Salaita's “Support for Israel . . . exists in sites of authority, often an omnipresent but invisible accoutrement to swivel chairs, mineral water, and mahogany tables.” No lies detected. Anti-Zionist Jews experience this too, Talia, seems you would know about it.

I am a branch of the DSA, we democratically decided to endorse BDS and have tons of Jewish members. We don't stand for antisemitism or islamophobia, and this article is bad.

Yep I saw that. Really trying to highlight Salaita's quote, he's being used as an example of antisemitism when that's not the case here. Zionism in politics and academia is very prevalent, people who criticize it wave their careers goodbye every day. This is not abt Jews imo
