The Students’ Representative Council motion expresses "solidarity with the Palestinian people living under an Apartheid state" and supports the Palestinian call for BDS "to achieve freedom, justice and equality for Palestinians."

The historic vote makes the AAA the largest academic association to endorse the Palestinian call to boycott Israeli academic institutions complicit in Israel’s regime of military occupation, settler colonialism and apartheid.

"Principled stands such as the AAA’s bring us closer to a future of freedom, justice and equality for all Palestinians."

As Palestinians continue to resist the increasingly oppressive policies of colonization, military occupation, and apartheid by the most right-wing and racist government in Israel's history, effective solidarity with their struggle for freedom, justice, and equality continues to grow.
