It’s a little unnerving, but unsurprising, that Israel collects influencers and intellectuals, and uses them to cajole their critics in to flying to Israel, “just to talk”. Maybe it’s just an intimidation tactic, maybe something more sinister. But it happens openly, and our own government looks the other way.
Ya know- it was around that time that @ericweinstein offered to fly me to Israel too. Out of the blue.
Something something about he was just the messenger for other people that wanted me to have the opportunity.
I’ve assumed he’s an extension of Israeli intelligence ever since.
