiting for a barge to take them south.
When he began his journey from Khartoum, Sudan was a single state, albeit one bitterly divided between north and south in the wake of decades of civil war, despite a major peace accord in 2005.
Since then, almost 2 million people have left the north for their homelands in what became the independent republic of South Sudan in July 2011. Many, like Deng, say they left amid increasing discrimination and reduced access to education.
The period following secession was tumultuous, marked by sporadic conflict between the neighbours' armed forces and a row over how much Sudan could charge for piping and exporting South ... |

Israel launched air strike on Syrian military facility to 'maintain security'
|
5.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Pre-emptive attacks are an Israeli speciality, but action does not obviously herald wider international involvement in Syrian crisis
Syria's crisis always attracts intense international attention when outsiders get involved – especially Israel. Damascus called the latest raid "a declaration of war" but it was probably intended as something more limited – to maintain Israel's own security "red lines", irrespective of the wider picture.
Pre-emptive attacks are an Israeli speciality – from the 1967 assault on Egypt and Syria through the 1981 bombing of Iraq's nuclear reactor to last year's strike on an Iranian-built factory in Sudan supplying weapons to Gaza .
By all accounts, the raids near Damascus at the weekend were intended to stop advanced missiles being delivered to the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which is allied to Syria and backed by Iran. It was only last week that its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, pledged publicly to stand by Bashar al-Assad , along with the president's other "real ... |
