Israelisk expert inte välkommen till Manchester

 I Manchester, Storbritannien, har arrangörerna efter påtryckningar avbokat en föreläsning om konflikt- och krishantering. Orsak: Föredragshållaren är en jude från Israel.
Israels ambassad i London konstaterar att när man avbokar en privat föreläsare på grund av hans etniska identitet eller nationalitet är det fråga om rasism.

U.K. union bars Israeli expert from conference on conflict resolution  (Haaretz)

 "LONDON - A master-class on conflict resolution that was set to be given by an Israeli lecturer in Manchester next week was canceled by the British National Health Service, after trade union members who were to take part in the class objected to participating in a workshop with an Israeli expert.

Moty Cristal, an Israeli expert on negotiating skills and crisis-management, was to have taught a class entitled The Role of Negotiation in Dealing with Conflict, as part of a workshop on conflict resolution for health-trust managers and union officials. The workshop is being organized by Manchester Mental Trust, part of the NHS. 
 Cristal has worked in the past with Palestinian groups and human-rights organizations, and has lectured on his field on numerous occasions in Britain, including a lecture to the Muslim Council of Britain."
