Harvard University faculty and officers issue an open letter in support of the Harvard Crimson’s endorsement of BDS, and student efforts to oppose Israeli apartheid. They write to counter a faculty letter deploring the Crimson endorsement in which “the only violence mentioned is that of antisemitism, the only threat identified is to the Jewish national project, and the only vulnerability named is that faced by ‘Jewish and Zionist students.’”
Sara Roy challenges the German parliament over its resolution equating boycott of Israel and anti-Semitism: “I lost a large extended family to fascism and racism. By endorsing the motion that alleges that BDS is anti-Semitic, you are criminalizing the right to free speech and dissent and those who choose to exercise it, which is exactly how fascism takes root.”
