As a writer and scholar of speculative fiction (SF), I am very concerned about the impact of boycotts and deplatforming on Jewish and Israeli SF.

But in the wake of October 7 and the rising wave of antisemitism, this momentum has been stalled, if not reversed. All Jewish/Israeli writers face common challenges, but SF writers are particularly vulnerable.
