    Man, they could have made the letter something that would persuade people about the importance of ideas and how no nation is a monolith, but they just couldn’t help but make it a blatantly “Israel is right” letter.

    “We continue to be shocked and disappointed to see members of the literary community harass and ostracise their colleagues because they don’t share a one-sided narrative in response to the greatest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.

    “Israel is fighting existential wars against Hamas and Hezbollah…"

    Someone here is obfuscating reality, and it’s not the boycotters. These people are insane.

      They are actually insane.

      This is like the Nazis, while operating death camps saying that the Nazis are the ones facing genocide.

        It’s a well-worn propaganda tactic, unfortunately. Well-worn because it’s effective.
