United States Campaign for an Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel

US campaign for academic boycott gaining strength


The United States Campaign for an Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel was formed in the immediate aftermath of Operation Cast Lead, bringing together educators of conscience who were unable to stand by and watch in silence Israel’s indiscriminate assault on the Gaza Strip and its educational institutions. Today, over 500 US-based academics, authors, artists, musicians, poets and other arts professionals have endorsed our call. 

US academics: join us in boycott call


As educators and scholars of conscience in the United States, we fully support the call for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel. We urge our colleagues, nationally, regionally, and internationally, to stand up against Israel’s ongoing scholasticide and to support the nonviolent call for academic boycott, disinvestment, and sanctions. The US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (USCACBI) outline their mission statement.
