"Why now?"
Because almost without anyone noticing, the movement in solidarity with Palestinian rights — with all its solipsisms and ultra-leftist foibles, its quarrels and magnetic attraction for eccentrics, opportunists, and, yes, the occasional antisemite — has grown to become one of the most important, inspiring, and fast-growing social movements in the country."Why now?" Because enough people have become involved that now it's safe for the best and brightest young American intellectuals to follow along. Long live the academic avant-garde, always ready to play catch-up.
More credit to Hawking; he doesn't pretend to lead.
