JVL Introduction
As 21 Fellows of the British Academy make clear in a letter of protest, Leeds university’s attempt to strip Prof James Dickins of his Emeritus Professorship is entirely without foundation.
It is a violation of due process and of the University’s duties to protect and foster both free speech and academic freedom.
He is being attacked solely for his pro-Palestinian views.
Please read the argument below and sign the appeal that this punitive action be cancelled forthwith.

Zionists are still trying to exert their wicked influence in all kinds of areas. It is important that we recognise this and call it out.
University managements in the USA and UK over the past several years have become terrified of press, wealthy donors, over-powerful lobbies, pressure groups, institutions of almost all kinds. Their timidity has also been shown in refusals to support research deemed to be too “controversial” in a number of fields of study. That notorious old trahison des clercs.
