On 19 June 2024, I was scheduled to give a lecture at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) in Be’er Sheva, Israel. My lecture was part of an event about the worldwide campus protests against Israel, and I planned to address the war in Gaza and more broadly the question of whether the protests were sincere expressions of outrage or motivated by antisemitism, as some had claimed.

Yesterday’s passage by the House of Representatives of the Antisemitism Awareness Act (AAA) in response to student demonstrations and encampments protesting the war in Gaza is a cynical, or at best naïve move that will only lend a hand to opponents of free speech and undermine democracy in the service of 21st-century authoritarianism—the same kind of authoritarianism that only seven decades ago engaged in the labeling, persecution and mass murder of Jews and other minorities in Europe.
