Academia for Equality Calls on Czech Institute to Reconsider Platforming Ariel University

We have sent an official letter to the Institute of Politics and Society expressing our concerns about the inclusion of representatives of Ariel University in the upcoming Czech-Israeli University Conference.

We call for adherence to international law and transparency in representing the facts.
