imho academic boycotts are just as idiotic as olympic boycotts. Science like sports should be above politics.

How can you be "above politics" and engage yourself in politics at the same time...?

How is quantum physics related to politics?

Re: The BDS movement and the association of anti-Zionism and antisemitism
Do you honestly believe it's the hard science who's pushing for a boycott? Ever met a mathematician capable of withstanding the direct sunlight for the amount of time(ie. over 10 minutes) needed for a rally/demonstration?
Still: the creationism/science debate is highly political and only concerns the hard sciences.
Not to mention that the organization of quantum physics education and research remains highly political.

Re: The BDS movement and the association of anti-Zionism and antisemitism
What is this BDSMovement you talk about?
When you use an acronym, please explain it, if it isn't common knowledge (and since I never heard about that one, it probably isnt).
ON TOPIC: Israel is just a vile and horrible nation. They deserve much worse than what they get.

There's no debate. There's nothing to debate.
