    Nobel prizes are meaningless but I think Pulitzers have some reputation, the article only mentions one.

    Also I like how it states the authors the letter is directed it numbers more than 1000 lol. Don’t think they’re gonna care about missing out on a small number of genocidal maniacs…

      It’s also just not a meaningful act. The people signing the original letter have the personal power to boycott Israeli cultural institutions. The signers of this letter can only complain. Their writing this doesn’t in any way change the boycott, it’s just writing a response to write a response, and the ham-fisted way they did it doesn’t have much ability to influence anyone who wasn’t already all in on the genocide-denial.
