No matter what you say about how you would allow people to have their lectures you are disrupting the conduct of lectures. And if you demand boycotting Israel stop using computers, Intel, Amd, Microsoft and most major hardware and software houses have R&D centres in Israel. You are hypocrits and should stop this action straight away.
