”Stoppa Israel från att ta Västbanken”

DEBATT. Risken är överhängande att folkmordet på palestinierna sprids till Västbanken. Våldet har ökat och hela området riskerar att annekteras av Israel, skriver Helena Lindholm och Nina Gren.

Journalisterna Yanis Mhamdi (Blast) och Omar Faiad (Al Jazeera) var ombord på fartyget Madleen – samma som Greta Thunberg – när israelisk militär bordade det på internationellt vatten. Att gripa journalister så är olagligt. RSF fördömer gripandet. www.reportrarutangranser.se/rsf-fordomer...

Do you work at Lund University?
Did you see Uppsala University's statement for actions against genocide and wished that LU would also take a stand against genocide?
Write us a message, and we’ll share the link collecting signatures to urge LU to do the same.

This is important and significant but Uppsala University, and all higher education institutions in Sweden, should also cut ties to Israeli institutions. Israeli academia is embedded and complicit in apartheid and genocide.

"the University Board of Uppsala University has called on the Swedish government to explicitly condemn Israel’s actions, to immediately resume its funding of UNRWA, and to actively work within the EU to take all available measures [...]to prevent a genocide in Gaza."
