As a senior research fellow at Oxford, Brian Klug has written on the topic of antisemitism extensively. He argues in his article titled: The Myth of the New Antisemitism, that accusations of antisemitism are being insidiously misapplied to silence debate about Israel’s conduct.
He is also signatory to Independent Jewish Voices – an organization which began with 150 prominent British Jews, to combat the notion that all Jews support a singular, and unwavering support of Israel.
Sunbird Mission began as an antithesis to the
Canary
Mission, a propaganda, blacklisting, and
doxxing operation which serves to demonize critics of Israel within the realm of academia.
Instead, we strive to highlight the work of brave activists, historians, journalists, writers,
former
IDF soldiers, politicians, Jews, Muslims, Christians, people from all walks of life, who have dared to hold
Israel accountable.
We chose the Palestine sunbird as our symbol
because despite the challenges posed by its harsh, arid environment, this vibrant bird thrives, adapting to the limited resources available and finding sustenance in the nectar of desert
blooms.
The Palestine sunbird perseveres, building nests and raising its young amidst the unforgiving landscape.The resilience of this small bird serves as a poignant reminder of the indomitable spirit that has carried the Palestinian people through generations of struggle and hardship.
