The Association of Palestinian and Jewish Academics (PJA), together with the Alliance for Critical and Solidary Scholarship (KRISOL) and the German Middle East Studies Association Committee on Academic Freedom (DAVO/GFW), has today released a public statement regarding the recent cancellation of the lecture The Targeting of the Palestinian Academia at LMU Munich.
The statement criticizes the university’s decision as a violation of academic freedom, highlights the broader context of political pressure surrounding the event, and calls for the protection of open scholarly debate—particularly on issues affecting Palestinian academic life.
