does that opinion include his administrators and doctors who now claim he's too frail to travel?

some of the Nazi professors were not stupid people at all. Take the
phoolosopher Heidegger. Actually, not such a fool. And he still has a
"good" rep in the West. Then there was the Belgian Nazi DeMan, who had a
respected academic career after WW2.
Here is my essay on anti-Zionism as continuing the old antisemitism, which I think may be helpful in understanding the anti-Zionist phenomenon and the anti-Zionists.

of course hawking may be one of those unworldly profs who are out
of touch with the practical every day world. But then there were Hitler's Professors [see the book by Max Weinreich]

To be rational and logical in one area does not mean one is equally rational in all areas.
To say in 2009 that Israel should talk to Hamas because it was democratically elected after it very undemocratically staged a coup to get rid of Fatah gives the impression that Hawking allows himself to react emotionally
to this issue.

A very noble, passionate effort. And you definitely stuck your neck out. I hope he and others listen.
But if Hawking is half of what people claim he is, there is no way in hell that he is unaware of the facts - and if he is, then he is grossly negligent. It is understandable when bubble-headed 22 year old grad students who think the Civil War was a canceled MTV pilot in South Central, but for a man of his accomplishment to not know the reality of who the BDSers are and what they want and their history of unspeakable savagery, is a mockery of any "academic."
Assuming he knows the truth, why would he do this? That, to me, is the question.

Subject: An Open Letter to Stephen Hawking
To:
Friends,
Various news outlets are reporting that Prof. Stephen Hawking has
pulled out of President Shimon Peres's Facing Tomorrow conference in
Israel next month. In response to the news, I have penned an open letter
to Prof. Hawking which I hope you will all share
with your contacts and colleagues.
I'm sure sticking my neck out in this manner will prove to be
unpopular with many. But I figured a swift response was necessary.
Please do share it around.
Kind regards,
Raheem Kassam
Executive Editor
