Han var aldrig den som skrädde orden,
stod på barrikaderna mot Vietnam- och Irakkrigen, varnade för
klimatförändringarnas hot mot mänskligheten och stödde 2013 en
akademisk bojkott mot Israel i efterdyningarna av kriget i Gaza.

Han har hyllats för sin gärning över hela världen. Här i VB väljer vi att lyfta fram vad som skrivs av den sydafrikanska rörelsen för bojkott av Israel.

The human rights and Palestine
solidarity organisation, BDS South Africa, joins fellow Palestinian
solidarity activists from across the globe in expressing our condolences
on the passing of world-renowned physicist and our ally, Professor
Stephen Hawking. In particular our condolences to his friends and
family.
We remember Hawking not only for the brilliance of his scientific mind and achievements but also as an impassioned campaigner who lent his voice to various causes for justice – including the Palestinian struggle against Israeli Apartheid.
– In January 2009, during Israel’s invasion of the Palestinian Gaza Strip, in which more 1000 Palestinians were killed, Hawking said: “A people under occupation will continue to resist in any way it can…the situation [in Palestine] is like that in South Africa before 1990, that cannot continue.” Click here for video.
– In 2013, Hawking withdrew from an Israeli conference stating that, based on advice from Palestinian academics, he had decided to respect the BDS academic boycott of Israel. Click here.
– In 2016, through a public video message, Hawking congratulated Hanan al-Hroub, a Palestinian woman who won the Global Teacher Prize. “From one teacher to another, you are inspiration to people everywhere.” he said. Click here for video.
– Last year in 2017 Hawking used his Facebook page to support scientists in Palestine, calling for his followers to donate funds to a Palestinian Advanced Physics School. Click here.

From South Africa, Hamba Kahle, Comrade Hawking!
För ca ett år sedan så publicerade han själv en hyllning av masterstudenterna i "Palestinian Advanced Physics School " på Facebook.
Stephen Hawkingden 13 februari 2017
I was pleased to send a greeting to the Palestinian Master students attending the first Palestinian Advanced Physics School last year. The school was greatly appreciated by both the students and the lecturers.
I support the rights of scientists everywhere to freedom of movement, publication and collaboration. In this spirit, I would like to bring up a fundraising project aimed at raising funds to make a second Palestinian Advanced Physics School possible. Please consider making a donation today to support science in Palestine. - SH
