[Air-L] The difficult conversation we don't seem to be having

[Blayne Haggart]

Hello all:

I want to add my voice to those supporting AOIR making a statement on the war. Sky, thank you for starting the conversation.

It’s particularly important that AOIR, as an organization, speak up because the reality is that individual scholars rightly fear for their livelihoods for broaching any political criticism of Israel, including of the unconscionable (and, I would argue, self-destructive) way it has chosen to conduct itself in this war; i.e., by committing acts that sure look like genocide.

It should not be controversial, or take excessive bravery, for anyone to condemn the excessive use of force in war, not matter how grievous the attack, or the historical complexity at play, or which country is committing the atrocities. (You also don’t need a PhD in War Crimes to speak out against atrocities.)

War crimes and genocide are illegal and immoral in all circumstances. *Nothing* excuses them, no matter who commits them, for whatever reason.

Yet in Canada, as elsewhere, scholars, students and workers have been censured, blacklisted and fired for expressing support for Palestinians and for criticizing Israel’s prosecution of the war. Attempts to define antisemitism to include political critiques of Israel have been weaponized so as to silence these critiques. In such a climate of chilled academic speech, it is incumbent on organizations like AOIR, and on tenured academics, to create the space for others to express themselves, including in support of basic and universal human rights.

(For those interested, I’ve written about this weaponized antisemitism in the Canadian context: https://cfe.torontomu.ca/blog/2024/01/academic-freedom-weaponized-antisemitism-and-big-chill. For those looking for further information on the debate over definitions of antisemitism in the university context, I highly recommend this 2021 report from the University of Toronto Antisemitism Working Group: https://people.utoronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Report-of-the-Antisemitism-Working-Group-1.pdf.)

As for the content of the statement and any calls to action, I think Sky has some good suggestions. I, for one, have no problem with a statement that follows Amnesty International’s lead in condemning the inhumane violence from Hamas *and* Israel, e.g., https://takeaction.amnesty.ca/page/137971/petition/1, while focusing on Israel’s ongoing disproportionate actions. Since we’re an academic organization, I think particular focus should be placed (as others have also noted) on the killing of Palestinian professors, the destruction of Gaza’s university system, and the unprecedented number of killings of journalists covering the conflict.

Blayne Haggart

I agree, Steph, that articulating avenues towards diplomacy and peace is
what is needed - and what this group is eminently qualified for. There is
such a complex history and too many wrongs on both sides to justify
judgment against one side or the other.

A peaceful and just way forward is what is truly needed.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Cohen

This conversation feels momentous. Thank you Sky for initiating and Amy for
reminding that this is essentially public discourse.

Can the members of this group, with all the expertise and comprehension of
sociotechnical systems and the powers of narrative and discourse, engage a
problem-solving conversation to generate a compelling case — and even
perhaps a pathway — for governance and economy that does not depend upon
war?

I’m aware academics don’t tend to lead, although some intellectuals try
(with some historical success). Mainly we explain.

Could we explain how to mobilize coordinated direct action on an
international scale to overwhelm the motives for violence with unbending
insistence on peace?

Dear Air-Ls,
As you, I am worried about the loss of life in Gaza, but I cannot but
wonder about the omission of the trigger for the war: In the wake of
Saturday, October 7th, Israel was attacked by about 5000 Hamas
terrorists,
who systematically slaughtered and burned alive family after family in
villages near the Gaza border, rapped women before killing them in the
music festival in Re’im, and sadistically tortured kids in front of their
parents.  One of those murdered was Yasmin Zohar, a M.Sc. student of a
friend of mine. Yasmin, her two daughters, her husband, and her father
were
all brutally slaughtered in their home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz that Saturday
morning. Only her son Ariel, almost 13, survived. He moved to live with
his
uncles in the city of Rishon LeZion – where I grew up. So many Harry
Potters were created that day.
This is a complex situation with a long history. At the moment, Israel is
responding to an immediate unprovoked terrorist attack against civilians
by
Hamas, who publicly promised to do that again. Looking at the
affiliations
of those responding in the list, I can safely say that your countries
would
have – and in fact have already done so in the past – reacted similarly
to
such attacks.
Like you, I also follow with horror what happens in Gaza. But sometimes,
it seems to me, that I care more about the hungry and futureless kids in
Gaza, than the Western Pro-Palestinians protesters who, in fact, work
hard
to allow the continuation of Hamas control there. As I see it, this is
practically like supporting the Taliban's control over Afghanistan
instead
of supporting Afghanis who try to get rid of the Taliban.

