Taking place in the midst of Israel‘s war on Gaza -- which had already mobilized SOAS students to organize a number of activities in solidarity with Gaza, including the first student occupation in the UK -- students and a number of lecturers expressed their opposition to the lecture series.

PACBI Statement

The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) is writing to urge you not to accept Israeli government funding for the hosting of a one-month series of new Israeli films beginning in June 2009. We understand that the program for the film series indicates that it is being organized in cooperation with the Israeli embassy in Switzerland. Collaborating with the Israeli government just as Israel ended its bloody war against the occupied Gaza Strip, would be tantamount to endorsement of the heinous war crimes it has committed and is still committing in Gaza.
