I’ve written a new piece —"The American Psychological Association and the Weaponization of Antisemitism"—in which I describe APA's failure to (1) reject the weaponization of antisemitism, and (2) stand strongly in support of Palestinian rights, dignity, and freedom. royeidelson.com/the-american...

A very misleading open letter/petition from "Psychologists Against Antisemitism" accuses the American Psychological Association of "systemic" and "virulent" antisemitism. I’ve written a brief response to these outrageous accusations:

My latest: "This is the time to overcome the fear of reprisals and the lure of expediency, to speak out forcefully on behalf of those who cannot, and to join efforts aimed at preventing a second Guantanamo nightmare from unfolding."

Over the past year, I’ve been dismayed by 1) the weaponization of false charges of antisemitism to silence pro-Palestinian activism & 2) the failure of many within the psychology profession to combat this destructive silencing. As 2024 winds down, here are 3 essays I wrote reflecting my concerns...

I wrote about billionaires and the psychology's "Dark Triad" (Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy) several years ago. But it seems as relevant as ever today, sadly.

Hi 🦋! It’s good to be here, belatedly. I’m a psychologist & writer. My recent book “DOING HARM” examines the American Psychological Association's failure to adequately oppose the abuse & torture of US “war on terror” prisoners. Will APA respond differently in the future? That's an open question.

With the ICC's arrest warrant this week, recalling these contrasting reactions to this alleged perpetrator..

FIRST: UN delegates walk out on Netanyahu (9/272024)

SECOND: Standing ovation from US Congress for Netanyahu (7/24/2024)
