RESOLUTION 4:  Resolution on BDS

Submitted by: Melissa Weiner and Johnny E. Williams

WHEREAS, the vast majority of Palestinian civil society organizations have called on international civil, academic, and cultural communities to end complicity in Israel’s decades-old violations of Palestinian rights and to engage in non-violent pressure on Israel until it complies with international law and universal principles of human rights1, by meeting three demands:

1.) Ending its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands [occupied in 1967] and dismantling the Wall,

2.) Recognizing the fundamental rights of the Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality; and

3.) Respecting, protecting and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN resolution 1942,

And

WHEREAS, Palestinian academics face academic freedom violations in the form of inhibitions by the State of Israel from attending conferences, completing research, traveling outside of Palestine to earn degrees, and acquiring the most recent publications in the form of journals and books3,

And

WHEREAS, the State of Israel routinely violates the academic freedom of Palestinians students through harassment on their way to school at checkpoints and in public, attacks on schools using tear gas and rubber bullets, the bombing of higher educational institutions, raids of schools and arrests of faculty and students, invasion of campuses and killing of Palestinian students, arresting and detaining students, and defunding of schools created by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA4),

And

WHEREAS, some Israeli universities exist, in part or in full, on stolen Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in violation of international law5, And “Not a single Israeli academic institution has petitioned the Israeli government to protect Palestinian rights to education or to cease interference with and destruction of Palestinian schools and colleges…A boycott of academic institutions is the strongest message possible that Israel cannot claim normality and ask to be considered in the fold of democratic societies while maintaining an apartheid state and a brutal occupation6.”

And

WHEREAS, Palestinians living in Israel experience limits to their academic freedom through a racially segregated education system with overcrowded, underfunded, and fewer schools, fewer kindergartens, fewer Special Education programs for their children. This has resulted in Palestinian children in Israel experiencing higher dropout rates and lower pass rates for national exams required for entrance to higher education. Israeli courts have “never found the state to be in violation of the law or ordered it to end discriminatory practices7,”

And

WHEREAS, Israeli academic institutions are a key part of the ideological and institutional scaffolding of Israel’s regime of occupation, colonialism, and apartheid through the production of policies, programs, and technologies that enable and sustain these forms of oppression8,

And

WHEREAS, Israeli military authorities have closed Palestinian universities and destroyed cultural and academic institutions9,

And

WHEREAS, scholars, students, and student groups addressing human rights violations in Palestine and Israel are routinely harassed at US colleges and universities10,

And

WHEREAS, it is increasingly difficult for international academics (including US citizens) to be admitted into the occupied Palestinian territory as entry is dependent on Israeli approval and are repeatedly denied by Israeli military authorities, thereby severely compromising Palestinian universities’ ability to employ international faculty11,

And

WHEREAS, US tax dollars support the military repression and oppression of Palestinians in Israel, the occupied West Bank and Gaza12,

And

WHEREAS, Palestinian civil society organization have called on academic and professional organizations to engage in a boycott of Israeli universities for their complicity in Palestinian oppression13,

And

WHEREAS, the SSSP mission statement calls on us “to foster higher quality of life, social welfare, and positive social relations in society and the global community and to undertake any activity related thereto or necessary or desirable for the accomplishment of the foregoing purposes” alongside “strict adherence... to the protection of the right to engage in intellectual debates of all types without fear of censorship or retaliation14,”

And

WHEREAS, “SSSP is engaged in multiple avenues of social justice research and action” and “regularly participates in calls to action on various social justice issues15,”

And

WHEREAS, SSSP protects the rights of all scholars, students and faculty, to address the human rights violations in their scholarship and speak out against it without experiencing harassment, bullying, or consequences to their employment, scholarship, or rights to free speech,

And

WHEREAS, sociologists engaged in critical race and systemic white racism scholarship recognize the institutionalized power relations and structural violence16 inherent in the occupation as diametrically opposed to full equality in academia and academic freedom,

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, be it resolved, that the Society for the Study of Social Problems endorses the call for a boycott of complicit Israeli academic institutions articulated by our Palestinian colleagues17 until they end all forms of complicity in Israel’s grave human rights violations and publicly distance themselves from these violations

And

BE IT ALSO RESOLVED, that SSSP send a letter to the PACBI organization regarding our support of their resolution with ours18,

And

BE IT ALSO RESOLVED, that SSSP publicize these BDS Resolutions on the SSSP webpage,

And

BE IT ALSO RESOLVED, “recognizing that different actions may be feasible and appropriate under the many different academic and political circumstances that pertain in US institutions, SSSP will urge its members to undertake as many of the following initiatives as possible:

1. Support Palestinian academic and cultural institutions directly without requiring them to partner with Israeli counterparts as an explicit or implicit condition for such support;

2. Encourage your university and college administrations to institute funding for scholarships and fellowships for Palestinian students;

3. Refrain from participation in any form of academic and cultural cooperation, collaboration or joint projects with complicit Israeli institutions;

4. Promote divestment and disinvestment from Israel by academic institutions, and place pressure on your own institution to suspend all ties with Israeli universities, including collaborative projects, study abroad, funding and exchanges19
