AN OPEN LETTER TO PROFESSOR MENACHEM MAGIDOR AND THE MEMBERS OF ISRAEL'S
FORUM TO COMBAT THE ACADEMIC BOYCOTT
Recent reports tell us that leading members of Israel's academic
institutions are organizing to "fight the international boycott." We are
told that Israeli academics are outraged at this "unwarranted attack on
Israeli academic freedom."
In order that the issue of academic freedom may be discussed within a
context free of hypocrisy, we, the undersigned, defenders of Palestinian
academic freedom and supporters of the academic boycott against Israel, call
for a response to the deterioration of Palestinian education as a
consequence of Israeli policies from those leaders of Israel's universities
who now organize to fight the boycott.
Academics worldwide should have an accurate picture of the situation that
has long confronted Palestinian education: the Israeli government has set up
a system of roadblocks and checkpoints that makes it difficult or impossible
for Palestinian teachers and students to reach their universities, colleges
and schools. Its policy of harassment, arrests, random shootings and
assaults is carried out almost weekly by Israeli troops on Palestinian
campuses. All of this takes place against the backdrop of an ongoing 37 year
occupation and relentless attack on Palestinian civil society, thus
disrupting the necessary framework for any successful educational structure.
Such Israeli government policies negate Palestinian academic freedom.
Given the destructive nature of Israeli government action against
Palestinian education and academic freedom, and your simultaneous expression
of concern for Israeli academic freedom in the face of the boycott, we feel
that it is only fair to ask the Israeli academic leadership where it stands
on the issue of current Israeli policy as described above, and to share with
us what Israeli academic institutions are doing to challenge the behavior of
your government.
Finally, to help you do this we are prepared to join you and other parties
in public debate of the academic boycott of your institutions at any time
and in any neutral venue.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
