'An assault on history': Censorship of author Susan Abulhawa roils Oxford Union

The Oxford Union is embroiled in a major scandal after being accused of censoring Palestinian-American author Susan Abulhawa. Following a debate where the union voted that Israel is an "apartheid state responsible for genocide," a video of Abulhawa's speech was edited to remove 73 seconds before being re-uploaded. This decision was allegedly made under intense pressure from the union's board of trustees, leading the society's members to vote to republish the full, uncensored speech. Abulhawa has since filed a lawsuit against the union, accusing it of discrimination and copyright infringement.
