Le LPL prend position : Boycott des institutions universitaires israéliennes

By lpl, 2 October, 2026

Les membres du Laboratoire Parole et Langage expriment leur indignation face au génocide en cours à Gaza, aux exactions liées à la colonisation en Cisjordanie et aux opérations militaires au Liban. Dans la lignée des organismes qui se sont déjà exprimés en faveur du boycott académique, nous souhaitons exprimer notre solidarité aux peuples palestiniens et libanais en rejoignant l’appel international au boycott des institutions universitaires israéliennes qui n’auraient pas pris position officiellement et publiquement contre le génocide et la colonisation en Cisjordanie.
