ISA 5th Forum 2025

PACBI Welcomes ISA Suspension of Complicit Israeli Sociological Society, Reiterates Palestinian Demands

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.

This calls for excluding Israel and its complicit academic institutions from the fifth International Sociological Association (ISA) forum in Morocco.
