  1. "Israeli universities are embedded in the Israeli state’s military-industrial complex and actively contribute to the occupation of Palestinian land and the apartheid and genocide of Palestinian life. German universities and academic institutions serve as strategic partners in the Israeli colonial apparatus."

  2. "[T]he data make clear that #Jewish #students are still experiencing #antisemitism on their #campuses,” #AJC Vice President #LauraFrank stated in a news release.

    Published Tuesday, the survey found that 42 percent of Jewish students said they have experienced antisemitism on #campus.

    Additionally, 25 percent said “they have felt or been excluded from a group or an event on campus because they are Jewish.”

    Self-censorship also is a problem with 38 percent saying they don’t share their views about #Israel on campus. This is despite nearly 70 percent saying Israel is important to their Jewish identity.

    Meanwhile, one in three said they “avoided displaying their Jewish identity due to fear of antisemitism.”

  3. "Since #Hamas#October7 #terrorist attack, many #Jewish #faculty at #colleges and #universities across the country have been describing their professional lives in language more commonly associated with #trauma than #academic disagreement. In a nationwide #survey of more than 200 Jewish-identifying #US-based faculty conducted between April and July of 2025 by the #AcademicEngagementNetwork (#AEN) and the #AntiDefamationLeague (#ADL), respondents spoke of fear, isolation, and a loss of belonging on their own #campuses.

    One Jewish faculty member starkly described the experience: “I’m being attacked online…I have been ostracized by faculty in a smear campaign. I have been advised…not to come to #campus…this is as bad as it gets.” Another shared, “faculty are not talking to me because they know I’m a #Zionist.” And another participant confided, “I am being attacked in all directions, and I no longer feel safe on campus.”

    And these aren’t isolated incidents."

  7. #Texas just gutted #FreeSpeech on #college #campuses. Is your state next?

    New laws in the Lone Star State will silence dissent and undermine #faculty authority.

    By Laura Benitez and Jonathan Friedman
    July 14, 2025

    "As thousands of students return to college campuses this fall, they will find themselves stepping into an environment reshaped by political and ideological mandates. Across the country, state legislators have been racing to exert new influence over free expression in higher education. Now, Texas has surged to the forefront, closing its 2025 legislative session by passing two alarming laws that take effect Sept. 1.

    "Signed by Gov. Greg Abbott (R) in June, the new laws amount to a stunningly aggressive legislative crackdown on campus protest (#SB2972) and academic shared governance (#SB37) at public colleges and universities. The laws will not just silence dissent and undermine faculty authority in Texas; they provide a blueprint for how to dismantle academic freedom and chill speech on campus state by state.

    "Only a few years ago, conservative lawmakers railed against college 'free-speech zones,' arguing that liberal administrators were muzzling students on the rest of campus. In 2019, Texas legislators joined other states in taking action by declaring all outdoor spaces on public campuses open for protest and speech by students, employees and the general public.

    "Now, some of the same legislators have done an about-face. The campus protest law actually directs public colleges and universities to implement a version of free-speech zones and adopt sweeping limitations on protests. #Encampments? Banned. #Megaphones or #speakers during 'class hours'? Forbidden — if anyone claims your 'expressive activity' is one that 'intimidates others' or 'interferes' with an employee’s duties. Even wearing a mask during a protest — something many do for safety — could land a student or employee a disciplinary hearing resulting in 'sanctions.' And any expressive activity between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. is off-limits altogether."

  8. "The impetus is on organisations, probably businesses and charities."
    "It's not about what individuals think. It’s about what organisations do."

  9. As Rita Jabri Markwell put it:
    • trauma is a genuine wound;
    • fragility serves as an exercise of power over oppressed peoples.
    In the Zionist case, fragility depends on genuine wounds (collective Jewish historical trauma) to leverage its power and silence dissenters.
