Should Oral Historians Meet in an Occupied Land in 2014? On the Fallacy of ‘Engaging’ with the Israeli Academy | | Haim Bresheeth and Sherna Berger Gluck - CounterPunch - "Academics have been going to conferences in Israel, especially in Jerusalem, for five long decades of occupation, engaging with their Israeli counterparts. It’s bad enough that these engagements have resulted in nothing positive, but to make matters worse, they have become part and parcel of Israeli political strategy: more engagement, discussions, meetings, negotiations between the sides ad infinitum. The current phase of such fruitless exercises recently initiated by US Secretary of State John Kerry will likely join the others in the dustbin of history" | 23/9/2013 |

2nd letter to the 28 Member States of the EU on implementing guidelines | | ECCP - Israel is the only non-EU country to which the doors of the Horizon 2020 program have been open. Indeed, this considerable advantage is highly questionable, given that Israel is a State which violates international law, human rights and fundamental European Union principles every day. The European Union has taken conclusions and published Guidelines to which Israel needs to comply to enter Horizon 2020. Why should the EU renounce to its own principles to facilitate the acceptance by Israel of these huge advantages the EU intends to give them ? bz | 20/9/2013 |
