15. As colleagues like @caterinafr.bsky.social @pietrocastellig.bsky.social @andreapirro.it and others have argued for years, the far right has become a social movement with various more or less connected units (parties, influencers, hooligans, media) and should be analyzed as such.

Elite institutions are the first to fold.

But this is a particularly egregious case of cowardice and gaslighting. Incredible what Palestinian scholars and scholars of Palestine have to endure in this country.

Revealed: Harvard publisher cancels entire journal issue on Palestine shortly before publication

As Harvard’s feud with Trump escalated, so did tensions over an ‘education and Palestine’ issue of a prestigious journal. Scholars blame the ‘Palestine exception’ to academic freedom