Thanks so much for this Sky.

Especially as every university in Gaza had been partially or fully
destroyed, hundreds of professors and academics have been killed, and
academic institutions outside Gaza have engaged in targeting and
suppression of pro-Palestine speech, I am fully supportive of an academic
boycott and a clear stance of public solidarity and action. Also
interested
in any research efforts to better understand internet research in the
Palestinian context.

Given the online and livestreamed nature of this genocide where we've
seen
people telling us the horrific atrocities committed against them in real
time on all our internet platforms, often followed by news of their
murder,
it is imperative for an association of internet researchers to take a
stance.

Not to mention the nature of online suppression, disinformation, doxxing,
and harassment that has been at the center of a campaign to justify and
even celebrate the murder of over 30,000 people and the forced starvation
and displacement of millions amidst an intentional destruction of
lifesaving healthcare and telecommunication (including internet)
facilities.

Thank you for initiating this, and please count me in for any efforts
moving forward.

Hi everyone,


This is a difficult message to write, and I know that it will probably
open some difficult conversations. I realised this morning that I was
shying away from having these conversations because I don’t want to
create problems for the many colleagues who I respect and am fond of
within AoIR.
And while I do care about all of you, sometimes care means being brave
(and perhaps annoying) instead of being polite.


So. We need to talk about Gaza. And we need to talk about Israel. Many
of us have been speaking up individually, but our voices have more
power when we bring them together. I have signed on to other open
letters, but I think there are also important reasons for the
Association of Internet Researchers to take a stance.


*What I am suggesting?*

I am asking for us to have a discussion about some form of public
solidarity with Palestinians who are currently under attack, and with
those within Israel and around the world who are speaking up against
the actions of the Israeli state.


It might involve a statement of solidarity for those who are under
attack in Gaza and other parts of Palestine, and for people engaged in
non-violent resistance to the actions of the Israeli state. It might
involve joining the international call for an academic boycott of
Israeli institutions complicit in the ongoing violence against
Palestinians (the guidelines for which are available here <

). It
might involve a commitment to ask our own academic institutions to cut
their ties with the Israeli state. It might take some other format.


*Why now?*

There are many acts of violence and oppression happening around the
world.
Why should our academic organisation speak up on this, specifically?


Because the scale of the violence is immense and continuing <

exceeding that of any recent armed conflict. There is no end in sight,
and the deliberate restriction of food, water, and medicine means that
people within Gaza face starvation and disease as well as bombing and
other forms of direct violence.


Because many of us are based in countries which are prepared to
condemn other atrocities, but are unwilling to issue more than
lukewarm statements about the Israeli state’s violence against
Palestinians. For example, Australia’s foreign minister Penny Wong <

*Why **are we** silent?*

I do not think that AoIR has tended to position itself as a neutral or
apolitical organisation. Past conference themes <

have
included “Revolutions” and “Decolonising the Internet”. My sense is
that there was also a response and a discussion within the
organisation to the Black Lives Matter movement, among other issues.


Of course, I am aware that academic organisations will not often
respond to international events. Perhaps the silence so far is
entirely for this reason. Perhaps we are afraid that if we speak up on
this we will also be asked to speak about Sudan, Congo, and other
issues (would that be
terrible?)


However, I think that we must also acknowledge the chilling effect
that many academics and others experience specifically on the matter of
Israel.


Antisemitism is a real and significant problem in the world. However,
the ongoing attempt to conflate all criticism of Israel with
antisemitism is intellectually dishonest and dangerous <

to
the formation of Israel. Organisations like the ADL put forward claims
that groups like A Jewish Voice for Peace are antisemitic *because*
they are anti-Zionist. Similarly, Canary Mission lists university
students, professors, and organisations that criticise the Israeli
state alongside neo-nazi organisations like the “Daily Stormer”,
conflating legitimate criticism of the Israeli government with violent
antisemitism.


I understand that many people do not want to contribute to the real
antisemitism faced by our friends, colleagues, and students face. We
all have a duty to oppose antisemitism in our communities and
universities.
Perhaps that leads to a reluctance to speak out about the Israeli
state’s actions. However, I believe that we can oppose both
antisemitism and Israeli state violence. The Israeli state does not
speak for, or act for, all <
