Israel Partnerschaft abgesagt – Die Universität Genfer entzieht sich von Israel – im Alleingang

Good, this was long overdue. It seems that slowly people start to understand that being strongly against what Israel is doing is not antisemitism.

I don‘t see why this should be applauded or should be seen as an act of defiance against Israels inhumane approach in eliminating terrorist groups. Why should people in education and scientific research take the penalty for their countries faults, especially in regards to their incompetent politicians and military leaders? Also this is definitely not a one-sided story but a complex, nearly a cenrury old conflict with no clear good-bad side.

Wow.. didnt know UNIGE had it in them. Bravo to the students and faculty who fought for this!

EDIT: title is optimistic and misleading. They claim it wasn’t a political decision and they cut ties with several other institutes. Private research collaboration between scientists are unaffected. So .. read I guess.
