Teachers and students in Israel are called academics. They often work with people from other countries. They share ideas and do projects together. This helps everyone learn new things.
But things are different now because of the war in Gaza. Many universities in Europe decided to boycott Israeli universities. This means they will not work with them anymore. The schools are making this choice to protest the war.
Now, the Israeli academics feel very isolated. They cannot join new projects or share their work easily. Even though there is a cease-fire, the problems continue. They feel alone in the world of learning.
