The resolution, which says Israel's military campaign 'has effectively obliterated Gaza's education system,' calls for a permanent ceasefire and for forming a committee to help rebuild 'Gaza's educational infrastructure.'
Before members voted, they heard a structured debate on the resolution that included five people speaking for and five against it, resulting in raucous applause for advocates and muted claps for opponents.
One member, Rice University associate professor Abdel Razzaq Takriti, accused the association's executive director of having made 'a political statement' against the resolution in his report at the meeting.
The resolution opposing 'scholasticide' in Gaza was approved with a significant vote of 428 to 88 during the American Historical Association's annual conference.
