If the American Sociological Association wants to stay out of politics and only stand up for university research, then perhaps it should at least be bothered that all 19 universities in Gaza have been decimated. Universities. Bombed. All of them.
- We should, in general, have an incredibly high bar for taking political stances in professional organizations, bc the benefit is almost never worth the many different kinds of costs
- Israel is perpetuating genocide in Gaza & genocide is one of the things that institutions should take stances on
