Right To Education: In The Media:

"The Israeli army raided Palestinian university campuses, killed, injured and arrested students and faculty. The Israeli occupation authorities denied Palestinian academics freedom of movement, of travel and of academic development. For three years the main road leading to Birzeit University, for instance, was closed to vehicles, and all faculty and students were systematically harassed and humiliated at the military checkpoint cutting the road. Not one Israeli university announced its condemnation of this clear infringement of our academic freedom. Most universities in fact sponsored or sanctioned 'research' supporting aspects of this occupation far worse than this.

This shows that Israeli universities are guilty of supporting their government acts; hence they should not be enjoying the freedom that they are denying others. "
