Freedom Of Expression Under Attack In Israeli Universities With Bill Banning Political Activity Of Palestinian Students


(MENAFN- Palestine News Network ) Tel Aviv / PNN/

Freedom of expression in Israeli universities has come under serious attack with the approval of the Israeli Ministerial Committee for Legislation last night of a draft law aimed at banning the Political activity of Palestinian students in Israeli universities under the pretext of“supporting terrorist organizations."

The bill, submitted by Knesset member Limor Son Har-Melech of the racist Otzma Yehudit party, calls for closing a student organization in the university that expresses support for“a terrorist act or activity or a terrorist organization.”

The Israeli Minister of Education, Yoav Kish, claimed that academic institutions have become“a central platform for incitement” against Israel.

Palestinian students in Israeli universities are heavily involved in protests held on campuses against racist and brutal Israeli measures in the occupied territories.
