Michael Eisen says his dismissal was due to his sharing the satirical article.
A Jewish editor in chief of a science journal says he was fired from his position after sharing an article on the siege in Gaza from the satirical website The Onion.
Michael Eisen, who edits the Cambridge-based science journal eLife, on Monday shared the news of his dismissal on X (formerly Twitter).
Eisen, who is also a geneticist at the University of California, Berkeley, had shared an Onion article titled “Dying Gazans Criticized for Not Using Last Words to Condemn Hamas.”
“Every sane person on Earth is horrified and traumatized by what Hamas did and wants it to never happen again,” he clarified in a later tweet. “All the more so as a Jew with Israeli family. But I am also horrified by the collective punishment already being meted out on Gazans, and the worse that is about to come.”
To protest Eisen’s firing, fellow editor Lara Urban also announced her resignation on Monday afternoon.

Looked that up because I didn’t know what it was. I think maybe you named the wrong name? Russell’s Paradox is some set theory mumbo jumbo.
“The set of all sets which do not contain themselves.”
Ah, yeah. That makes sense. I’m just dumb, lol.
We’re all dumb, some of us are just self aware enough to realize it.
Who is upvoting this? Russell’s Paradox is about groups containing all the members that don’t belong to said group.
Not the Onion hosting an article about the effect of The Onion is humorously close to that.
No, but also yes.
OK, so am I smart ape? Is this the definition? Did I crack the case?
