UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS CALL FOR BOYCOTT OF RESEARCH AND CULTURAL LINK w/ ISRAEL _POSTEDON 2002-04-06 23:54:26 by Anonymous _WRITES " Press Release - dateline Saturday 6th April: UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS CALL FOR EUROPEAN BOYCOTT OF RESEARCH AND CULTURAL LINKS WITH ISRAEL more to read click MID-EAST REALITIES - MER - www.MiddleEast.Org - Washington - 5 April 2002: As of noon on Friday, more than 120 university academics and researchers from across Europe had signed during the course of three days, an open letter, presented for publication in The Guardian, calling for a moratorium on all future cultural and research links with Israel at European or national level until such time as the Israeli government abide by UNresolutions and open serious peace negotiations with the Palestinians along the lines of the recent Saudi peace plan. The signatories include more than 90 from the UK, amongst them 43 university professors including some of the country's leading natural and social scientists. The list includes one signatory from within Israel itself. Other signatories are from Eire, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland,Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. The full text of the letter and list of signatories follows: Letter: Despite widespread international condemnation forits policy of violent repression against the Palestinian people in the Occupied Territories, the Israeli government appears impervious to moral appeals from world leaders. The major potential source of effective criticism, the United States, seems reluctant to act. However there are ways of exerting pressure from within Europe. Odd though it may appear, many national and European cultural and research institutions, including especially those funded from the EU and the European Science Foundation, regard Israel as a European state for the purposes of awarding grants and contracts. (No other Middle Eastern state is so regarded). Would it not therefore be timely if at both national and European level a moratorium was called upon any further such support unless and until Israel abide by UN resolutions and open serious peace negotiations with the Palestinians, along the lines proposed in many peace plans including most recently that sponsored by the Saudis and the Arab League.
