Towers of Ivory and Steel: How Israeli Universities Deny Palestinian Freedom by Maya Wind considers Israeli universities’ relationship to and advancement of the Israeli government’s policies of apartheid and displacement against Palestinians. Through this study, Wind seeks to discredit two oft-cited arguments about Israeli universities: first, that they are paragons of academic freedom and democratic practices in a region otherwise hostile to these virtues, and second, that Israeli academics and university administrators should be seen as distinct from and potentially opposed to the Israeli government’s treatment of Palestinians. In contrast, Wind shows first that Israeli universities, administrators, and academics are deeply embedded in apartheid and occupation and second that university operations, curricula, research, and geographic expansion are deliberately crafted to dispossess, discredit, exclude, and terrorize Palestinians and critics of the state of Israel.
