Join us today at 6 in ICC 205B for a discussion on the academic boycott of Israeli institutions with Professor Mark Lance! Tweet @ us qs

"An academic boycott is a justified response to Israeli apartheid." - Professor Lance

"Academic freedom should be a central part of a just society."

"Israeli institutions promote racist science against a range of disciplines and actively support the infrastructure of occupation."

"Corporate priorities, government priorities, and structural inequalities" determine how resources are allocated for teaching and research.

In response to GU F.R.E.E.'s petition, CISR has advised the board of directors to cease direct investment in private prison companies. (1/2)

Professor Lance speaks to the distinction between a "broad" and "narrow" notion of academic freedom.

"The infrastructure of Israeli apartheid is a restriction on the free exchange of ideas."

"Non-violent intervention is the only tool that's left."

"An academic and cultural boycott is a valid form of resistance as it was in the case of South African apartheid."

"How can we push for an academic boycott while not harming or isolating liberal Israeli Jews?"

Great question on the effectivity of academic boycotts when there is such a wide calculated campaign of misinformation.

Question on the place of and propaganda aspects of study abroad trips to Israel.

Excited to host Osama Abuirshaid to kick off our Israeli Apartheid Week! Follow along on our Twitter and tweet us any questions!

"Israel is in a constant effort to frame its oppression and massacres of Palestinians as a way of self-defense."

"A person who has never been in Palestine cannot track his history and his roots," on changing the names of Arab villages upon colonization

Abuirshaid speaks to the myth that 750,000 Palestinians voluntarily left Palestine in 1948.

Abuirshaid problematizes the ostracization of Palestinian and denial of return while any Jewish person can get citizenship.

"Population swap", a term used by the Israeli regime, is an endorsement of ethnic cleansing.
