Horrendous that censorship-and pressure-should be used to fire Professor Eisen. Albert Einstein made some quite pungent criticisms of Israel. I wonder if he would also be censored these days?

On what basis was Professor Eisen removed from his position? For sympathy with the loss of lives? This is not grounds for removing an excellent editor; it is a disgrace.
