Gaza death trap: MSF report exposes Israel’s campaign of total destruction

A new report from MSF highlights how repeated Israeli military attacks on civilians in Gaza, and the systematic denial of humanitarian assistance are destroying the conditions of life.
Our teams in the north of Gaza are seeing clear signs of ethnic cleansing as Palestinians are forcibly displaced, trapped, and bombed.
The health care system lies in ruins and medical staff – including MSF’s – have been detained or killed.
We call for an immediate ceasefire and for states to leverage their influence to alleviate the suffering of people and enable a massive scale-up of aid in Gaza.

This report focuses on one facet of this violence: recurring instances of severe abuse of Palestinians by Israeli soldiers in the center of Hebron throughout the summer of 2024.

Publication advice on collaboration with academic partners in Israel

The Advisory Committee on Collaborations was asked by the Executive Board to prepare an advisory report on Tilburg University’s partnerships with universities in Israel in the context of the Gaza conflict. Based on these findings, the Advisory Committee concludes that Tilburg University, as a moral actor, cannot remain passive and must act. The Committee translates this moral judgment into the following perspective for action: the Advisory Committee advises Tilburg University to suspend, within the legal and administrative frameworks, the collaborative activities under investigation.

Bearing Witness to the Israel-Gaza War

This document was written out of a profound sense of responsibility and commitment to addressing the ongoing humanitarian and political crisis in Gaza. I, Lee Mordechai, a historian working at an Israeli university and an Israeli citizen, wrote it by drawing on my professional expertise and moral obligation to examine and document the unfolding events. Based on my experience conducting rigorous research and critical analysis, I have undertaken this work as both a citizen compelled to respond to the actions of his government and an academic determined to uphold human rights and ethical principles.
