Thousands of university professors worldwide have joined Nobel Laureates Alexi Alexeyevich Abrikosov, Claude Cohen- Tannoudji, David Gross, Avram Hershko, Roald Hoffman, Daniel Kahneman, Eric Kandel, Arthur Kornberg, Roger Kornberg, Leon Lederman, Marshall Nirenberg, David Politzer, Steven Weinberg, Elie Wiesel and Frank Wilczek as well as Alan Dershowitz in endorsing the following solidarity statement with Israeli academics.

We are academics, scholars, researchers and professionals of differing religious and political perspectives. We all agree that singling out Israelis for an academic boycott is wrong. To show our solidarity with our Israeli academics in this matter, we, the undersigned, hereby declare ourselves to be Israeli academics for purposes of any academic boycott. We will regard ourselves as Israeli academics and decline to participate in any activity from which Israeli academics are excluded.

The petition which has gained over 3000 signatures in 3 days hopes to gather over 10,ooo academic signatures with the knowledge that if every academic receiving the SPME Faculty Forum signed, that goal would be reached immediately with over 12,000 on the subscription roles. If you haven’t signed the petition, please do so immediately by clicking here.

Many of statement signers and others have written to ask how they can help with this effort. SPME is trying to raise funds to place these statements strategically. Please click here to make a contribution to support this effort to get the statement and signers in major papers throughout the world.
