The New McCarthyism: A Personal Testimony
I AM A tenured professor of English at Occidental College in Los Angeles, which has a long tradition of progressive activism, including around Palestine. I have served as the faculty advisor to the campus chapter of the Students for Justice in Palestine for about 12 years. There was nothing unusual about the fact that, soon after the October 7 attack by Hamas and beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza, a group of 37 faculty, of which I was one, drafted and sent a letter to faculty, students and staff condemning the war. We referred to Israel as a colonial settler regime that had embarked on a genocidal war against the population of Gaza, based on the now well-known remarks by the President, Prime Minister and Minister of Defense of Israel. Although, I was only marginally involved in the writing of the letter, I was asked to send it out under my name, based on my being senior faculty and therefore unlikely to face serious consequences for doing so. I agreed without hesitation and sent the letter to the faculty, staff and student lists
