Speaking truth to power is always a long treacherous road.
Kudos to the author, and to you, for publishing the words that are so revolutionary that corrupt power people will do anything to keep us all from hearing them.

The more they silence us, the more guilty they look.

They'll have to beat us into submission, like they do the Palestinians.

And they want to beat us, but the women first....

Columbia Law Review board shutters website over article critical of Israel

Board tried to stop publication of article by Palestinian human rights lawyer and closed website when student editors refused

The Guardian

⬆️ @notwithstanding @TanAn

LOL, Student editors at the #ColumbiaLawReview push “#Nakba as a Legal Concept,” and are mad the Board shut that down.

When the editors refused the request, the Board — made up of faculty and alumni from #ColumbiaUniversity’s law school — shut down the law review’s website entirely.

Editors described the Board’s intervention as an unprecedented breach of editorial independence

#EditorialIndependence does not excuse editorial malfeasance 🙄

After publishing an article critical of Israel, Columbia Law Review's website is shut down by board

A student-run legal journal has been taken offline by its board of directors after it objected to the publication of an article that accused Israel of genocide. Editors at the Columbia Law Review said the move marked an unprecedented breach of editorial independence by the board made up of alumni and faculty. The board said in a letter to student editors that it had process concerns about how the piece was accepted and the fact that not everyone involved in the legal journal had reviewed it. They said they had taken the website down to give students “some window of opportunity to review the piece."
