Israel is “targeting Palestinians as a people, and this is what defines the crime of genocide”.
“Israel has violated the UN Charter, & it must be held accountable for its actions."

Report: US immigration authorities arrest Palestinian activist & revoke his permanent residency
The activist has been transferred to an ICE facility in New Jersey.
There are no more details "about why he is being detained,” his lawyer said. “This is a clear escalation. The administration is following through on its threats.”
Another student protester also had their visa revoked for “criminal behavior”.

Academics anywhere may even consider the below sequence if effective:
1. decide to work less with israel or the United States
2. make a joint statement
3. inform the institutions
#Palestine / New report details academic boycotts and collaboration challenges faced by Israeli academic institutions (while avoiding mentioning the the genocide in Gaza, let alone forced displacement in the occupied West Bank)
Academic institutions in #Israel are facing escalating academic boycotts and collaboration challenges. A report by the Committee of University Heads details hundreds of incidents, including publication difficulties, funding obstacles, and severed institutional ties. The trend, particularly impacting collaborations with European and US institutions, is attributed to the ongoing “conflict” and evolving political climates.
Israeli researchers are facing challenges in getting their articles published in scientific journals, and they are also finding it difficult to obtain recommendations from international colleagues.
The boycott is impacting access to research funding, with some international researchers reportedly requesting Israeli researchers to withdraw from joint projects to avoid repercussions.
Even when formal institutional boycotts aren't in place, individual researchers are reporting reluctance from international colleagues to continue research collaborations and projects.
The article highlights the actions of #Ghent University in #Belgium, which severed academic ties with Israel, citing concerns about human rights. This university also attempted to influence other institutions and the European Commission to further isolate Israeli academia.
[…] The authors of the report warned of a worsening of the academic boycott against Israel following the return of #trump to the White House. According to them, the administration's policies have begun to lead to "a change in the rhetoric of higher education institutions in the US, which emphasize the preservation of institutional neutrality." The authors cautioned that "the mood in Washington is simultaneously creating a counter-movement, mainly among faculty members who call for the preservation of freedom of expression on campuses, the preservation of the right to demonstrate, and often also support for the boycott movement." Identifying Israel with the Trump administration, it was written, "may complicate the Israeli academy's future relations with universities abroad, with an emphasis on universities in Europe, whose academic leadership does not support the new narrative promoted by the Trump administration in the American academy."

Not a single of #Germany’s major parties—across the spectrum—offers a substantial alternative to Germany’s staunch support for Israel as elections approach. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock’s words, “[...] we are all Israelis,” seem to be more than just words.
PS. Not my graph and I am not that informed about the current state of politics in Germany.

Report: "Israel bans entry to foreigners who support the prosecution of soldiers"
The law adds to previous legislation denying entry to those calling for boycotts.
The original law was used on multiple occasions to bar entry to activists.

#Palestine / Israeli Knesset approves bills to criminalize cooperation with ICC and ban entry of individuals supporting international prosecution of soldiers
The Israeli Knesset has advanced two controversial pieces of legislation. The first, approved in a preliminary reading, would impose a five-year prison sentence on anyone, including citizens, public bodies, and organizations, who "provides services" or "makes resources available" to the #ICC in The Hague. The burden of proof would be on the accused to demonstrate they were unaware their actions aided the ICC. Legal experts warn this could even apply to sharing social media posts of potential war crimes.
[…] Dr. Tamar Megiddo, an expert in international law, warns that "the definitions of this dangerous bill are so broad that even someone who shares a photo or video on social media of a soldier documenting himself committing what appears to be a war crime is exposed to imprisonment." She added that if the proposal is approved, any journalist who publishes an investigative report that could testify to a crime committed by #IDF forces would also be exposed to imprisonment.
The second bill, approved in its second and third readings, bans entry and residency in Israel for non-citizens who have denied the October 7th massacre or the #Holocaust, or who have supported the prosecution of Israeli security forces in international courts. This expands a 2017 law that banned entry to those calling for a boycott of Israel.

"Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians and must be prosecuted internationally.
We call for an end to cooperation and normalization with Israel until it ends its occupation and aggression against Palestine."
