Israel Moves to Ban Pro-Palestinian Activism in Israeli Academic Institutions
Israel's Education Minister and Likud member, Yoav Kisch.
The Israeli Ministerial Committee for Legislation has approved a draft bill aimed at banning the political activity of Palestinian Arab students in Israeli universities under the pretext that such action is “supporting terrorist organizations.”
Israel’s Education Minister Yoav Kisch approved a provision of the bill submitted by Member of the Knesset Limor Son Har-Melech of the far-right Otzma Yehudit Party.
The draft law provides for “the closure of a student cell (a student organization in the corridors of the university) that expresses support for a terrorist act or activity or a terrorist organization, by the concerned academic institution.”
Israel considers all acts of Palestinian resistance, including popular resistance, acts of terrorism, and considers all Palestinian political organizations that opposes Israeli occupation of Palestine terrorist.
This includes the very expression of solidarity with Palestinian resistance or raising a Palestinian
Commenting on the bill, Yoav Kisch said: “I wish there would be no such cases in academia, but it is clear to everyone that it is impossible for students studying in the State of Israel to support terrorist acts and terrorist organizations that affect the citizens of the country, under the auspices of academic institutions.”
The bill’s explanation states that academic institutions have become “a central platform for incitement in the State of Israel.”
It also stated that “at Tel Aviv University, Ben-Gurion University and the Hebrew University, students organized demonstrations explicitly supporting the intifada, and in some cases openly chanted slogans in support of terrorists from terrorist organizations.”
It further stated that “students were arrested on suspicion of involvement in terrorist incidents, and some were even convicted, and all this occurred without an appropriate response from academic institutions.”
MK Har-Melech claimed that “the current legal framework does not allocate sufficient tools for academic institutions to act against explicit support for terrorism.”
