I've just sent my letter to the board. Let's hope they respond.

Are you disputing that Maya Wind is a scholar and has written extensively on this subject? Interesting.

As scholar Maya Wind has documented, all Israeli universities are deeply complicit in the military occupation of Palestine, including HUJI, which hosts the Havatzalot training program for IDF officers. jewishcurrents.org/the-complici...

Since 1967, the university has expanded its campus beyond the armistice line and into occupied East Jerusalem. uniavisen.dk/en/drop-the-...

And it's deeply ironic that the EAA criticizes the "collective punishment" of scholars affiliated with Israeli institutions (who were not prevented from presenting at the conference), while the Israeli military has been collectively punishing the people of Gaza without mercy for nearly two years.

The board "deeply regret any harm to our affected colleagues", but (apart from a wishy-washy, both-sides statement issued in 2024) no mention of the very real and ongoing harm committed by Israel against the Palestinian people and their cultural heritage.

Really pathetic statement on their part as well. What information could they possibly be lacking? They certainly seem to have missed yesterday's announcement by the International Association of Genocide Scholars that “Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide”.

Congratulations Tom!
