UPDATE: The Commentator is calling it a hoax:
Prof. Hawking trip NOT cancelled due to Israel boycott
Professor Hawking’s spokesperson has confirmed that he will not miss the conference in Israel due to a boycott, but rather because of health reasons
[…]
However, a Cambridge university spokesperson has confirmed to The Commentator that there was a “misunderstanding” this past weekend, and that Prof. Hawking had pulled out of the conference for medical reasons. A University spokesman said: “Professor Hawking will not be attending the conference in Israel in June for health reasons – his doctors have advised against him flying.”
NOTE: This is the kind of evil mindset arrayed at the Jewish state, using a man’s illness for their own advantage and the media willingly buying into it.
UPDATE II: Algemeiner now reporting that the story is true.
I never had much respect for Hawking, as his contributions are nothing but fairly simple extentions of Einstonian physics. He is the darling of the BBC and atheists as he speas their language.
His latest stand on Israel shows the same pandering to the LibLeft.
Hawking’s health is terrible, so I believe his health problems would prevent air travel. I am surprised he has lived this long.
Well apparently Hawkins did sign on for the boycott of Israel. Meanwhile, the Muslims are busy conquering and destroying England, and Hawkins apparently doesn’t notice that!
