SPME Petition 11

A Petition to Call For An Expression Of Thanks To The Italian Government For Removing A Conspiratorial Anti-Semitic Website Targeting 162 Academics and Others

We, the undersigned college and university professors from around the world, wish to thank the Italian government for removing the website that targeted 162 academics and others as being part of a "Zionist " lobby in Italian academia after they signed the Scholars for Peace in the Middle East petition protesting the proposed boycott of Israeli academics by British university college faculty unions.

We stand in solidarity with and thank those colleagues from Italy, of different faiths and ethnicities, to let them know that they are not alone and that, as scholars, we have an obligation to stand against racism and anti-semitism.

We have learned from history that when intolerance and racial hatred is allowed to permeate academia, tyranny will prevail. The Italian government is to be commended for having learned the lessons of history.

Please sign and circulate this petition to as many colleagues as you can so that we can get 5000 signatures as soon as possible.

Many thanks.
