Another colleague brought up apartheid and told us we are complicit in segregation and apartheid and made a weird semi-pornographic comment.
An older colleague says it’s urgent to help the people in Gaza but self-congratulating American gestures don’t help. We have no right to put people of Israel on trial at the MLA. Let’s advocate for policy changes instead.
A colleague asked if the resolution would force us to boycott just the Jews or everybody.
A colleague responded that the point of the boycott is to enable everybody to work under conditions we take for granted. I have no idea what her point was.
A prof reminded that 90% of our members have no interest in the boycott. This boycott is a distraction from real issues.
This boycott is advanced by servants of imperial interests and lovers of American exceptionalism, said a young female colleague. A bunch of old angry men tried to shut her up but she stood her ground.
A prof mumbled on about his hate mail.
A fellow called us to discuss the issues that are actually relevant to us instead.
A disheveled man whined that anti-boycotters had an unfair advantage.
A woman spoke about some pamphlet that means a lot to her but forgot to mention where it can be found.
