Views expressed were wrongheaded. Claiming speakers ignored Jewish self-determination was absurd on its face. Many addressed it comprehensively. Some proposed a one-state solution. They urged equal rights for all Israeli citizens. One-fifth are Palestinians.
Crimson editors claimed "only the two state solution protects and respects the national aspirations of both Jews and Palestinians."
Saying so turns truth on its head. Years ago two states were possible. No longer. Israel controls over half the West Bank and much of East Jerusalem. More land is stolen daily.
Had Crimson editors attended the conference, they'd have heard cogent opinions on both sides. They'd have known what went on. Their commentary could have reported it accurately.
In October 2012, they "put Palestinian students through a nightmar(ish)" week. A PSC commentary followed. Complying with Crimson editing requirements was "shocking." Statements of fact were challenged.
At issue was attempted censorship. Imposing it was unconscionable. At PSC's insistence, its op-ed was posted online.
Crimson editors removed it. They did again after it was reposted. They shamed themselves in the process. They violated journalistic ethics. They have no right being editors.
They finally published it for circulation. It wasn't easy getting them to do so. It was shocking to have to try.
