Palestinian Historians Group Responds to AHA Council Blocking Two Anti-Genocide Resolutions by Jadaliyya

We, the Palestinian Historians Group, reject the American Historical Association (AHA) Council’s antidemocratic decision on November 26, 2025 to unilaterally deny AHA members the right to vote on the  “Resolution in Solidarity with Gaza” and the “Resolution Opposing Attacks on Core Principles of Education.”

Both resolutions met the conditions specified in the association’s bylaws. By blocking two resolutions that name and condemn the genocide and scholasticide in the Occupied Gaza Strip, the AHA Council is complicit in genocide denial.
