BRICUP - British Committee for the Universities of Palestine

BRICUP is an organisation of UK based academics, set up in response to the Palestinian Call for Academic Boycott. Its twin missions are:

- to support Palestinian universities, staff and students.

- to oppose the continued illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands with its concomitant breaches of international conventions of human rights, its refusal to accept UN resolutions or rulings of the International Court, and its persistent suppression of Palestinian academic freedom.

The construction of the Israeli wall across and through Palestinian land in flagrant violation of the rulings of the International Court and despite international condemnation, notably from the EU, is making everyday life, to say nothing of teaching and research, ever more difficult for our Palestinian colleagues.

I Acknowledge That Apartheid Exists

The "I Acknowledge Apartheid Exists" group on Facebook seeks to raise awareness that Israel's occupation of and actions in Palestine constitute Apartheid; It seeks to bring recognition to the fact that Palestinians are subject to different laws and standards than Israelis.

I Acknowledge Apartheid Exists promotes the narrative that Palestinians deserve the same rights and liberties that Israeli's enjoy.
