I think it's punitive in the extreme. I think it's inhumane. I don't think it's necessary. Well, defend that position, will you? People will say. I think as a black intellectual of somewhat conservative sensibility, it's way out of line for me to be taking that kind of a position. I think that's why a point had to be made.

Not to exaggerate my own importance, yes.

Well, that's ethnic cleansing, apartheid, genocide, world court, international court of justice. I think the authorization of a certain kind of perspective that, of course, remember the huge debate about Zionism being racism. I'm not making that claim.

I was in Durban, South Africa in 2001 for the World Conference Against Racism. And I remember Colin Powell as Secretary of State deciding not to attend the World Conference Against Racism because of the controversy that had emerged about racism. anti-Zionist elements wanting to make a point out of Zionism being racism at that conference, and Powell wouldn't attend it.

I didn't endorse that position then, and I'm not endorsing it now. I think that's too facile and ahistorical of an equation to draw. But I think that's the thing that the defenders of the Zionist project fear getting a camel's nose under the tent. The idea that there could be some South Africa-like indictment. of the political project that could emerge and could gain credence.

And that's not acceptable. I mean, that's why I think the not implausible set of observations about the settler colonialism aspect of the Zionist project must be nipped in the bud. It has to be seen as absolutely ridiculous.

And people who teach it, and I taught at the Watson Institute for International Affairs at Brown as an economist for years, teaching international studies and development studies kinds of courses. And it's this sentiment of European influence throughout the global south and whatnot gets applied in the context of Israel-Palestine by some critics, and they are now on the run.

The critics who would apply that sentiment are part of this woke incumbency in American higher education, which is being run out of town on a rail as we speak. And I think these things are all somehow connected with one another.
