So while the law review should be embarrassed to publish Eghbariah’s arrant nonsense, the real problem is that a cabal of editors, apparently including the former editor in chief, Margaret Hassel, under whose leadership the piece was commissioned, conspired to ensure that anyone who might have objected to publishing the article was kept out of the process. ...
As the letter goes on to explain, the board did not, as alleged by some media sources, then censor the article. Rather, they asked that given the irregularities, the review hold off on publishing the article for a few days until other members of the law review, including excluded article editors, could provide input.
Instead, after agreeing to the delay, the editorial cabal chose to publish the article on the law review website before any such input could be provided. In return, the board of directors pulled the plug on the law review website, pending further developments.
As if this misbehavior was not sufficient, after the board of directors suspended the website, the editorial cabal apparently leaked the story to the Intercept, an anti-Israel, leftist website, to make it appear that they and the author were victimized for an article criticizing Israel.
