We are deeply troubled that PEN America President @dinawmengestu resigned over the organization's publication of important new research documenting the discrimination, harassment, and exclusion experienced by Jewish and Israeli writers since October 7. Freedom of expression means opposing efforts to boycott, silence, or exclude writers because of their identity or nationality. That principle must apply consistently to everyone, especially at a moment when Jewish and Israeli voices are facing escalating efforts to boycott, isolate, and silence them - a trend ADL is tracking across cultural, academic and civic spaces. Walking away over research documenting that reality sends a chilling message. We urge @PENamerica to oppose all efforts to boycott, silence, or exclude any voices, including Jewish and Israeli ones. nytimes.com/2026/07/10/art…

Tomorrow, Europe pays its tribute to the memory of over 8,300 Bosniak men and boys who were killed in the Srebrenica genocide 31 years ago. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims of the genocide. Read the joint statement by HR/VP @kajakallas and Commissioner @MartaKosEU here: link.europa.eu/3pQgjM
