Academic Boycott
While the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip has significantly impacted Palestinians' right to education, Israeli academia has remained conspicuously silent and continues to play a role in the system of oppression. As Israeli Professor Oren Ben-Dor wrote, "The academic boycott is central to starting the process of Israeli self-examination that is a core prerequesite to a resolution of the conflict."

The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel was launched in Ramallah in April 2004 by a group of Palestinian academics and intellectuals to join the growing international boycott movement. The Campaign built on the Palestinian call for a comprehensive economic, cultural and academic boycott of Israel issued in August 2002 and a statement made by Palestinian academics and intellectuals in the occupied territories and in the Diaspora calling for a boycott of Israeli academic institutions in October 2003.
