‘I didn’t read it’: The campaign to ban a pro-Palestine book at Princeton by Azad Essa

Harshini Abbaraju said that given Princeton’s position as an assembly line to politically influential roles in government, it was a deliberate ploy to block students from learning, discussing and potentially taking this education to their future jobs as policymakers. “They don’t want us talking about Palestine at Princeton. That’s why they [are] fighting tooth and nail against it. So this is not just a case of censorship. This book reveals some very harsh truths of the incremental genocide which Palestinians have been subjected to.”
