THOUSANDS of university departments and academics around the world have joined the global outcry against Israel’s latest violence against Palestinians.
The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) a group with the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement has described the recent surge of support on campuses for Palestinian rights as an “unprecedented wave of solidarity.”
The campaign group highlights the action being taken at Cambridge University, where 1,600 faculty members, staff, students and alumni have urged management to “sever formal links and partnerships” with firms complicit in Israeli apartheid.
Cambridge has almost £2 million worth of investments in firms linked to Israel’s violations of international law, one of the highest of any British university, according to research by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
