Britain's National Union of Students passed a motion on Tuesday by a vote of 19-14, with one abstention, to boycott Israel and affiliate with the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nachshon said the resolution has no practical significance, and was passed by a body that has articulated its anti-Israel positions in the past.“Instead of voicing hatred toward Israel it would be better for British students to study a little history and understand that the distance is not that great between verbal hatred and stereotypes and horrible crimes,” he said.
