Film
In 2021, Just Vision released a documentary film titled “Boycott,” which deals with anti-BDS laws and anti-boycott laws in America. The film follows three Americans who sued their state governments after they terminated their business contracts because they refused to sign pledges not to boycott Israel.
The documentary was directed by Julia Bacha, who has previously made critical films about the Israeli occupation, often in collaboration with Just Vision. “Boicot” aims to refute dangerous mainstream narratives, inform the public, and inspire communities to take action.
For those who wish to host a screening of “Boycott,” Just Vision provides resources and materials to facilitate discussion and further engagement.

book
Towers of Ivory and Steel: How Israeli Universities Deny Palestinian Freedom is a book by Maya Wind that critically examines the role of Israeli universities in the oppression of Palestinians. The book argues that these institutions are not, as is often assumed, bastions of freedom and democracy, but rather are deeply involved in maintaining the Israeli occupation and apartheid.
Wind's research shows how academic disciplines, degree programs, campus infrastructure, and research laboratories at Israeli universities serve to support the Israeli state's policies of oppression, while simultaneously suppressing critical scholarship and dissenting opinions from students and faculty.
The book has garnered much attention and praise for its thorough research and sharp criticism. It is described as a paradigm-shifting work that offers a detailed and forensic examination of the role of Israeli universities in the ongoing conflict.
For those interested in learning more about the subject, Towers of Ivory and Steel is recommended for its comprehensive presentation and detailed arguments.
