ISRAELI ACADEMICS: US GOVERNMENT ATTACK ON UNIVERSITIES DOES NOT PROTECT US
We stand in solidarity with our US-based colleagues—whether they are US citizens, permanent residents, or academic visa holders. We consider the US Administration’s invocations of antisemitism to be disingenuous, thinly veiled attacks against Muslims, Palestinians, pro-Palestinian, and international students, serving as a pretext for the violent suppression of protected speech and the abolition of the university as a space for free inquiry. We also recognize that the same rhetoric can quickly turn on us or other groups if and when it serves the Administration’s interests. We stand alongside our colleagues firmly against this dangerous assault on academia.

In some 36 strikes about which the UN Human Rights Office corroborated information, the fatalities recorded so far were only women and children.
Open Letter to United Nations Security Council, Israel is Starving Palestinians in Gaza, Act Now to Save Gaza – Sanction and Expel Israel from United Nations
Since Israel’s breach and rejection of the ceasefire, and resumption of aerial bombardments on Gaza, Israel has escalated its mass killings (at least 50,810 Palestinians have been killed and 115,688 injured since 7 October 2023), mass forced displacements, and total destruction and annihilation of Gaza. Israel is starving Palestinians in Gaza seeking their total erasure in what has been described as “the fastest starvation campaign in modern history”.
Neve Gordon: Why I don’t cheer for Israel’s ‘pro-democracy’ movement
The antigovernment protests in Israel are not about achieving true democracy, but maintaining Jewish privilege.
On 21 April, Germany will deport me – an EU citizen convicted of no crime – for standing with Palestine
Four of us have received letters from the state telling us to leave or be removed. This is a terrifying illustration of Germany’s lurch to the right
‘Infinite License’
The memory of the Holocaust has, perversely, been enlisted to justify both the eradication of Gaza and the extraordinary silence with which that violence has been met.
UN Secretary-General’s remarks to the press on Gaza
