Uppsala Declaration
We all want to move on with our lives, yet the violence continues. The killing continues. The occupation continues. The colonisation continues. More than 9,000 Palestinian hostages are still in Israeli detention. /1

Yes, they should correct this ambiguous post.
The FAQ of the uppsaladeclaration.se/faq/ mentions some universities but also this page academicsforpalestine.dk/academic-boy...; none of them is complete. My point being: Utrecht isn’t the first, they don’t use “boycott” in the official statement from May and they still have ongoing collabs.
Utrecht is not the first; 100 other universities have already cut ties, many long before; BDS reported about them. The rector only repeated an old decision from May at the semester opening. The decision is limited; it excludes many agreements, so collaborations with Israeli universities continue.

🧵We rewrote the unacceptable statement by @humboldt-foundation.de & @daadworldwide.bsky.social on Gaza & Israel. Our version names Israel’s atrocity crimes and centers human rights & justice. Read the statement by @christinebinzel.bsky.social, Michael Barenboim & me drive.google.com/file/d/1x6Aw...
They have "solved" the problem with a tiny update
A change in tone by German political parties is not enough, this shift must include addressing their part in repression of Palestinians and pro Palestinian voices

#uppsaladeclaration is growing in Germany. Read the report in @fr-zeitung.bsky.social and sign the call at uppsaladeclaration.se/germany/
After they withdrew those two contributions, also the entire programme disappeared from the armed forces university webpage without any statement. Not sure if they will issue any statement or hope that no one will ask about it.
First the two contributions from @boell.de were pulled back without public statement. Now, the entire event disappeared from the armed forces university webpage w/o any statement.
Was ist mit der Verantwortung jener Journalist*innen, die während des gesamten Genozids die Taten Israels durch perfide Fragestellungen legitimiert?
These statements came only after a massive IG campaign. www.instagram.com/p/DNBxJWlMNQh/
There was also a larger IG action by some folks: www.instagram.com/p/DNBxJWlMNQh
Reads like all the other statements they have given since the start of the genocide. People are killed, political settings are changed, but nobody wants to name WHO killed, or WHO changed the political settings. Its the usual way of being neutral in Germany.
Just a reminder that the Gunda-Werner-Institut is part of the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung the same foundation that distanced them from Masha Gessen after receiving the Hannah Arendt price. Siding next to a IDF Chief Instructor is, however, fine for them.

Die Unterzeichnenden sind aus Deutschland oder deutsche an ausländischen Universitäten (uppsaladeclaration.se/germany/). Die Erklärung ist angelehnt, an jene aus Schweden, die aber bereits über 2300+ Unterschriften hat (uppsaladeclaration.se).
Shai?
The initiative has recently also inspired German academics: uppsaladeclaration.se/germany/
Mex, ich habe nur sehr kritische, aber sachliche Nachfragen zu Ihrer Haltung und Ihrem Schweigen gesehen, keine Aggressionen oder persönlichen Angriffe. Sollte es solche geben gehören sie nicht in diesen Diskurs.
Lieber Max,
interessant, dass Sie Kritik oder auch nur das Stellen von Fragen an Ihr Schweigen bereits als Aggression empfinden.
Wie sagte Desmond Tutu so treffend: „Wenn du dich in Situationen der Ungerechtigkeit neutral verhältst, hast du dich auf die Seite des Unterdrückers gestellt."
There is now a spring-off initiative from Germany: uppsaladeclaration.se/germany/ [English: uppsaladeclaration.se/wp-content/u...
This view isn’t considered extreme in Germany. It’s even platformed by the trade union of German journalists @djv.de , see their statement: www.djv.de/news/pressem...
Wenn du dich ertappt fühlst, Max, musst du nicht gleich die Schulhofkarte ziehen. Reflexion heißt nicht Gummiwand, sondern Verantwortung.
