The Shahid.

This article focuses on Tony Judt's cancellation of a talk on "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy" at the Polish Consulate in New York. The cancellation comes after Robert Redeker, a philosophy teacher in Toulouse, France, was forced into hiding due to death threats for claiming there are aggressive and bigoted elements in the Koran. Not long after, Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered. The Anti-Defamation League put pressure on Judt to cancel his talk, which the author views as an attempt to interfere with the free expression of Judt's thinking.
