Abstract

This essay examines the confluence of issues that attend to discussion of Palestine, especially on campus: constitutional free speech, academic freedom, representations of Islam and Arabs (which might be accommodated under the guise of Orientalism), donor influence on universities, corporate norms on campus, the overreach of governing boards, media narratives, and the Zionist reliance on authority to regulate conversation.
