My genuinely non controversial take is that if you're signing an open letter of support for Cofnas you're either a racist or want to be admired in racist spaces.

I think the reason why we like to think that the brain is a "biological computer (or anything else) that computes", it's just because the only complex things whose functioning we more or less understand are computers and things that actually computes

The Black Flag Group of some 800 academics in Israel is calling upon the heads of Israeli universities and colleges to mobilize the full weight of Israeli academia to stop the Israeli war in Gaza
We, members of the academic and administrative staff in institutions of higher 
education in Israel, call on you to act immediately to mobilize the full weight of 
Israeli academia to stop the Israeli war in Gaza. 
Israeli higher education institutions play a central role in the struggle against the 
judicial overhaul. It is precisely against this backdrop that their silence in the face of 
the killing, starvation, and destruction in Gaza, and in the face of the complete 
elimination of the educational system there, its people, and its structures, is so striking. 
Since Israel violated the ceasefire on March 18, almost 3,000 people have been killed in 
Gaza. The vast majority of them were civilians. Since the start of the war, at least 
53,000 people have been killed in Gaza, including at least 15,000 children and at least 41 
Israeli hostages. At the same time, many international bodies are warning of acute 
starvation – the result of intentional and openly declared Israeli government policy – as 
well as of the rendering of Gaza into an area unfit for human habitation. Israel 
continues to bomb hospitals, schools, and other institutions. Among the war’s declared 
goals, as defined in the orders for the current military operation “Gideon’s Chariots,” is 
the “concentration and displacement of the population.” This is a horrifying litany of 
war crimes and even crimes against humanity, all of our own doing. 
As academics, we recognize our own role in these crimes. It is human societies, not 
governments, that commit crimes against humanity. Some do so by means of direct 
violence. Others do so by sanctioning the crimes and justifying them, before and after 
the fact, and by keeping quiet  and silencing voices in the halls of learning. It is this 
bond of silence that allows clearly evident crimes to continue unabated without 
penetrating the barriers of recognition. 
We cannot claim that we did not know. We have been silent for too long.
