If the Palestinians don't boycott Israel, why should UC San Diego? Or the Presbyterians? Or anyone?
According
to figures by the Israeli Civil Administration, more than 930,000
Palestinians traveled into Israel in 2012
From Israel Defense:
The figures show that tens of
thousands of movements were recorded at passageways for the purpose of
family visits and traveling in Israel, receiving medical care in Israeli
hospitals, commerce and employment for Palestinian workers and
merchants in Israel. The highest rise in the number of passing people
was recorded during the time of the Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr and Christmas
holidays, when more than 242,000 Palestinians entered and left Israel,
compared to just 122,300 during last year’s holiday season. This marks a
rise of 98.5% in total.
The Civilian Administration worked to
upgrade the infrastructure of the passageways, both by expanding the
passageways, increasing inspection sections, adding manpower, and
stationing measures and infrastructure that greatly assists in improving
the provided service.
