This series includes entries by members of our scholarly community on the War in Gaza. CI has a long history of theorizing questions related to settlement, racism, colonialism, postcolonialism, and antisemitism in Palestine/Israel and elsewhere in the world. Over the years we have published articles by Edward Said, Aamir Mufti, Lila Abu Lughod, Ann Laura Stoler and other scholars on these themes. Our commentators might not agree with one another, but we offer this platform as a call against the culture of academic silencing, bullying, and doxxing and as a way of informing ourselves, and others, about the conflict, its contexts, and its meanings.
