Palestinian Awareness Week and its opponents
If I were to hold a Mexican American awareness week or a week which sought to elevate the discourse on Australian Aborigines, I highly doubt that the event would generate too much controversy or backlash. However, why is it that with the MSA attempting to host a Palestinian Awareness Week we have come under so […]
