I’ve written a new piece β€”"The American Psychological Association and the Weaponization of Antisemitism"β€”in which I describe APA's failure to (1) reject the weaponization of antisemitism, and (2) stand strongly in support of Palestinian rights, dignity, and freedom. royeidelson.com/the-american...

A very misleading open letter/petition from "Psychologists Against Antisemitism" accuses the American Psychological Association of "systemic" and "virulent" antisemitism. I’ve written a brief response to these outrageous accusations:

It is not antisemitic to support Palestinian rights, and scholars should know that. The dangers posed by the antisemitism of white nationalists and similar groups encouraging violence against Jews are very real and should not be ignored or minimized. Unfortunately, however, more prom...

Experts call for release of GuantΓ‘namo Bay detainee Abu Zubaydah, arbitrarily detained for over two decades GENEVA – UN experts* today called on the United States to immediately release Zayn al-Abidin Muhammad Husayn (known as Abu Zubaydah), who remains detained for almost 20 years without charge at the Gua...

UN rightly calls for the release of Abu Zubaydah. There should be no such thing as a β€œforever prisoner”, never charged and never tried in a democracy. The two are fundamentally incompatible.

Pentagon Repatriates Malaysian Prisoners Who Pleaded Guilty to War Crimes The prisoners were airlifted from GuantΓ‘namo Bay in a secret operation nearly a year after they admitted to serving as foot soldiers for the accused Indonesian terrorist leader Hambali.

The GuantΓ‘namo (yes it's still open) prisoner population is now 27; 3 were transferred out in the last few days. Of those remaining, 15 were cleared for release many years ago, 4 "forever prisoners" have never been tried, 2 are serving sentences, and 6 are on trial.
