-General Union of Palestinian Students at San Francisco State University announces the festivities for the Edward Said mural launch on November 2nd. Wish I was there.

-Esteemed Harvard scholar Sara Roy faced academic censorship by the editors and readers at The Fletcher Forum of World Affairs, the official foreign-policy journal at the Fletcher School at Tufts University. She dared slam a book on Hamas by the AIPAC-related Washington Institute for Near Eastern Policy (WINEP). She contends it is poor scholarship:

Levitt’s book has many serious flaws and merits a detailed critique that extends well beyond the scope of this review. His is not a work of analysis or scholarship, to say the least, and despite certain points that are interesting and accurate, anyone wishing to gain a substantive, reasoned and critical understanding of Hamas would do well to look elsewhere.

Roy is a leading expert on Hamas, but expertise on Palestinian matters is too “one-sided.”

-Speaking of the Israel lobby and how it’s slipping up, see the press on Mearsheimer and Walt’s book.
