PACBI advocates for a boycott of Israeli academic and cultural institutions, based on their continued complicity in Israel\u2019s denial of Palestinian rights as stipulated by international law.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solidarity with PACBI means that SKOL will not collaborate, fund, or accept funding from the Israeli government or related funding bodies, and calls for a boycott of all cultural and academic products that normalize the state of Israel. We acknowledge that based on our organizational scale, these demands are not difficult to carry out. However we believe that it is important to consider such stances within the context of the ongoing genocide in Palestine.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We strongly encourage Montreal-based artistic groups, cultural workers, and artists to publicly support these demands and share this commitment with their members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn more about PACBI, see<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdsmovement.net\/pacbi\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.bdsmovement.net\/pacbi&nbsp;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24939\" src=\"https:\/\/skol.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Illustration-PACBI-06.jpg\" alt=\"Raising hands for the Palestinian people\" width=\"240\" height=\"250\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SKOL joins the PACBI movement in solidarity with the Palestinian people<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24933,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[113],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
