    Jeet Heer Retweeted Joshua Leifer

    I agree that many of the people who take up free speech are indifferent or hostile to unpopular speech on Israel/Palestine. But that's not universally true (see Chomsky or @conor64). And the people it is true of can properly be charged with dishonesty & hypocrisy.https://twitter.com/joshualeifer/status/1280557909177446403 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Joshua Leifer @joshualeifer
    I think it is worth saying—yes, again—that the great lacuna of the self-appointed free-speech warriors is Israel-Palestine

        I have a few thoughts on driving cross-country through the desert, hot coffee, speed bumps, parades, Cape Feare celebrating Hannibal crossing the Alps, rakes, and the action of a third-class lever:

        What about JK Rowling who signed it because she doesn’t like to get called a TERF?

        She is also a Zionist, I believe. She opposes BDS and has had nothing to say about basic human rights for Palestinians.

        Replying to @HeerJeet @conor64

        do you not think the meaning of the letter would change if it were authored and signed by, e.g. solely Chomsky as opposed to being signed by a number of censorious Israel supporters?

      1. so what, big deal‏ @ddrenle 7 Jul 2020
        Replying to @HeerJeet @conor64

        does it not concern you even slightly that those are generally the same people who wrote and signed onto this letter? that your co-signers are largely people who can be charged with dishonesty and hypocrisy, and they considered this statement of principles amenable to them?

        Why sign a letter with people who clearly are full of this hypocrisy?

        a good way to avoid being charged with hypocrisy, then, would be to avoid lending credence to people whom you to know to be hypocrites
