So how do we know Judith Butler is a clueless, cynical opportunist? Well, here’s a funny thing.

Paint me confused, since Judith Butler has *also* just signed the recently-published rebuttal letter (…erningbristoluniversity.wordpress.com).
Seems to me like holding opposing views at the same time views is unscholarly, but I guess there's still much I don't understand about postmodernism.

The signatories of the letter published Friday supporting David Miller include linguist Noam Chomsky and gender theorist Judith Butler, both Jewish Americans

I didn’t get it at first, but basically what happened was this.
This guy called Jewish students on his campus “pawns” of Israel, “a violent, racist, foreign regime engaged in ethnic cleansing.”
200 academics from the United Kingdom and the United States signed a petition defending him.
There's also an opposing petition saying "we, the undersigned, wholly condemn recent statements by Prof. David Miller..."
Judith Butler signed both.
You know Graham, I have no idea who you have hired to do all of the make up on you and your guests, but he or she (they?) are really going places...
Judith was perhaps getting involved as a non binary opinion. They could see both sides of the argument?
