Coeditor of “A Land With a People” (Forthcoming!) makes it into NYT Op Ed section, print version

To the Editor: I never thought that I’d live to see this day: a full, front-page article that exposes the realities of Palestinian life under Israel’s military rule....None of it is news to Palestinians living in the West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem or within Israel.
