This isn't repression. This is natural consequence -- no one is guaranteed a lack of consequences, nor does anyone have the absolute right to speak whereever and whenever he wants. Nguyen can still speak and say what he wants. he just won't do it in one particular place. Velasco can feel free to get a job at a company who corporate ethos reflects his personal feelings. College students are being held responsible for choosing sides. That's life.Photographer Hannah La Follette Ryan documented the many hands of protesters demonstrating across New York City in support of Palestine.
Ever since the Israel-Gaza war broke out, the worlds of the arts and academia have seen a wave of repression against people who dare to speak up for Palestine. Pulitzer Prize winner Viet Thanh Nguyen signed an open letter condemning Israeli war crimes and saw his appearance at New York’s 92Y canceled. The editor-in-chief of Artforum, David Velasco, was summarily fired after publishing an open letter calling for a ceasefire in the war. A CAA agent was demoted for sharing Instagram content labeling the violence in Gaza a genocide. College students across the country continue to be targeted for supporting Palestine. At Harvard, a conservative Zionist media group drove a truck around campus displaying students’ personal information on digital billboards.
Hundreds of students and members of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) have also
had their names and sometimes their contact information and/or names of their employers posted
on blacklist websites such as “College Terror List, a Helpful Guide for Employers.” Some of
these sites have been taken down as violating the terms of the service of the platform, but the
lists continue to circulate.6 Law students’ job offers have been rescinded, and other students have
been denied employment because of such blacklists.7
Universities have not only failed to respond to their students’ fears and concerns about
these doxing campaigns and the resulting avalanche of racist and threatening messages they
receive, they have also targeted their own students, condemned them, policed them, and
subjected them to investigations and disciplinary proceedings, some of which have led to
suspensions and other consequences for students’ speech activities.8
