Advocates for Palestinians' rights blacklisted

mardi 9 mars 2021 à 01:00

Advocates for Palestinian's rights are being blacklisted for their stand, by tarring them as "antisemitic". Those not ready to dedicate them to that cause and get blacklisted often ask to participate in an activity anonymously. However, when they do this in an event at a public university, an Israel-funded lawyer sues using public records laws to force disclosure of their names.

These public records laws were meant for official decisionmaking; they should not apply to academic activities.

That change needs to be made soon. Otherwise, China will hire a lawyer to get the names of people who anonymously describe what China did to them or their relatives.
