Jakub Kalensky co-founded EUvsDisinfo in 2015 and is now a Visiting Professor at the College of Europe in Natolin.
At the Global Forum: FIMI & Hybrid Threats, Jakub argued that measuring disinformation by isolated incidents is like weighing one grain of rice and concluding rice doesn’t feed anyone.

As of December 31st 2025, #Israel has killed at least 21,283 #children in #Gaza, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (#UN #OCHA) says.
And that's only the killed children that are known by name. The slaughtering goes on, day by day, while you're talking about the alleged "ceasefire".
As of today, the #EU Citizen Initiative "Demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement in view of Israel’s violations of human rights" has already gathered 1,209,950 signatories.
You haven't even bothered to comment on that.
"We believe in a Europe that protects every single child."?
No, you are actively supporting the killing of #Palestinian children. Probably their skin color is the wrong one?

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.

I support the #NamePlaceFund campaign, aimed to ensure the EU continues to fund arts and culture.
⁃ NAME: Put culture in the title of a Horizon Europe window: ‘Culture and Global Societal Challenges’, and put culture in the title of a Competitiveness Fund policy window.
⁃ PLACE: Give culture a dedicated structural component in both programmes. When we say ‘dedicated component’, we mean a dedicated budget line, work programmes, and calls. A horizontal principle is not enough for culture, nor is a line inside someone else's policy window. Culture deserves a home of its own.
⁃ FUND: We call for €5 billion to be allocated towards culture and artistic research in Horizon Europe, and €3 billion to be allocated towards culture and creative industries in the European Competitiveness Fund.Culture cannot and must not become an afterthought. Our future depends on the continued support of the many tangible and intangible benefits arts and culture give us.

I support the #NamePlaceFund campaign, aimed to ensure the EU continues to fund arts and culture.
⁃ NAME: Put culture in the title of a Horizon Europe window: ‘Culture and Global Societal Challenges’, and put culture in the title of a Competitiveness Fund policy window.
⁃ PLACE: Give culture a dedicated structural component in both programmes. When we say ‘dedicated component’, we mean a dedicated budget line, work programmes, and calls. A horizontal principle is not enough for culture, nor is a line inside someone else's policy window. Culture deserves a home of its own.
⁃ FUND: We call for €5 billion to be allocated towards culture and artistic research in Horizon Europe, and €3 billion to be allocated towards culture and creative industries in the European Competitiveness Fund.Culture cannot and must not become an afterthought. Our future depends on the continued support of the many tangible and intangible benefits arts and culture give us.
