Neve Gordon (Hebrew: ניב גורדון; born 1965) is an Israeli professor[1] and fellow of the British academy of social sciences.

A third-generation Israeli, Gordon completed his military service in an IDF Paratrooper unit, suffering severe injuries in action at Rosh Hanikra which left him with a disability.

[6] In 2009, after Gordon wrote an article for the Los Angeles Times supporting a boycott of Israel and calling Israel an apartheid state,[5] Rivka Carmi, the president of Ben-Gurion University, declared that "academics who feel that way about their country are invited to look for different professional and personal accommodation", and right-wing organisations demanded that his department be closed.

[8] Gordon wrote in a Los Angeles Times editorial on August 20, 2009, that he had decided to support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel movement.

[5] This led to threats by some US donors to withhold funds from Ben-Gurion University, and to a heated debate within Israel over the rights of academics to freedom of expression.

The President of the university, Professor Rivka Carmi, said, "We are appalled by Dr. Neve Gordon's irresponsible remarks, that morally deserve to be completely and utterly condemned.

[10] Religious Affairs Minister Ya'akov Margi called on the university to immediately suspend Gordon from his job and to publicly condemn his article.
