Don’t ever quote “academic freedom” in response to the the academic boycott of Israel. There is no academic freedom wherever the long arm of Zionist pressure reaches.

Full program of the canceled conference here. There is absolutely nothing problematic in there. But as Patrick Wolfe shows, Zionism requires the "elimination of the native" not only in the present, but also in the past 2/ www.college-de-france.fr/sites/defaul...

🚨The @college-de-france.fr just canceled a conference on Palestinien history organized by one of its faculty. Absolute shame on them for caving in to Zionist bullies and, thereby, betraying the values of academic freedom they claim to uphold 1/

Looking over the program for the West Bank archaeology conference again, this is a real kicker - a "festive concluding session" purporting to address "ethical issues" discusses ISIS rather than, you know, conducting archaeology in the West Bank without Palestinians

🐦🔎 Complicit Israeli universities in their own words: On Oct. 30, 2023, HUJI put out a video on their youtube page entitled "Research During War". In this video, we notably get a sense of how not only Israeli, but also international students play a role in the country's genocidal machinery.

Thank you to everyone who has read and shared our story about the allegations the President of the #EAA supported a campaign pressuring the Executive Board to reverse its Gaza vote. There is now a #WatchingBrief video with a discussion putting the story in context. Please Like Share and Subscribe.

A reputation in ruins? Some would sooner sacrifice institutional reputations, careers, colleagues’ free will and mental health, democracy…all to enable Israel to continue their unabated slaughter of Palestinian men, women and children. What a hill to die on, what a thing to be remembered for.

This is more than distressing. Unless there is full accountability, I do not see how the EAA can continue in its present form.

This is shocking and concerning for the EAA and its membership. As a signatory of the open letter asking the EAA to act responsibly and ethically, the way @archagainstaparth.bsky.social and EAA members were treated is appalling. More thoughts later.
