Since 2009 several UK universities have created posts in Israel Studies,
all funded by external donors with histories of uncritical support for
Israel. Some explicitly promote political aims, especially by diverting
attention from Israel’s occupation of Palestine. Such efforts
threaten academic integrity and freedom.
Bricup has prepared a briefing
document to provide guidance about the threat and about strategies
for local campaigns of opposition.
Please send further information and comments for future development
of the briefing document or requests to support local campaigns via
endorsement or practical assistance to blockhasbarastudies@bricup.org.uk
