Imogen emailed me after writing this, and I replied and apologized for making Imogen feel unsafe.
For transparency, here is the original private email I sent:
hi,
i don't know if you've been following what's been happening over the last 19 months, but the "both sides" argument you're mentioning has been part of Israel's propaganda campaign for many years and has been thoroughly put to rest by now. Your position is basically aligned with trumpers and centrist democrats at this point, and i'm guessing that if you learn more about the issue you'll want for us to immediately sign the pledge.
Also i'll point out that the pledge is againt Apartheid. I'm sure you're not in favor of apartheid.
I'd like to ask you to talk with some people whose opinions you respect, such as ***** or ******, and I hope you'll change your mind about this. Can you please ask them?
thank you
