8\ Greenberg’s letter was followed by international criticism of the February conference. Notably, the Palestine Exploration Fund condemned it for normalizing “academic activities which are in breach of international law.” pef.org.uk/wp-content/upl… >>

9\ Rather than comply with the minister’s attempt to dictate academic content, the congress organizers made a difficult but principled decision today to cancel the entire event.

10\ We regret the cancellation of the congress — but we view it as a vital, necessary, and important step in light of the minister’s actions. >>

11\ The struggle is only beginning. The archaeological community must now insist on the full enforcement of local and international law as non-negotiable foundations of its work and existence.

Archaeology defined as a hauntology of remains. A theoretical statement grounded on my work on ruins and my recent work on the remnants of contemporary migration. Part of a great volume! Grateful to the editors and to many colleagues who helped out! academia.edu/143309448/Hami…

Congratulations to the Executive Board of the European Association of Archaeologists for this principled position, protesting the genocide. Solidarity with the colleagues who voted for it and who are now receiving threats. Eternal shame to the officers of the organization who are trying to reverse it!
