"The side that favors academic freedom and the free exchange of ideas
does not remotely have the financial resources and political organizing
clout as the side that tries to control political debates in the name of
pro-Israel advocacy. But we can at least do what we can do in pursuit
of these principles. Preserving the ability of academic institutions to
host the events and invite the speakers they want - without having to
heed the demands of "pro-Israel" advocates and the cowardly state
officials who serve them - is of vital importance." Glenn Greenwald
