[Follow up] "Shin Bet and university, university and Shin Bet. What does that remind me of?" ...
Prof. Idan Landau discusses how Israeli academics' collaboration with the state compromises academic freedom and values by facilitating state surveillance and oppression, particularly of Palestinians. This collaboration also normalizes practices reminiscent of dictatorial regimes (e.g., the #Stasi) and makes universities such as Tel Aviv and Bar Ilan complicit in human rights abuses.
From Prof. Landau's 2021 post:
[...] Did you know that secret research is conducted in Israeli universities, under the auspices and for the benefit of the Shin Bet, the results of which are kept at the Shin Bet headquarters and are not open to public review? Again, more slowly: there are people who use the university's research resources for years, receive a doctorate from it with all the tangible and symbolic capital that goes with it, without leaving any documented trace behind, because all their work is absolutely secret? Read, for example, about the mysterious doctorate written by former Shin Bet member, Dr. Nachman Tal, at the University of Haifa, on "Changes in Security Policy towards the Arab Minority 1948-1967," in the Department of the History of the Jewish People at the University of Haifa. How much of the process was a standard academic process? Well: "The Shin Bet set several preconditions. The work will be defined as 'classified.' That is, it will not be published for public review... Towards the date of the examination of the work, the university submitted to the Shin Bet a list of candidates for the position of judges. The Shin Bet disqualified some of them, and others, who were found to have the appropriate security clearance, were approved."
Here are several examples of collaboration between Israeli academia and security services:
- Joint Programs and Investments:
The Shin Bet and Tel Aviv University collaborate to identify start-ups, with TAU Ventures investing $50,000 in each of the six selected start-ups for "acceleration" within a program called The #Xcelerator: Tel Aviv University helps the Shin Bet develop more sophisticated espionage and surveillance technologies"
- University-Security Career Fairs:
Universities allow Shin Bet representatives to attend career fairs as if they were recruitment companies: "All the universities open their gates to Shin Bet representatives who come to 'career meetings' as if they were placement companies in its service."
Transfer of Graduate Information:
Universities provide the Shin Bet with lists of graduates, including names, ID numbers, and contact information: "The universities transfer to the Shin Bet lists with the names of graduates, ID numbers and ways to contact them."
Prof. Landau in fact questions how this aligns with privacy laws, noting the Shin Bet interprets the law to allow them to "receive information for the purpose of fulfilling its role," which they extend to include recruitment: "The law exempts the Shin Bet... and allows the Shin Bet to 'receive information for the purpose of fulfilling its role,' and the Shin Bet interprets this also as information that will help them recruit manpower."
- Secret Research: see opening quote
- Monitoring of Arab Students:
University security departments monitor Arab activists, both on campus and on social networks, with the approval of the administration: "It is well known that in all the campuses the security departments conduct ongoing monitoring of Arab activists, on the ground and also on social networks, and things come to threats and harassment, all with the approval and with the blind eye of the administration."
- Tel Aviv University asking help from the faculty to identify students during the 2011 protests:
"Tel Aviv University then sent a letter to the lecturers in which it asked for their help in identifying and handing over students from their departments (what Stas!i), who participate in protest activities on campus; a video documenting a student demonstration was attached to the letter, in order to make it easier for the lecturers to do the work of informing."
Idan Landau was born in the US, immigrated to Israel in 1969, and served as an IDF officer (1985-1989). He earned degrees from Tel Aviv University and MIT, specializing in generative syntax. A professor of Linguistics at Tel Aviv University since 2023, he has been imprisoned multiple times for refusing to serve in the occupied territories, causing a media controversy in 2011 when his salary was docked for this reason.
Quoting Eviatar Rubin, a student, who spoke at the May 21 protest in Antin Square against the war and the killing of innocent people in Gaza:
[…] Since the beginning of the war, over 50,000 people have already been murdered in Gaza, when we know that at least 80% of them are civilians. This is without mentioning the destruction of infrastructure, homes, hospitals and schools and the massive starvation. This is a concentration camp where systematic and murderous extermination is taking place. And Tel Aviv University, which enjoys pretending to be 'opposition to the regime,' remains silent.
Rubin contends that Tel Aviv University displays hypocrisy by advocating for academic freedom and democratic values when its own interests are at stake, yet remains silent or actively suppresses opposition to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
Beyond mere silence, the institution actively suppresses dissent by relocating student protests, excluding activists like David Margalit from campus, and pressuring faculty against speaking on topics deemed outside the consensus.
The university’s partnerships with military industries and government entities make it complicit in the ongoing military operations, which is even worse.

Manchmal gelingt es frühmorgens den #Tau im #Sonnenlicht im Bild einzufangen, aber meist geht etwas Brillianz verloren. Außerdem habe ich meist auch einen Filter auf dem #Objektiv.

A good amount of progress on stream, 2 Firewarriors squads and cadre fireblade on the desk just now but a dry pit of incubi darkness slowed it down a little.

After months of anticipation, so happy to have finally received my Tau-shirts. Now I can promote the only constant we should ever need to describe circle ratios, just by wearing a shirt! #tau
