נשיא PEN America, המגן על מבקרי ישראל, מתפטר לאחר דוח המזהיר מפני איומים על סופרים יהודים

הערכה

Dinaw Mengestu’s resignation widens a familiar fracture inside PEN America: whether defending free expression includes protecting calls to boycott Israel. His departure suggests the organization’s balancing act between condemning antisemitism and upholding broad speech rights may be unsustainable. The split could further polarize literary institutions already struggling with the Israel-Palestine debate.
