Urge Macmillan to retain entry on Zionism

Target:

100

Sponsored by:

Macmillan Reference USA is currently facing pressure from Zionist lobbies to remove the entry on Zionism in its "Encyclopedia of Race and Racism". Please sign this petition to send a message of support to Macmillan and a plea against caving in to Zionist pressures.

We the undersigned urge Macmillan Reference USA of Gale - Cengage Learning to retain the entry on the ideology of Zionism in its publication "Encyclopedia of Race and Racism". We urge it to resist the demands of Zionist lobbyists asking for the removal or alteration of the above mentioned entry. We applaud Macmillan's effort to promote an honest and academic understanding of Zionism and believe it is pertinent to keep such information available to the public. We urge it not to cave in to any Zionist pressures or threats and to continue to allow for an honest evaluation of Zionism in the academic and public spheres.

Censorship is the weapon of fear, discuss / debate DO NOT CENSOR.

I feel the entry is a fair and accurate depiction of history. As the entry states, "...Zionism is an ideology of race." The ADL should exercise better judgement.

Little would increase anti-semitism more than allowing Zionists to censor (rather than debate) even inaccurate encyclopedia entries. This one is admirably accurate.

In the interest of fairness, honesty, truthfulness and freedom of speech, I urge you to please retain the entry on Zionism.

For more impact, add a personal comment here An accurate description. What can they say in response? It does not take a stand on what policies should be followed, but that is not its topic. Nor does it discuss the reactions of the Palestinian Arabs (Zionists probably make a point of this), but that is also not the subject here. It should be defended on the grounds both of accuracy and of free speech.

Everybody have to face the consequences of their acts. If a group of people behave so bad, we have to let it know. Thank you for being that bold to print this book.

The entry will only make the encyclopaedia complete; because without the entry it's just plainly incomplete. It is also the right thing to do--maintain free speech. Phil

If you're going to cave in to every organized pressure group, your encyclopedias will soon be on the same level as Wikipedia. Retain the article. Those who dislike it can publish another one in another encyclopedia.

Macmillan: I read the entry on Zionism in your Encyclopedia on Race and Racism and found it to be factual w/out bias. Thank you for including it. Please do retain it. To remove it would do a great disservice to your readers. (Recommended websites: Al-Awda.org, RighteousJews.org, ODSPI.org, PSLweb.org)

I agree with this previously written comment: "If you're going to cave in to every organized pressure group, your encyclopedias will soon be on the same level as Wikipedia. Retain the article. Those who dislike it can publish another one in another encyclopedia."
