Sous le cri de ralliement « The Elephant in the room » ( littéralement « L’Eléphant dans la pièce », une expression anglaise idiomatique et métaphorique désignant un sujet important et très sensible, dont chacun peut constater l’existence, mais que personne n’ose aborder), ils ont exhorté leurs pairs, d’une rive à l’autre de l’Atlantique, à faire cause commune sous la même bannière.
Unique dans les annales, leur appel vibrant a rapidement trouvé un large écho dans la sphère académique la plus prestigieuse, notamment auprès d’enseignants de Harvard, Columbia, Yale ou encore l’Université Hébraïque de Jérusalem.
En l’espace de quelques jours, ils sont plus de 900 signataires à avoir apposé leur sceau sur un texte qui dénonce les violations massives des droits des Palestiniens, le sort toujours plus effroyable que leur inflige le gouvernement ultra-sioniste et fasciste de Netanyahou, et la réforme judiciaire en cours de sinistre augure.
Plusieurs des premiers signataires de l’appel sont des opposants de la première heure à l’occupation israélienne et au funeste nettoyage ethnique à l’oeuvre, tels les Israéliens Nurit Peled et Avram Burg, ou l’Américain juif Peter Beinar.
Nous diffusons leur appel que le site Europalestine a été le premier à publier et à traduire en français :

Editorial Note
A few days ago, anti-Israeli academics circulated a petition titled “The Elephant in the Room.”
Since 2004, the IAM’s has analyzed scores of similar writings. They are all based on the dominant neo-Marxist, critical paradigm alternatively known as postmodernism. It offers several claims: the traditional positivist school of thought, which emphasized objectivity and facts, is a cover-up for Western dominance; scholars have a duty to expose these “falsehoods” and craft an alternative historical narrative. In the new narrative, the Palestinians are considered the blameless victims of Western colonialism, with Israel being the modern colonial manifestation – an apartheid state.
With wealthy Arab states pouring money into Western academic institutions, and the new paradigm taking over, Israeli academics who wanted to advance their careers had to fit in. Israeli academics had to produce anti-Israel scholarships to be accepted. For example, Prof. Neve Gordon was invited to UC Berkeley by Prof. Nezar AlSayyad. Prof. Ariella Azoulay was recruited to Brown University by Prof. Beshara Doumani. Prof. Ilan Pappe was recruited to the Exeter University European Center for Palestinian Studies. In 2002, Prof. Oren Yift
