The letter states: We reject the calls to boycott Israeli and Jewish writers, publishers, authors, book festivals and literary agencies, along with those who support, work with, or platform them.
We continue to be shocked and disappointed to see members of the literary community harass and ostracise their colleagues because they don't share a one-sided narrative in response to the greatest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
The exclusion of anyone who doesn't unilaterally condemn Israel is an inversion of morality and an obfuscation of reality.
History was filled with self-righteous sects who used moments of power to enforce their vision of purity, to persecute, exclude, boycott and intimidate those they disagreed with.
