Background:

The academic boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement is a global campaign that aims to pressure Israel to end its occupation of Palestinian territories, recognize the rights of Palestinian refugees, and dismantle its system of apartheid. The movement has gained significant support in recent years, with many academics and academic associations endorsing the boycott.

The boycott applies to Israeli institutions, including universities and research centers, and aims to prevent collaboration and exchange between Israeli and international academics. The boycott does not target individual Israeli academics or students, but rather the institutions that are complicit in the Israeli occupation and human rights violations.
