200 Brazilian academics pledge support for academic boycott of Israel

MEMO | January 21, 2016

It has taken just three days for 200 Brazilian academics to sign a letter in support for the academic boycott of Israeli institutions, in protest against Israel’s ongoing policies of occupation and discrimination. Professor and former UN rapporteur Paulo Sergio Pinheiro and physician and pharmacologist B. Boris Vargaftig are among the signatories.

In a statement released today the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic Boycott of Israel (PACBI) “salute” their solidarity: “Through these campaigns Brazilians continue to demonstrate that solidarity with the oppressed is the most politically and morally sound contribution to the struggle to end oppression.”

According to PACBI Brazilian movements, individuals and unions have long been committed to isolating Israeli academic institutions as part of the struggle against the Israeli settler colonial and apartheid regime.

  1. I guess this academic boycott makes these 200 Brazilians “Anti-Semitic” (Just for criticising Israel’s behaviour)

    “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize”,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Voltaire.
