Outrageous: @lmumuenchen.bsky.social cancelled event “The Targeting of the Palestinian Academia.” As DAVO-CAF warns, this is an attack on academic freedom—protected by Art. 5(3) GG & UNESCO 1997. Universities must remain spaces for critical debate, not censorship: davo1.de/wp-content/u...

Why many Bosnian genocide scholars remain silent on Gaza
Their refusal to speak out undermines scholarly integrity and the field of genocide studies.

The team, led by Dr Holly Crudgington at the University of Oxford, found that forms of both disconnection and connection appear to be associated.

<div class="field field-field-text"><p><a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israeli </a>minister Itamar Ben Gvir handed out sweets in parliament on Monday after a bill allowing death penalty for <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Palestinian</a> <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/Palestinian%20prisoners" target="_blank">prisoners</a> passed its first reading. </p>
<p>The bill was approved by a majority of 39 out of 120 Knesset members, with 16 voting against in Israel's parliament.</p>
<p>It would allow judges to impose the death penalty on Palestinians convicted of killing Israelis on so-called “nationalistic” grounds.</p>
<p>The legislation would not apply to Israelis who kill Palestinians under similar circumstances.</p>
<p>The bill now requires two more readings in the Knesset before it can become an official law. </p>
<p>Hamas called the legislation "fascist and sadistic" and called for global action against Israel, including "deterrent sanctions."</p>
<p>The Islamic Jihad said the bill's passing was "a dangerous criminal escalation".</p>
