THREAD: It's telling how many supposed leftists jumped straight to the anti-Arab/Palestinian/Islamophobic position of "angry Palestinian man thinks there should be less Jews on TV" trope when they read this essay. There's literally nowhere in the essay where Salaita says this.

Amid Zionism, there is no such thing as a neutral expression of Jewish culture...When we say “Israeli,” they hear “Jew.” When we say “Zionist,” they also hear “Jew.” But if we say “Jew,” then we are making bigoted conflations.
Great piece @stevesalaita.bsky.social stevesalaita.com/the-ugly-exi...
