Campaign to Boycott the Oral History Conference at Hebrew University of Jerusalem | 26 décembre 2013 |
1 de Diciembre de 2013 (Firmas actualizadas 12/25/2013)
Nota: A la luz de la retirada de dos ponentes cruciales, como explicamos abajo, el texto de la convocatoria original de 8/12/2013 ha sido revisado. Firmas actualizadas 12/25/2013.
Estimados/as colegas:
Somos un grupo de historiadores/as palestinos, israelíes,y otros académicos de Europa, Sudáfrica, Oceanía, Asía y las Américas llamadote a boicotear la Conferencia “Internacional” de Julio de 2014, organizada por la División de Historia Oral del Instituto Avraham Herman de los Judíos Contemporáneos, en la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén.
Aquellos de ustedes que hayan firmado la llamada estárán satisfechos/as de saber que los dos principales investigadores internacionales que habían acordado impartir lecciones cruciales en la conferencia, Alessandro Portelli y Mary Clark, han renunciado.
Sin embargo, las razones para el boicot permanecen sin cambio. Y mientras las universidades israelíes son profundamente cómplices en la ocupación, asentamientos coloniales y apartheid, la Universidad Hebrea resalta particularmente en este aspecto.
– La tierra en la que algunos de los edificios e instalaciones de la expansión del campus Mount Scopus fue adquirida como resultado de la confiscación ilegal israelí de 3345 dunums de tierra palestina, tierra que se consideró territorio ocupado por la legalidad internacional. La anexión unilateral de Israel de la ocupada Jerusalén Este y la aplicación de la legalidad israelí en ella, son violaciones de la Cuarta Convención de Génova, y han sido repetidamente denunciadas por el Consejo de Seguridad de las Naciones Unidas. (Resolución 252, 21 Mayo 1986)[1]
– Mantiene estrechos lazos con la industria militar israelí, que está acusada de crímenes de guerra contra civiles palestinos, otorgando privilegios especiales a los soldados israelíes y el personal de seguridad, y colaborando con el Ejército israelí en el entrenamiento de oficiales y reclutas. [1A]
– Discrimina a los/las palestinos, incluyendo a quienes son ciudadanos/as de Israel, entre otras cosas: no ofrece clases a los residentes en Jerusalén y las áreas colindantes, en contraste con el trato dado a los grupos judíos; y no ofrece ningún curso en árabe.[2][3]
– Niega la libertad de expresión y protesta a sus pocos estudiantes palestinos/as, tal y como se evidenció en la prohibición de un acto conmemorativo durante la invasión de la Franja de Gaza en el que aproximadamente 1400 palestinos fueron asesinados; al mismo tiempo, ofrece una consideración especial y beneficios para aquellos estudiantes que participaron en esa invasión.[4]
– El personal de la Universidad Hebrea toma parte en la supervisión y promoción de comités de estudiantes y personal en la Universidad Arial, que fue establecida en tierra palestina confiscada en el Banco Oeste. [5]
– No reconoce los diplomas expedidos por la Universidad Palestina Al.Quds en Jerusalén mientras que si lo hace con aquellos expedidos por la Universidad Ariel en una colonia ilegal.
En un momento en el que el movimiento internacional de boicot a las instituciones académicas y culturales israelíes está ganando terreno en respuesta al flagrante y persistente inflingimiento israelí de los derechos humanos y políticos de los/as palestinos, urgimos a investigadores/as y profesionales a reflexionar sobre las implicaciones de tomar parte en una conferencia en una institución cómplice, y a abstenerse de dicha participación. La conferencia es un intento de mejorar la imagen y reputación de la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén en el Oeste y de servir de coartada al hecho de que la universidad está estrechamente asociada con la anexión israelí yu las políticas de separación/muro de apartheid-políticas que fueron fuertemente condenadas el 9 de julio de 2004 en el Tribunal Internacional de Justicia de La Haya[6]
Creemos que la única salida abierta para lograr la justicia y el respeto de la legalidad internacional es un trabajo sostenido por parte de la sociedad civil palestina e internacional para presionar a Israel y sus instituciones cómplices para que ponga fin a ésta opresión. De acuerdo con ello, llamamos a la comunidad internacional a honrar la Llamada Palestina a la Campaña por el Boicot Académico y Cultural a Israel de 2004 (PACBI), para boicotear las instituciones académicas y culturales envueltas en el sistema israelí de ocupación, colonialismo y apartheid, y su llamada a “abstenerse de participar en cualquier forma de cooperación académica y cultural, colaboración y sumándose a proyectos con Instituciones Israelíes. [7].
