Such violations have been extensively documented by major human rights organizations, including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and B’Tselem. This is a cruel act of collective punishment that human rights groups and humanitarian organizations describe as a clear violation of international law. As scholars of the Middle East and North Africa, we are concerned about the global rise of racism, including antisemitism. We are committed to advancing rigorous knowledge production about the Middle East and to ensuring that our classrooms remain welcoming places to students of all backgrounds.
