This is the last of three discussions in Violent Majorities: Indian and Israeli Ethno-nationalism, a Recall This Book series put together by the anthropologists Ajantha Subramanian and Lori Allen. First Ajantha and Lori spoke with Balmurli Natrajan about the slippery slope to a multiculturalism of caste in India. Then Natasha Roth-Rowland joined them to discuss what the most extreme Israeli ethno-nationalists share with the established political ruling parties.

Amid ethno-nationalism’s current worldwide rise, India and Israel have witnessed new manifestations of authoritarianism and state capture by far-right movements championing ethno-religious dominance and purity. Both have seen a sharp uptick in state and vigilante violence, suppression of press freedom, and scapegoating of political opponents and minorities.

After six months of Israeli genocide in Gaza, a look back into history at the 1946 Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry offers some perspective. Today could have been avoided - a peaceful solution in Palestine was on offer. Seventy-eight years ago, on 20 April 1946, six American and six British investigators issued a report on the Palestine "problem" and the fate of Europe's Jews. Until then, there was still a chance at some kind of peaceful future in Palestine.

As anthropologists, scholars, and teachers, now is our moment to act. It has always been our responsibility, as academics and citizens, to defend and promote the spaces for critical thinking, dissent, and open debate, for free expression and academic freedom. But what rides on our collective efforts now, in this moment, is even more urgent, more essential, more existential.

The American Anthropological Association (AAA) is awaiting the results of a membership vote on a resolution to boycott Israeli academic institutions submitted in response to a solidarity call from Palestinians. Despite the AAA’s decision to hold the vote in the summer, there has been a robust exchange of views on the resolution.

My resignation took effect at the end of August 2023, after a two-decade career that included three degrees in the discipline at a “top” US department, two postdoc positions at two ivies, and teaching anthropology classes on Palestine and human rights at several “top universities” and one refugee camp.
