Once again, the Islamic Archaeology Conference is in violation of the BDS movement’s anti-normalization guidelines. Furthermore, it includes speakers from Israeli institutions illegally based on occupied Palestinian land.

The South African Medical Association (SAMA) has voted to end all ties with the deeply complicit Israeli Medical Association (IMA). SAMA further calls for the IMA to be suspended from the World Medical Association.

We call on the University of Ljubljana Faculty of Mechanical Engineering to withdraw all support from the ICAMPP conference, co-organized together with the Technion, a deeply complicit Israeli technical institute.

Panteion University and the Athens municipality have withdrawn support from the EUROCRIM 2025 conference.

The EAA is welcoming scholars from Hebrew University, which is partially built on land illegally expropriated from Palestinians in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem, to its annual meeting, Sept 2-6.

The European Society of Criminology (ESC) is normalizing a war crime, crimes against humanity and genocide.

Hundreds of psychotherapists, researchers, and practitioners have signed a statement committing to boycott the Society of Psychotherapy Research until it ends its complicity in Israel’s crimes against Palestinians.

Together, we are exacting a heavy price against genocidal Israel, working strategically and urgently building grassroots power to change the policies of states that enable genocide and apartheid.

The International Sociological Association (ISA) suspended the Israeli Sociological Society (ISS) over its failure to condemn Israel’s ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the illegally occupied Gaza Strip. It is to note that the ISS's complicity goes well beyond failure to condemn Israel’s most recent heinous atrocity crimes.

PACBI welcomes the decision by the International Sociological Association (ISA) to suspend the Israeli Sociological Society (ISS) over its failure to condemn Israel’s ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the illegally occupied Gaza Strip. We salute the scholars (including Global Sociologists for Palestine within ISA), activists, and civil society groups whose collective pressure and support for the PACBI demands made the ISA executive committee take this necessary yet extremely late measure of accountability, over 20 months into Israel’s genocide. However, suspending the ISS is insufficient for ensuring that ISA’s Forum in Morocco does not harm the struggle for Palestinian rights, nor the Moroccan and broader Arab struggle against normalization. Giving an unconditional platform to de facto representatives of complicit Israeli universities that have for decades been a pillar in Israel’s regime of settler-colonialism, apartheid, and military occupation further entrenches normalization, as defined by the Palestinian-led BDS movement. Israeli universities and institutions are today actively supporting the genocide, not just failing to condemn it or staying silent.
