Reconsider Funding to Israel: Uphold Freedom of Expression
30 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!
The recent arrests of at least 100 Israelis for expressing solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza on social media, as reported by Adalah, a legal advocacy group, raises serious concerns about freedom of expression. With 70 individuals still in detention, this situation represents a significant infringement on democratic principles. Furthermore, 70 university students are facing disciplinary action or suspension due to their posts about the conflict. This crackdown on free speech is alarming and requires immediate attention. It is requested that funding to Israel be reconsidered and an immediate ceasefire be called for. This is not just about financial support, but about upholding the values of democracy and freedom of speech.
