How UofT can not only have a visiting professor from a state committing genocide and murdering children EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK come and teach, but teach on a topic that IGNORES Israel's crimes and pretends there are economic lessons they can teach us. UofT must CANCEL this course.

The professor invited by UBC describes his work as an "archaeology of military occupation”, cites Foucault, but does not see the contradictions of working on an archaeological site built on ruins of an ethnically cleansed Palestinian village and next to one of the largest prisons for Palestinians👇

When I was under 1, my dad was arrested in the UK. As was the standard procedure, he had the beating of his life and was left on a cell floor to reflect on the errors of his ways. He got 3 years in a max security jail. One of the men arrested with him died on hunger strike.

What happens when the university you work for allows genociders to work alongside you and to teach students? Is the university also complicit when they allowed this Engineering professor to make several trips, to murder innocent women, children, men in Palestine, and to return to teach in Toronto?

🐦🔎 Complicit Israeli universities in their own words: On Oct. 30, 2023, HUJI put out a video on their youtube page entitled "Research During War". In this video, we notably get a sense of how not only Israeli, but also international students play a role in the country's genocidal machinery.

At UNB, professors and students were surveilled for Palestine solidarity because, per campus security, the university is the President’s “house.” “If I tell my kids my kids you can’t do this, I don’t need to write it down… He’s the President and he can set the rules.”

UofT has not funded or supported Palestinian scholars-at-risk (like they did for Ukranians feeling Russia). The data suggests that, rather than divesting or cutting ties with Israeli institutions, UofT is hardening its position and increasing collaborations with Israel [3/3]
