Teknokultura’s Statement in Support of Academic BDS and Against the Genocide in Palestine

As a journal committed to critical thinking and social justice, Teknokultura stands in solidarity with the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israeli academic institutions. These universities are not neutral spaces of knowledge; they are key pillars of apartheid, settler colonialism, and the genocide Israel is waging against the Palestinian people. Their deep entanglement with the Israeli state’s military and political apparatus has been extensively documented, revealing their role in legitimizing and perpetuating occupation and systemic oppression. Teknokultura reaffirms its commitment to producing knowledge that does not serve as a tool of genocide. We refuse to remain indifferent or to normalize violence. We call on the academic community to take a principled stance, to challenge the structures of knowledge production that sustain occupation and oppression, and to join the BDS movement as a concrete act of solidarity and resistance.
