I had a look and the first thing I found was him calling for an academic boycott against New Zealand - presumably for NZs support of the UN resolution against Israel’s Palestinian settlements. This is an interesting approach to dealing with criticism.

I think you're misunderstanding the post. It's a satire of similar such blog posts which are calling for the boycott of Israel. It's trying to (humorously) make the case that boycotting Israel makes about as much sense as boycotting New Zealand for their treatment of the native population, or likewise boycotting China over Tibet, etc, etc.
