New report by ADALAH: Apartheid in Israeli Academia: Palestinian Students After 7 October 2023

Posted on | Adalah

Extract from the executive summary: “This report examines the profound shift that has taken place in the treatment of Palestinian students, predominantly citizens of Israel, by higher education institutions in Israel through an analysis of the disciplinary proceedings initiated in response to students’ social media posts since 7 October 2023. The report is primarily based on over 130 inquiries that Adalah received from Palestinian students enrolled at around 40 universities and colleges, as well as a detailed analysis of 100 disciplinary cases in which Adalah provided legal representation. The findings demonstrate a broad institutional pattern that emerged within days of the start of the war, continued through 2024 and 2025, and transformed the boundaries of the authority of Israeli academic institutions, the rules governing disciplinary procedures, and the restrictive scope of Palestinian students’ freedom of expression.”

Video of the conference: International Crimes Committed Against Palestine

Posted on | Rafaëlle Maison | ENS Paris-Saclay

In this lecture (in French) delivered on May 6, 2026, at ENS Paris-Saclay, Rafaëlle Maison, a professor of public law at Paris-Saclay University and a specialist in public international law, analyzes the legal classification of the events in Gaza as genocide, as well as the torture and other acts of violence suffered by Palestinians detained by Israel. The presentation draws in particular on the numerous reports produced by United Nations bodies—especially the Independent International Commission of Inquiry—and by human rights organizations, whose findings have yet to be widely publicized or discussed in the public debate.
