Australian university student association to boycott Israeli institutions

The University of Western Sydney's Student Association (UWSSA) has decided to formally affiliate to the "Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel." The call to boycott which was sent by Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel was adopted in full. In Palestine, millions of people live under an oppressive military regime. Among them, hundreds of thousands of university students have to endure ongoing humiliations at checkpoints and roadblocks on their way to campus.

The Electronic Intifada (EI) is a not-for-profit, independent publication committed to comprehensive public education on the question of Palestine, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the economic, political, legal, and human dimensions of Israel's 40-year occupation of Palestinian territories. EI provides a needed supplement to mainstream commercial media representations of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Electronic Intifada offers an introduction to the work of EI, the EI team, and information about how to join our e-mail news lists, submit content, contact us, donate to EI's work, and how to syndicate our content on your website.
