Hebrew media: Anti-Israel pressures are bearing fruit.
The news website of the newspaper Calcalist wrote in a report on this matter: Victory for the boycott movement: For the first time, the suspension of the membership of an Israeli academic association in an international organization has been carried out.
According to the Hebrew-language media outlet, the World Sociological Association announced at the end of last week that it had suspended the membership of the Israeli Sociological Association for its failure to condemn the Israeli invasion of Gaza.
The decision does not affect individual Israeli sociologists, but there are concerns that the move could set a dangerous precedent for other academic associations to copy.
The news report continues, stating that this is the first time that an Israeli academic association has been suspended from an international organization, and there are concerns that this move could set a dangerous precedent for other academic associations. International cooperation is a fundamental condition for academic success and quality.
According to available information, the International Sociological Association has previously only taken similar action against the Russian association after it announced its support for the invasion of Ukraine.
