The censorship and purging of critics of Zionism is a longstanding phenomenon in US academia. And a recent incident with Ken Roth shows even the mildest criticism of Israel can have professional repercussions. The former executive director of Human Rights Watch was recently denied a fellowship at the Harvard Kennedy School in a widely publicized scandal. After hundreds of phone calls from supporters and an article in
The Nation exposing Harvard's pro-Israel donors, Roth was accepted into the fellowship, and the university released a conciliatory statement. Ken Roth joins
The Marc Steiner Show to discuss his ordeal.
