American Historical Association Council Rejects Members' Will, Vetoes Scholasticide Resolution
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The leadership of the American Historical Association has vetoed a
"resolution to oppose scholasticide in Gaza" that was overwhelmingly
backed by members of the AHA earlier this month. The group Historians
for Palestine accused AHA leadership of "pandering to the political
class," adding, "The AHA is our organization. We urge historians to
recognize this anti-democratic silencing as complicity in
scholasticide." To learn more about the resolution, click here to see
