The crackdown on pro-Palestinian speech at Western universities mirrors repression found in undemocratic regimes, as institutions fail to uphold academic freedom.
Despite ethical commitments, many Western universities suppress support for Palestinians, serving instead the interests of a government backing a campaign deemed potentially genocidal.
Universities label their actions as upholding neutrality, yet they impose a paternalism that homogenizes Jewish opinions, limiting diverse academic expressions on campuses.
Evidence including an open letter from BRISMES highlights institutional repression related to pro-Palestinian activism, showcasing events canceled and investigations against dissenting voices.
