For years the Zionists have maintained their control by shutting out our views. I have been blacklisted, Steven Salaita lost his tenure-track job. The 92d Street Y can't have a Palestinian alone on its stage, our leading outlets fall over one another to promote Israeli propaganda about its wonderful assassins; the New Yorker publishes a provincial Zionist's account of the Lydda expulsion -- and ignores a masterpiece account by Raja-e Busailah who lived through it.

Someday this racist exclusion will be the subject of museum exhibits and scholarly conferences. Why, when we have the moral high ground, should we imitate that censorship?
