      If you support (or signed) the Harper's letter, don't invoke me as an example of somebody who was "cancelled." My academic career was systematically destroyed by the same institutional forces the vast majority of signatories uphold (and from which they benefit).

      If the letter had meant to be in support of people punished for criticizing Israel, its authors would have invoked Zionism as the biggest threat to free speech in the West. They didn't, because the majority are themselves Zionist.

      In fact, they're little concerned with "free speech." What really has them worked up is a perceived decline of Western civilization, of which Zionism is part and parcel. It's a dull, insidious lament as old as modernity itself.

      I'm sorry to keep this conversation going. I know I shouldn't, but I feel the need to make clear that people who use my name to rationalize the letter do it without my agreement.

      (Addendum for those academics invoking me as a victim of "cancel culture": instead of signing/praising a letter nobody asked for [amid a revolt of the dispossessed], why don't you get me a fucking job at your institution if you care so much about my well-being?)

          And can talk about how Chomsky, whom I don't even mention and in fact carefully exclude from the charge of hypocrisy, keeps making himself available as an authority figure for white liberals to beat us over the head with whenever we step out of line?pic.twitter.com/AJKYs77tm3

          Academics write these self-important letters all the time. They never amount to a hill of beans and in two more days will be completely forgotten.

          Have I ever told y’all about the time the University of Illinois fired a guy for saying premarital sex is okay and opted to retain a Bircher who claimed after JFK was killed that he was a secret communist murdered by communists for not making America communist fast enough?

          I would if I could! Sadly I care too much (about students, research, being a human) to got into admin. If I ever get a slush fund though I'll offer you a guest speaker spot.

          That’s a good one, I was thinking that myself. I find it quite telling that @noamchomskyT an ally and defender of Norman Finkelstein during his debacle does not distinguish between being cancelled, and one’s career being totally obliterated for just one measly tweet.
