'How do Israeli universities react to this scholasticide? Wind explained: "Not one, not a single one of the Israeli universities' administration has at any point called on the Israeli government to cease the bombing on Palestinian universities and the utter decimation of Palestinian higher education. And this is not coincidental because Israeli universities have not only been, for decades and, by design, pillars of Israeli settler colonial rule and apartheid. Israeli universities are actively sustaining this genocide right now."

'While Wind's book is new, the author kept reminding the audience that its core findings have already been highlighted for decades by Palestinian scholars. These scholars have also developed the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI), a "road map" for Israeli universities to stop their complicity and for universities internationally to hold them accountable.

The entire event, including the contributions during the panel discussion, can be rewatched in this video.'
