Understanding the Boycott of Israel : An interview with Cynthia Franklin (USACBI)

Posted on | Cynthia Franklin | USACBI

An informative interview on ThinkTech Hawaii with Professor Cynthia Franklin, member of the USACBI Organizing Collective.

[AURDIP’s Note : The program manager of ThinkTech Hawaï get mad at this interview and inserted a violent diatribe before and after it (never seen before for this program).

Few hours after posting the video on Youtube, he censored it. Then, after protests over this exploded on facebook tagging thinktech and after they got a flurry of mail, it then went back up with a new title and address ]

Statement of Boycott of Academic Workshop at Hebrew University

Posted on | USACBI

Fifty-five scholars and intellectuals, most of whom do work related to South Asia, and four important academic and cultural associations, are among many hundreds of academics from different fields who urge scholars to boycott any official event hosted by Israeli universities, institutions that are complicit with occupation and apartheid. In particular, the signatories of the letter, below, ask that scholars do not attend the workshop on South Asia in World War II to be held this summer at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Among the list of scholars and intellectuals are Aijaz Ahmad, Partha Chatterjee, Githa Hariharan, Jasbir Puar, Nivedita Menon, Tithi Bhattacharya, Junaid Rana, and Najaf Haider. Our pledge is not to cross the international picket line until “the occupation of Palestine and blockade of Gaza ends, racial inequality inflicted on Palestinians in Israel is terminated, and the Apartheid Wall is dismantled.”
