I
Several months ago, I was invited to give a lecture at a Brazilian university and, for no reason at all, they uninvited me, claiming it was not the “right moment”… (could it be because I am Jewish?).
II
I am a JEW, and everyone knows what I think, what I defend, what I write, and what I say; including what I think and say about Israel and Palestine (and two States), about the criticisms I make of Netanyahu, and about Hamas, Hezbollah, Boko Haram, ISIS, the Taliban…
III
So, I will not stop being a JEW to please antisemites… from the left or from the right. On the contrary, I am even more of a JEW and more aware of who I am, where I come from, what I do, and where I am going!
IV
Do they wish to cancel me for being Jewish? Bah! Do they want to hear my laughter of contempt for antisemites, fundamentalists, Nazi-fascists, and Stalinists now or later?