Hasta que Israel no cumpla plenamente con la legalidad y convenciones internacionales, exhortamos a los/las académicos internacionales a no participar, aprobando las violaciones de Israel y los derechos humanos básicos de los palestinos -incluso sin advertirlo. Llamamos a nuestros colegas a tratar a Israel exactamente igual que la mayoría del mundo trató a la racista Sudáfrica-como un Estado paria. Solo entonces los palestinos tendrán esperanza por una paz justa basada en la legalidad internacional, el respeto por los derechos humanos, y más crucialemnte, en el fundamental principio de igualdad para todos/as, indiferentemente de la etnia, religión, u otras consideraciones identitarias.
Nosotros/as, por lo tanto, le llamamos a boicotear la conferencia de historia oral de la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén y a llamar a vuestros/as colegas para que rechacen participar en ella, para que rechazan cruzar lo que es, en efecto, una línea de piquetes palestinos/as.

Una reflexiön necesaria e importante sobre la libertad académica:
El Comitë de las un de derechos económicos sociales y culturales define la libertad académica como: “la libertad de los individuos de expresar opiniones en libertad sin discriminación ni miedo a represión por el estado ni ningún otro actor, para participar en cuerpos profesionales o representativos, y de disfrutar de todos los derechos humanos internacionalmente reconocidos aplicables a otros individuos en la misma jurisdicción. El disfrute de la libertad académica conlleva obligaciones, como el deber de respetar la libertad académica de otros, asegurando la discusión justa de puntos de vista opuestos, y de tratar sin discriminación en cualquiera de los campos prohibidos. (10)
Teniendo esta definición en mente, estamos completamente convencidos de la libertad académica individual, pero también creemos que esas libertades no deberían extenderse automáticamente a las instituciones. Judith Butler nos recuerda que “nuestras luchas por la libertad académica deben trabajar junto a la oposición a la violencia a la violencia del estado, vigilancia ideológica, y devastación sistemática de la vida cotidiana” (11)
Incumbe a los académicos el desarrollar este entendimiento de la libertad académica si queremos hablar de justicia social y trabajar junto al oprimido por su libertad, igualdad y autodeterminación.
La academia israelí es no el bastión de deliberación y liberalismo que se presente por aquellos que defienden a Israel y tratan de deslegitimar la llamada al boicot académico. La inmensa mayoría de la comunidad académica israelí es olvidadiza con respecto a la opresión del pueblo palestino, tanto dentro de Israel como en el territorio ocupado-y nunca se ha opuesto a las prácticas y políticas de su estado. De hecho, en su servicio a las fuerzas de reserva del ejército de ocupación puede ser tanto perpetrante como testigo silencioso de la brutalidad diaria de la ocupación. Tampoco dudan en emparejarse en sus investigaciones académicas con la fuerza de seguridad militar que lidera y ejecuta la ocupación. Una petición reaizada por cuatro académicos israelíes, simplemente llamando al gobierno israelí a “permitir a los estudiantes y ponentes (palestinos) acceso libre en todos los campuses de los territorios (ocupados), y permitir a ponentes y estudiantes que tienen pasaporte extranjero enseñar y estudiar sin ser amenazados con la retirada de visados de residencia”, fue firmado solamente por 407 de los 9000 académicos israleíes-menos del 5% de aquellos que fueron invitados a firmarla (12)
Notas.
(1). La decisión fue publicada en la gaceta oficial israelí (Edición en hebreo), numero 1425. Entonces fue “legalizada por israel”. Esta tierra, en su mayor parte, era (Aún es) propiedad privada de palestinos que vivían en ese área. Una gran parte de la tierra confiscada fué entonces dada a la Universidad Hebrea para expandir su campus(principalmente dormitorios). Los propietarios palestinos rechazaron dejar sus tierras y casas argumentando que la orden de confiscación de 1968 era ilegal. Cuando el caso fué llevado por el Juzgado del Distrito de Jerusalén en 1972 (Archivo n. 1531/72), la corte dirimió en favor de la Universidad y el estado decidiendo que las familias palestinas tenían que evacuar sus casas y ofreciendo un alojamiento alternativo.
