The academic boycott has become an existential threat

Aaron Ciechanover, the Israeli biologist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, has described the academic boycott of Israel as an existential threat. He told KAN that we are on a very dangerous slippery slope that threatens our future here. The boycott by European colleges against Israel has intensified in recent months and the Gaza ceasefire  has neither stopped nor slowed its momentum, according to a  report by Israel's Association of University Heads. The data indicates that the European academic institutions that severed ties with Israel or ended collaborations with researchers have not reversed the measures. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with former foreign ministry diplomat Emmanuel Nahshon, who today is in charge of combatting the academic boycott for Israeli universities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
