Scientist Stephen Hawking was scheduled to deliver a speech at a high-level conference in Israel in 2013, but he made headlines by boycotting the conference.
Stephen Hawking was working at Cambridge University in the UK at that time. Former Israeli President Shimon Peres hosted the conference in Jerusalem called The Presidential Conference.
In a letter, Stephen Hawking told the organizers, 'The policies of the Israeli government will lead to disaster.'
In the letter, he added, 'I accepted the invitation to the Presidential Conference not only for the purpose of giving my opinion on the peace process, but also because I could give a speech on the West Bank.'
'However, I have received emails from several Palestinian academics. All of them said, I should support the boycott. In view of this, I have decided that I will definitely refrain from attending that conference' added this best scientist of the time.
At the time, Stephen Hawking was unabashedly praised by Palestinian activists and academics for boycotting the conference. That is why Filipinos are always grateful to this scientist. His words will be remembered by the Palestinians forever.
