The fact that BBC journalist Alan Johnston was still missing, presumed held by a Palestinian group, at the time of the conference, increased the anti-boycotters' sense of incredulity. Witness Jonathan Freedland's Guardian column: " 'So, besides holding a special session on Johnston, what is the NUJ's response? To spring into action and boycott, er, Israel. Does someone need to give those 66 NUJ activists who voted for a boycott (as opposed to the 54 who voted against) a quick refresher course in the Middle East conflict, so they can tell which side is which?'"

On Thursday in Toronto, York University's undergraduate student union — the York Federation of Students — passed a resolution in favor of the Palestinian-led boycott, divestment and sanctions movement. The York Federation of Students is the largest student union in Canada. The resolution demands that the university administration "abides by the BDS call" and urges York to "withdraw its investments from Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, Amphenol and other companies that are selling weapons and military equipment to Israel."
After a chaotic Annual General Meeting that left many items on the agenda unaddressed due to a room-booking issue, the Scarborough Campus Students' Union (SCSU) voted to reaffirm its support of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel at its January Board of Directors meeting on January 22.
