"Israeli universities are embedded in the Israeli state’s military-industrial complex and actively contribute to the occupation of Palestinian land and the apartheid and genocide of Palestinian life. German universities and academic institutions serve as strategic partners in the Israeli colonial apparatus."

I stopped reading at "A team of astronomers at the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology examined".
Do not, I repeat do not, send your kids to study in the US.
Not only do the outrageous fees you pay as an “alien” (their term, not mine) keep their universities afloat, but your kid could be arbitrarily detained by their gestapo for demonstrating a conscience.

"On Saturday night, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents entered a student residential building at Columbia University in uptown New York and detained Mahmoud Khalil, one of the lead negotiators on behalf of pro-Palestine protesters at 2024’s Gaza solidarity encampment. In a sweeping attack on the First Amendment, the Trump administration said this week it would begin revoking visas of “Hamas sympathizers,” specifically citing Columbia University students. The detention followed a two-day targeted online campaign against Khalil by pro-Israel groups and individuals, including Columbia’s high-profile pro-Israel professor, Shai Davidai. Khalil, an Algerian citizen of Palestinian origin and an American green-card holder, was detained by DHS officials around half past eight as he was entering the Columbia residential building he lives in. After refusing to sign the nondisclosure agreement, Khalil reportedly said the university put a hold on his transcript and threatened to block him from graduating. But when he appealed the decision through a lawyer, he said, they eventually backed down." https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/dhs-detains-columbia-university-student-gaza

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

March for an academic boycott 🍉
Martelarenplein, Leuven, dinsdag 1 oktober om 18:00 CEST
Waarom een academische boycott van Israëlische universiteiten?
In deze episode van Makdisi Street vertelt Maya Wind, schrijfster van Towers of Ivory and Steel, hoe Israëlische universiteiten pilaren zijn van de apartheid.

De PACBI oproep is expliciet van Israëlische instituten, niet van individuen en valt binnen de academische vrijheid. Hier meer informatie (uit 2015) over de boycott: https://bdsnederland.nl/dialoog-versus-bds-antwoorden-op-argumenten-van-tegenstanders-van-de-academische-boycot-van-israel/

@palestine @israel
Wherever you are,
Whatever sand you can throw on the gears of genocide
Do It Now.
If it's a handful, throw it
If its a fingernail full,
Scrape it out and throw it
Get In The Way
However you can
The elimination of the Palestinian people is not inevitable.
We can REFUSE
With our every breath and action
We must

No Palestinians Involved: An Open Letter to My Colleagues
"More pressing than the past however—the Dan David Prize after all “celebrates scholars and practitioners whose work illuminates the human past and can enrich public discourse with a deeper understanding of history”—is the future. Tel Aviv University, especially its engineers, information technologists, and Orientalists, is tightly enmeshed in the war-making and intelligence-gathering apparatus of the State of Israel. Its faculty and students collaborate in an official capacity, to give one pressing example, with Elbit Systems, the most high-tech and wide-reaching weapons manufacturer in Israel, producer of the drones which terrorize Palestinians on a daily basis. Needless to say, the University like all academic and cultural institutions in Israel, is the subject of an international boycott.
Last year, on the same day that the Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was murdered by an Israeli sniper in Jenin, the Dan David Prize winners were paraded on stage in an extravagant ceremony just fifty miles west on the grounds of Tel Aviv University."
