Aziz and Plitnick are co-authors of the report “Presumptively Anti-Semitic: Islamophobic Tropes in the Palestine-Israel Discourse,” published in November, 2023, by the Center for Security, Race and Rights at Rutgers. The report examines how Islamophobia distorts U.S. foreign policy and is being used by some Zionist groups to delegitimize Arab or Muslim experts on Israel-Palestine and to press unfounded accusations of anti-Semitism.
