Anat Biletzki
Anat Biletzki (Hebrew: ענת בילצקי, born 1952) is a professor of philosophy at Tel Aviv University and Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT.[1][2]
Biletzki was born in Jerusalem. She was a member of B'tselem,[3] an Israeli human rights NGO, acting as chairperson from 2001 to 2006, and has served as a B'tselem Board member since 1995.
Biletzki is a member of the executive board of FFIPP-I (Faculty for Israeli-Palestinian Peace International),[4] which describes itself as "a network of Palestinian, Israeli, and International faculty, and students, working in solidarity for a complete end of the occupation and just peace."[5]
Biletzki distinguishes between "Jewish Israel" and Israel as a nation. In a New York Times opinion piece[6] she writes that "[the 2015 minority government bloc] holds a Jewish, nationalistic agenda," and "norms of exclusive Jewish rights and exclusion of Arab citizens" are inherent to Zionism. She says the same for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's assertion that a two-state solution would never be implemented during his tenure and his concern over large numbers of Israeli Arabs going to the voting booths.
