Terence Tao on the suspension of UCLA grants

Every phd student of Terence Tao is probably welcome at the Max Planck Institute For Mathematics:

Usually you need 2 letters of recommendation, I’d strongly assume that in the case of Tao one is enough.

Generally please consider the new „ Max Planck Transatlantic Program“:

How is that going to help?

Germany has an even lower threshold for criticism of Israel and organized Judaism than the US.

Mainland Europe (excluding Germany) is generally way more pro-Palestinian than the US. However that doesn't extend to our institutions. Case in point: Dutch riot police brutally beating up University of Amsterdam students for setting up UCLA/Columbia-style tent blockades.

If you're an American academic or student you can come to Europe and continue both your work and pro-Palestinian activism within the Overton window of mainstream European consensus on the two-state solution. Anything that is more radical than that might get you in the same level of trouble or worse than the US.

Basically Europe is a non-solution for pro-Palestinian American academics and students.
