The Academic Boycott Strategy That Can Significantly Impact Israel

Boaz Golany, Rivka Carmi

Professors Boaz Golany and Rivka Carmi emphasize that combating the academic boycott doesn’t demand substantial investments. Instead, it requires mobilizing the right entities within Israel, meticulous planning informed by knowledge and an understanding of essential actions. This includes proactively establishing and maintaining collaborations with relevant international parties, a dedicated foreign relations and lobbying system, and most importantly, a sustained commitment to the struggle over the years. All these efforts can be achieved with relatively modest budgets, given timely implementation.
