ACADEMIC BOYCOTT: SHIN BET TRAINING PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS 
ACADEMIC COMPLICITY WITH OCCUPATION
Jonathan Cook, The Electronic Intifada, 31 May 2006

The Shin Bet is possibly best known for its
interrogation methods when extracting confessions from
detainees. As Kimmerling notes, the most likely result
will be a âprofessional studiesâ programme relating to
the Shin Betâs work. Such arrangements are nothing new
in Israeli academia, Kimmerling points out. There are
strong ties between the universities and the defence
industry because âsome university staff join academia
after [military] service and careers in the defense
establishment, and not all of them manage to âgo
civilianâ.â

Human Rights
ISRAELI AUTHORITIES DEPORT AL-HAQ HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDER
Press Release, Al-Haq, 31 May 2006

In the late afternoon of 28 May 2005, Al-Haq human
rights defender and American citizen Maureen Murphy
arrived at Ben Gurion airport in Israel, on her way
back from the USA to Ramallah in the Occupied
Palestinian Territories (OPT). She was questioned,
denied entry into Israel, declared persona non grata
and deported on a plane at 00:55 am on 29 May.
Maureen's case is emblematic of an increasing pattern
of international human rights defenders being denied
access to the OPT.
