I know that Zionism is an ethnonationalist project, and that ethnonationalist projects inevitably involve racism and authoritarian governance and violent boundary maintenance. I know that Israel’s brutal campaign in Gaza over the past 16 months is a genocide punctuating a 76-year history of violent dispossession and subordination of the Palestinian people. I know that political and material support for Israel from the U.S. government, corporations, and cultural and educational institutions has been and remains fundamental to that endeavor. And I know that mass mobilization in the U.S. can play an important supporting role in ending that genocide and helping to create space for real Palestinian liberation. These are all things I know, and yet I now risk running afoul of the university’s anti-discrimination policies and harming the work of the Lab and the Ash Center if I say them in public. In Gaza, I am witnessing one of the worst humanitarian and human-rights catastrophes in my 55-year lifetime; I help lead a program that studies civil resistance at a research center committed to advancing democracy; and my employer, an internationally renowned institution ostensibly committed to academic freedom, will not allow me or my colleagues or its own students to speak freely about these things, lest we offend people who support them, or who misunderstand or intentionally misconstrue principled criticism of Israeli apartheid and genocide and the ideology underpinning them as antisemitic.
