    20 years ago @PACBI called for the boycott of Israeli universities. Responding to this call, I wrote a book investigating Israeli universities' complicity in settler colonialism. Towers of Ivory and Steel: How Israeli Universities Deny Palestinian Freedom is out today @VersoBooks

    Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian was shamelessly suspended by Hebrew University for courageous analysis and critique that is a model for us all. I joined her on @democracynow to discuss why we must urgently heed @PACBI's call for #AcademicBoycottNow

    Groundbreaking update: After committing to cut ties with 3 Israeli academic institutions, Ghent University will now cut ties with *all* Israeli universities. It also commits leading the call for the EU to exclude Israel from EU research funding programs. loom.ly/G6QY0mM

    While Nadera has just been released, she is not out of danger. We have to keep up the international pressure and hold Hebrew University accountable #AcademicBoycottNow

    Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian is a courageous scholar and activist. For years she has been the target of harassment campaigns for her uncompromising analysis. Today, Hebrew U suspended her so Zionist students can be "safe" from critique of #GazaGenocide #AcademicBoycottNow

    "Nuseirat, like all massacres committed by colonialists, whether in Algeria, South Africa, Ireland, or other settler colonies, will be a signpost in our long walk to freedom. Only those who stand on the right side of history can read the signs." Essential reading by @haidareid
