The Crimson Editorial Board Comes Out in Support of BDS Movement
The Crimson | The Editorial Board
The Crimson comes out in support of the pro-Palestine Boycott, Divest, and Sanction movement. “In the past, our board was skeptical of the movement (if not, generally speaking, of its goals), arguing that BDS as a whole did not ‘get at the nuances and particularities of the Israel-Palestine conflict.’ We regret and reject that view. It is our categorical imperative to side with and empower the vulnerable and oppressed...”
“As a board, we are proud to finally lend our support to both Palestinian liberation and BDS — and we call on everyone to do the same.”
The editorial board is clear to mention they are not antisemitic (“We unambiguously oppose and condemn antisemitism in every and all forms”), and that they are protected (“As an editorial board, we are acutely aware of the privilege we hold in having an institutional, effectively anonymous byline”).
