Please complain to the Daily Mail and regular columnist Melanie Phillips about an article by her, published on 4 June 2007, entitled "A deplorable decision which shows that Britain's academic elite has taken leave of its senses."

Whatever your views on boycotting Israel, which Phillips is vehemently against and which is the opening subject of this article, she then provides woefully inaccurate, deeply offensive views on the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The article, which should be read in full, is available at:
