Organisation of American Historians votes to condemn Israeli 'scholasticide' in Gaza
The largest professional society for the teaching and study of American history has overwhelmingly passed a resolution condemning Israel's "scholasticide" in Gaza.
The prestigious Organisation of American Historians (OAH), which publishes the Journal of American History, passed the resolution on Saturday 8 April at an OAH business meeting in Chicago.
A decisive majority of 104 members voted for the motion - with only 25 opposing it.
The Israeli military has bombed and mostly destroyed all 12 universities in Gaza and hundreds of primary and secondary schools.
More than 200 heritage sites, including mosques, churches and libraries, have been destroyed.
