Report: Even after the war ended [*], the academic boycott of Israel is intensifying
Israel's "Task Force for Combating the Academic Boycott of the Association of University Heads" warns in a report published today that the academic boycott of Israel could lead it into dangerous scientific isolation.
According to the VERA (Association of University Heads) report published today (May 14, 2026), Israel's academic boycott is accelerating, not slowing.
#Belgium, #Netherlands, #UK, #Spain, and Italy lead the boycott activity. Germany and Italy have so far blocked EU-level sanctions on Israel, but the pressure at the institutional level keeps building regardless of what governments do.
Horizon Europe "the crown jewel" is slipping. Attempts to exclude Israel from the EU's €95.5B research program surged 150% in the last six months. Israel's participation has already halved - from €303M in grants (2022) to €119M (2025). The next Horizon agreements are up for renewal in 2027-2028, and the EU is openly questioning whether Israel shares the "values" required to stay in.
The "ceasefire" changed nothing. The assumption that stopping the bombing of Gaza would reverse the boycott was wrong. The boycott movement "quickly adjusted" - citing the war on Iran, operations in Lebanon, settlement expansion in the West Bank, the death penalty bill for Palestinians, and Knesset members openly endorsing violence against Palestinians.
It's not just symbolic. 1,120 boycott incidents recorded. 41% involved suspension of active research cooperation. 29% involved physical disruption of lectures and conferences. 9% involved damage to research grants. Individual researcher boycotts (57% of cases in 2024-25) are now shifting to institutional and professional association level boycotts - a structural escalation.
Israel's identification with the US under Trump is compounding the damage. European resentment of Trump's foreign policy (tariffs, NATO hostility, Venezuela/Iran adventurism) spills onto Israel, which is seen as Washington's fully aligned proxy. The EU is asking whether shared values still exist.
#BDS is "working as designed." The BDS movement explicitly states its academic boycott campaign has "pushed Israel to the margins" of Horizon Europe. The report concedes there's "no substitute" for Horizon - Asian partnerships can't replace it. Israel faces irreversible scientific isolation.
[...] VERA warns that scientific research in Israel depends on Israeli researchers' connections with colleagues abroad. Participation in the Horizon program provides not only an irreplaceable boost of valuable funding, but also allows Israeli researchers to form research partnerships, interact with researchers from European and non-European countries, and influence the continent's scientific-academic agenda from within.
41% - Suspension of Cooperation: This is the most common type of incident. It refers to the explicit and tangible severance of research partnerships and collaborations.
29% - Disruption of Lectures & Conferences: The second-largest category, this involves public actions aimed at preventing Israeli academics from speaking or participating in academic events.
9% - Damage to Grants: Direct harm to the funding of Israeli research projects.
9% - "Antisemitic" Comments: Incidents involving explicitly antisemitic rhetoric.
7% - Difficulty in Publications: Obstacles faced by Israeli academics in getting their work published in academic journals.
5% - Peer Review: Refusal by international academics to peer-review research submitted by their Israeli colleagues.

Do not, I repeat do not, send your kids to study in the US.
Not only do the outrageous fees you pay as an “alien” (their term, not mine) keep their universities afloat, but your kid could be arbitrarily detained by their gestapo for demonstrating a conscience.

Waarom een academische boycott van Israëlische universiteiten?
In deze episode van Makdisi Street vertelt Maya Wind, schrijfster van Towers of Ivory and Steel, hoe Israëlische universiteiten pilaren zijn van de apartheid.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6GMX6dGHH-8
De PACBI oproep is expliciet van Israëlische instituten, niet van individuen en valt binnen de academische vrijheid. Hier meer informatie (uit 2015) over de boycott: https://bdsnederland.nl/dialoog-versus-bds-antwoorden-op-argumenten-van-tegenstanders-van-de-academische-boycot-van-israel/

No Palestinians Involved: An Open Letter to My Colleagues
"More pressing than the past however—the Dan David Prize after all “celebrates scholars and practitioners whose work illuminates the human past and can enrich public discourse with a deeper understanding of history”—is the future. Tel Aviv University, especially its engineers, information technologists, and Orientalists, is tightly enmeshed in the war-making and intelligence-gathering apparatus of the State of Israel. Its faculty and students collaborate in an official capacity, to give one pressing example, with Elbit Systems, the most high-tech and wide-reaching weapons manufacturer in Israel, producer of the drones which terrorize Palestinians on a daily basis. Needless to say, the University like all academic and cultural institutions in Israel, is the subject of an international boycott.
Last year, on the same day that the Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was murdered by an Israeli sniper in Jenin, the Dan David Prize winners were paraded on stage in an extravagant ceremony just fifty miles west on the grounds of Tel Aviv University."

Waarom een academische boycott van Israëlische universiteiten?
In deze episode van Makdisi Street vertelt Maya Wind, schrijfster van Towers of Ivory and Steel, hoe Israëlische universiteiten pilaren zijn van de apartheid.

De PACBI oproep is expliciet van Israëlische instituten, niet van individuen en valt binnen de academische vrijheid. Hier meer informatie (uit 2015) over de boycott: https://bdsnederland.nl/dialoog-versus-bds-antwoorden-op-argumenten-van-tegenstanders-van-de-academische-boycot-van-israel/

This means UCU is calling on members, university workers, trade unionists, and supporters worldwide not to:
- apply for any advertised jobs at Goldsmiths
- speak at or organise academic or other conferences at Goldsmiths
give lectures at Goldsmiths
- accept positions as visiting professors or researchers at Goldsmiths
- accept new contracts as external examiners for taught courses at Goldsmiths. -
UCU has announced a global academic boycott of Goldsmiths, University of London over the institution's plans to cut jobs. Staff at Goldsmiths are already undertaking a marking boycott in a dispute over management's attempt to sack more than one in six academic staff.
With Goldsmiths refusing to back down from these devastating plans, UCU's Higher Education Committee (HEC) approved escalation to an academic boycott.
