Israel boycotters target authors, artists (AP)

Italian writer Umberto Eco holds up his novel 'The Cemetery of Prague' during a press conference at the 25th Annual Book Fair in Jerusalem, Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2011. Celebrated Italian writer Umberto Eco said Wednesday boycotting scholars for their governments' policies is 'a form of racism' and 'absolutely crazy.' But he says he faced no pressure from colleagues to boycott a book fair in Jerusalem to protest Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.
