Spanish University Network Demands End to Ties with Israel

• The University Network for Palestine (RUxP) issued an appeal calling for the severance of all diplomatic, commercial, and institutional ties with Israel.
• The network argues that the ongoing situation in Gaza represents a systemic crisis of capitalism and a failure of international law.
• The organization highlights the "israelization of the West" and the "palestinization of the world" as key defining characteristics of the current historical moment.

Findings of the People's Tribunal

• In November 2025, the People's Tribunal on Complicity with the Palestinian Genocide in the Spanish State concluded that:
  • The extermination of the Palestinian people relies on the collaboration of Spanish government bodies, companies, and organizations.
  • The same entities implicated in these policies are also responsible for domestic issues such as evictions, habitat destruction, and resource exploitation.
  • Science and academia cannot remain neutral in the face of genocide, as they are often linked to war-driven profit models.

Recommended Actions

• Scientific communities should refuse to develop dual-use technology for war or contribute to genocide.
• Media and public debate should focus on challenging the "media blackout" and spreading awareness of the reality in Palestine.
• Institutions should be forced to adopt human rights policies that require the immediate cessation of all cooperation with Israeli entities.
• Activists are encouraged to organize pedagogical materials to defend against systematic accusations of antisemitism used to censor pro-Palestinian advocacy.
• Direct pressure should be applied to employers to audit contracts for connections to complicit firms or those involved in international human rights violations.
