    Millions of Iraqis, Afghanis, Libyans were forced out of their homes by the British army, hundreds of thousands were killed, courtesy of Hawking's tax money and he's done absolutely nothing about it, he is not boycotting the UK, last I checked. This is hypocrisy and double standard at its finest.

    PS Israel did not force anyone out, the Arabs escaped the horrors of war they themselves started, Jews on the other hand had nowhere to go.

    PS2 Arabs repeatedly attacked and invaded Israel trying to wipe it off the map. Last I checked, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya did not invade the UK, the UK invaded them.

    Hawkins dont like israel

    The world is seeing that Israel is a piece of sh't.

    Ambiguity?

    i told you that I am the name holder that the world is awaiting.

    Imagine, how you feel when you find out for certain.

    The premise of your OP suffers from severe moral blindness. The attempt to place the hypocrite label on Stephen Hawking for his boycott of Israel because of their gross, continual abuses in Palestine is not hypocritical. The boycott has nothing to do with the US and UK and the notion that a boycott of Israel for what they are doing to the Palestinians is inconsistent with his actions pertaining to the US and UK is a lame attempt at PR damage control.

    This is what happens when you support a fascist state and it's overt, brutal initiation of violent force against an indigenous population. You get stuck contorting yourself to defend the indefensible.

    That is simply not true Borat. You are not going to be able to sell that rubbish.

    That's exactly where his hypocrisy and double standard is, he is accepting awards from the US - the country he called war criminal, his own tax money is funding at least three invasions and occupations, his country has committed according to him a ton of war crimes, has murdered tens of thousands of people on his tax pound...yet he is not concerned, he is barely paying lip service, he is busy bashing Israel instead. If this is not hypocrisy and double standard, what is?

    This is absolutely true, Israel did not bus Arabs to the border, there were no convoys of Arabs accompanied by Israeli troops either, they left on their own. Why they left is understandable, they wanted to avoid the horrors of war their arab brethren started. Fortunately for them they had places to escape to, the Jews of Palestine had nowhere to go.

    PS where is your response to the part of my post about millions of Iraqi, Afghani, Libyan refugees forced out of their homes by the British army, financed by Hawking and other BDS types of the world? Hawking is doing absolutely nothing about them being busy with Israel and I suppose you dont have anything to say on this matter either, do you?

    There is no double standard. The US is not waging an apartheid against the Palestinian people. One can condemn the US of war crimes and go further towards boycotting Israel for their specific behavior against the Palestinian people and remain consistent.

    It would be inconsistent if he were not condemning the war crimes of other nations, in fact. There is no hypocrisy nor inconsistency on the part of Stephen Hawking. Again, this is just a lame attempt at PR control because you are once again forced to contort yourself to misrepresentations in order to defend the indefensible.

    Exactly what? The hypocrisy in his boycott of Israel but not his own country and/or the US which he labeled 'war criminals'. But who can blame him for not wanting to bite the hand that feeds him. ;)

    I have noticed that you use the world ABSOLUTE quite frequently to describe things that are anything but absolute. There is no use trying to slap lipstick on that pig Borat. It's just a dirty, smelly pig. You can't turn her into Indira Varma.

    According to him the US and the UK committed war crimes in other countries. According to him the US and the UK are responsbile for hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of refugees....The fact that their misery financed by his tax money is of no concern to him while he chooses the safe option of attacking tiny besiged Israel is utter hypocrisy. double standard and cowardice.

    Don't you think that all these lame spin attempts claming that the Palestinians are worhy of a boycott but Iraqis, Afghanis, Libyans etc are not is exactly that - a desparate attempt to put lipstick on the BDS pig?

    Yes, that is correct. He has been critical of the US and UK as well as Israel.
    Yes, he has been outspoken against such atrocities in the past. This is called being "consistent". Not hypocritical.

    LOL!!! It seems self contradictory on your part to point out how he is outspoken about US and UK war crimes and then in the same breath suggest that they are "no concern to him". Remember that part about contorting yourself. This is what I am talking about. Don't you get dizzy from all this spinning?


    LOL!!! Poor besieged Israel?!?!?!?! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! Oh that is just too much!

    This is cowardice...

    You must be confusing lame useless lip service with concrete actions...no he does not act at all against his own country which has committed war crimes, keeps committing them as we speak, which has killed tens of thousands of people and turned hundreds of thousands into refugees on his tax pound... he instead "corageously" acts against a tiny besieged country half a world away from where he lives. That's double-standard, that's hypocrisy, that's cowardice and you know that as well as I do.

    Talking to Borat must be like talking to a loudspeaker, which is why I don't do it.


    'Israel' is just a part of Palestine occupied by aggressive racist Nazis, and it must be hard to defend honestly, so he has my (extremely limited) sympathies in this loathsome work.

    Oh, I'm sure we still compare favorably to the Welsh in decency, or dentistry at least.

    You were here on imperialist business in 1941, clearly. NHS, kiddo - your puppets haven't abolished it yet - and as for decency - what do the gunmerchants who support the Guantanamo concentration camp know about that, for God's sake?

    OF COURSE Hawking is a hypocrite. You provided more than enough evidence of this.

    Your article included the conclusive evidence:

    "as one who identifies with the British Labour Party’s left wing"

    ALL left-wingers are hypocrites.

    But who the hell would want to be in the same room as a "Palestinian", anyway? It's usually safer to stay as far away from terrorists as possible.

    Hey, I know it hurts that you had to pass the torch on imperialism to us, but every major nation has its heyday.

    We'll be passing the torch soon enough.
