Joint letter by human rights organizations, trade unions and civil society groups
On December 11 and 12, NYU students and faculty peacefully demonstrated in support of Palestine. Police intervened at the request of the administration, making arrests, and three faculty members were declared “persona non grata” (sic) on campus, an unprecedented, arbitrary, and outrageous sanction.
Everyone in Strasbourg on Wednesday 27 November at 12.30pm
Collective departures (bus / train / cars) will be organised from several french cities and Brussels – contact: afps@france-palestine.org
More than 2,000 European academics and 45 organisations have supported a petition asking the European Commission to terminate the EU-Israel association treaty, thereby withdrawing a main pillar of European financial support for Israeli institutions, who are complicit in human rights abuses.
AURDIP and four European academic organizations urge the EU to suspend Israel’s participation in EU research programs following the International Court of Justice’s interim order, which found plausible claims of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The letter highlights Israel’s violations of international law and criticizes EU funding that may support these actions. It calls for compliance with the ICJ order and an end to EU support for Israel until it adheres to international law and ethical standards.
This AURDIP report focuses on a fundamental aspect of the anatomy of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. It shows that the invocation of Amalek in Israeli public discourse has shifted in recent decades from extremist religious rhetoric to ideological indoctrination in the social and political arena. At the end of a long process initiated in 1967 in the aftermath of the Six Day War, it has now become a political agenda leading to the development of an increasingly violent and aggressive policy of colonization and apartheid, culminating in the ongoing genocide for which Amalek has become the code name.

Ivar Ekeland, president of AURDIP, wrote to Antoine Petit, President and CEO of the CNRS, to express surprise that the CNRS is relaunching new Franco-Israeli cooperation projects after the order of the International Court of Justice (ICJ ) of January 26, 2024 which highlights the strong risks that Israel is currently committing genocide in Gaza.
France Universités (formerly the Conference of University Presidents) replied to the AURDIP letter regarding the war in Gaza. Ivar Ekeland, president of AURDIP, responds to them on the discriminatory treatment that France Universités imposes on Palestinian universities.
Ivar Ekeland, president of the French Organization of Academics for the Respect of International Law in Palestine, wrote to France Universités (formerly Conference of University Presidents) to ask them to comment on the siege of Gaza as they expressed themselves on the attack of October 7, 2023 and on the invasion of Ukraine. Quoting the United Nations Secretary General who declared that the siege of Gaza was not a humanitarian crisis, but a crisis of humanity, the honorary president of Paris-Dauphine University asked his colleagues to sanction Israeli universities as they sanction Russian universities.
