The folks over at openDemocracy asked me to comment on “Funding Cannot Stop Human Rights Abuses” by Lori Allen. It was an excellent article, but of course I can always find something to critique.
In my response, I say, “Lori Allen concludes that international aid to Palestine should not be falsely posited as a means to curtail Israeli human rights violations. I couldn’t agree more! However, her argument would be stronger if she didn’t conflate three distinct problems with international aid that, while mutually reinforcing, are better addressed one by one, and in a more nuanced way.”
