Basta de financiación europea a instituciones israelíes, basta de complicidad en la ocupación, el apartheid y el genocidio

Posted on | AURDIP | ECCP

La petición, firmada por AURDIP y otras organizaciones académicas europeas, exige a la UE a poner fin a su complicidad en el genocidio de Israel en Gaza y la violación del derecho internacional. En la carta se denuncia la continuidad de la financiación Europea a las universidades israelíes, profundamente vinculadas al aparato militar y de ocupación, mientras se destruyen sistemáticamente universidades palestinas.

Solicitamos que la UE:

– Ponga fin a toda cooperación académica y de investigación con instituciones israelíes

– Revoque el estatus de Israel como país asociado en el marco del programa Horizon Europe.

– Tome la iniciativa en la reconstrucción de las universidades e instituciones palestinas destruidas por Israel.

– Investigue el impacto sobre los derechos humanos de la financiación pasada y futura de la investigación de la UE a Israel

Por todo ello, instamos a la UE a imponer las sanciones oportunas, incluido un embargo de armas, y a utilizar su influencia para hacer cumplir el derecho internacional. La petición queda abierta para ser firmada por personal de investigación, personal universitario y estudiantes establecidos en Europa, los países socios del programa Horizonte Europa o afiliados a una institución de la UE.

Germany and Israel: from historical responsibility to criminal complicity

Posted on | AURDIP

Germany, which brandishes the « Staatsräson » (raison d’état) as the absolute justification for its support of Israel, hijacks the memory of the Holocaust to cover up the genocide in Gaza. This posture is accompanied by a fierce McCarthyism against any dissenting voice, equating criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism. This AURDIP report examines the mechanisms of this drift, its consequences and the rare attempts at resistance.

Losing academic integrity in favor of whitewashing the Israeli army in the Occupied Territories

Posted on | S.B. & A.M | AURDIP

“On 6 March 2024, Barak Medina and Anna Peters published an article in the German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) with a question as their title: “Fighting Terror with Military Means?”… Why do we bother to write against another case of grave violation of basic academic standards? There are several reasons for making our rejection of Medina’s and Peter’s declared support for the Israeli army public.” By S.B. & A.M. The authors, who sign with initials for security reasons, are an Israeli and a German academics.

Urgent Appeal to Suspend Israel’s Participation in EU Research Programs Following ICJ Interim Order on Gaza Genocide

Posted on | AURDIP

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.

The invocation of Amalek in Israel: from extremist religious rhetoric to a totalitarian project culminating in the genocide in Gaza

Posted on | AURDIP

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.
