US National Institutes of Health no longer awarding grants to entities that boycott Israel

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the US will no longer award what have long been coveted and highly productive research grants to entities that boycott Israel, it was announced on Monday.
The move is yet another attempt by the Trump administration to pressure universities in particular to take a zero-tolerance approach toward what is alleged to be antisemitic behaviour.
Those involved in protests and boycotts maintain is it protected political speech that is not antisemitic, but rather anti-Zionist as Israel continues its heavy bombardment of Gaza.
