Fearing backlash from boycott movement, association of mental health researchers walks back decision to hold confab in Jerusalem…Professor Zvi Ziegler, coordinator of the Israeli inter-university effort aimed at fighting academic boycotts, confirmed that this was the first instance of an academic organization cancelling a decision to hold a conference in Israel...
