PREFACE: There is no university that has pure academic freedom. Politically - the freedom of speech has limits both nationally and internationally. There is no academic freedom in the West Bank or Gaza Strip.
(COMMENT)
So, let us be specific. BSD has been politically weaponized. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (CCPR)
◈ By virtue of that right, they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.◈ All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development. Nearly every nation has an obligation to the protection of national security or of public order, or of public health or morals.◈ Any advocacy of national, racial, or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility, or violence shall be prohibited by law.
