In 2011, I became a TED Fellow-- today, I quit. "We are no longer willing to be associated with an organization that platforms and honors vocal supporters of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians". Read the full letter here:

If you would like to stand with us in saying NO to TED giving oxygen to these vocal supporters of the genocide of Palestinians, you can add your name here:

There are no Palestinian speakers on the TED2024 lineup as of now, but even if there were, the Palestinian people's right to exist without threat of violence and annihilation is not a debatable academic idea-- there is one reasonable stance on fascism and that is NO FASCISM.

TED is not a space in which ideas are interrogated or placed in their social context-- rather, it traffics in ideas that are removed from their context, so its audiences can marvel at the technological advances of military robots without thinking about their sinister applications.

You might question whether TED's content lives up to their slogan, "ideas worth spreading"- but inarguably, they are excellent at the *spreading* part. While the TED talk format is old news these days, TED itself is a well oiled apparatus for disseminating the ideas it platforms.
