Settler Colonialism on Humanities Commons 5 years, 8 months agoThis autobiographical co-authored essay explores how hate speech wounds within the logic of the Palestine exception, whereby Israel-critical speech is subjected to censorship and silencing that does not affect other controversial speech.
