Wow, those are a lot of fancy words to justify being silent enablers of the atrocities committed against Palestinian people. A few sentences are just obscene and plain wrong, like Israel is a scapegoat for its imperial predecessors. Israel is the literal device of its imperial predecessors, and continue to do so. It is denying the educated person's right to call an end to this violence, as a mere leftist shift in academia. While most of the protests were very calm and accommodating, people are quick to paint all with the same brush of antisemitism. And its always the people who take a moral stand, need to apologise, for their rhetoric. Those who spew venom against the Palestinian people are always given a free pass.
I wonder what do the author read though. I think he could do with a bit of thorough reading of To Kill A Mockingbird.
