This episode presents a review of university silencing efforts and harassment against Palestine justice activists. The examples are accumulating.
On today's show we feature two excerpts from The Dissenter (website: dissenter.firedoglake.com/) originally broadcast on April 6, 2014. Hosts Kevin Goszstola and Rania Khalek interview professor Iymen Chechade of Columbia College (Chicago), and Tia Porrell of Students for Justice in Palestine at Northeastern University (Boston) about being targeted for their Palestinian activism on campus. Given the recent developments in the Steve Salaita case, its important to see how pro-Israel forces have attempted to silence Palestinian voices and viewpoints in the past, and how dedicated activists continue to resist these well coordinated acts of suppression.
Not mentioned on air due to censorship edict: Even our very own program on Boston College Radio has been harassed (but so far not silenced).

This Week In Palestine (a weekly part of Truth and Justice Radio) is an award-winning three-quarter-hour segment of news from Palestine and discussion of issues relevant to the Palestinians' struggle for freedom from Israel's brutal military occupation and colonization of their homeland. It speaks from the point of view of Palestinians and those who care about them.
It's a regular part of Truth and Justice Radio, aired Sundays 6-10am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, streaming and archived for two weeks at wzbc.org; TJR's website, truthandjusticeradio.org, has a link to This Week In Palestine archives back thru 1-6-2008; earlier editions are obtainable from radio4all.net or by navigating through our playlists. (At this important time, TJR has been airing a lot of Palestine coverage IN ADDITION to that provided by This Week In Palestine.) We hope you'll write to us at tjr@bluebottle.com if you rebroadcast our work, or have questions or comments.
