A recent op-ed by Matthew Taylor in the Daily Californian – the student newspaper at the University of California, Berkeley – levels an anti-Semitic attack against me and falsely states that I have blood on my hands and am “culpable of the perpetuation of … atrocities” by Israel. The student newspaper refuses to publish my factual response to its attack, so I am doing so in this piece.

In his op-ed, Taylor criticizes a cartoonist at his student newspaper for caricaturing me as a predatory spider “crushing a Palestinian with one foot and holding up an IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) soldier who assassinates a Palestinian civilian,” with blood on my hands. But at the same time, Taylor says the cartoon was “fair criticism.”
