Do not know how to dm, but would love to connect. I am a musician, and the Academia artistic world is the worst currently on anti-Zionism. Would love to contribute through music projects on the campuses, and have an idea about it.
Please create an account on Instagram as I am no longer on X which is a cesspool of Jew hatred/AntiZionism. I was removed multiple times for being a proud Zionist Jew.
Thanks (for the suggestion, and for being a proud Zionist Jew). ICSA is set up on instagram but not yet very active (don't have bandwidth), but follow and stay tuned .... Find it at icsa48
Thank you for launching this scholarly movement to expose the forces underlyig anti-Zionism. We do have organizations that try to bring together our small numbers to hold the line for academic integrity as against malcious activism, and we have new journals in contemporary antisemitism, but we don't have an open forum for analyses and theoretical dicussion. The time has passed for for being merely scandalized by the mass hatred,; the time has come to anaayze global anti-Zioism and find strategies for what will be a long fight. I have some optimism: the ideologies driving this are just too irrational, as exemplified by Mamdani's plan for NYC. As urban policy it is hopeless, thought as political strategy it is not.
By the way, I would contest your use of the word "conspiracy" above, though I know you did not mean it literally. There are coherent sociological explanations for how varied groups can find common cause through the targeting of an enemy they can execrate.
Here is an illustrtion. Multiple radical activist groups meet, with varied agendas: Islamism, Global South, US urban poverty, climate catastrophe, indigeneity, post-Christian benevolent idealism, and any number of specific causes. They want a "better world" for sure, but there are too many vague ideas on how to do it, too many loose threads, too much opportunity for conflict that would divide the movements. Participatns pay attention to what arises from collective acclamation. What topics gets the most cheers and boos, what's uifying? It arises spontaneously; it is of course the figure of the Zionist fiend, the unifying enemy in their vague but impassioned quest. (But once the fiend is collectively identified, then there are indeed practical opportunities for conspiracy here and there.
I am very interested to be part of it, I don't know (yet) in what capacity. When I know more about the projects, activities, proposals, I can see where I fit in.
