Here is the latest press release relating to the attempt to deny distribution to Pluto Press for publishing Professor Joel Kovel's book entitled Overcoming Zionism.
Executive Board of the University of Michigan Press:
Statement on the status of the Pluto Press contract
October 22, 2007
The University of Michigan Press Executive Board unanimously agreed to continue the distribution contract between the University of Michigan Press and Pluto Press under existing contract terms.
Distribution agreements are undertaken strictly as business relationships and have historically been a small part of the UM Press's business. Currently, the Press distributes for five publishers. As is the case with all such commercial arrangements, books distributed on behalf of clients are not edited, reviewed, or produced by the UM Press, and they do not bear the imprimatur of the Press or of the University of Michigan.
University presses typically do not have stated guidelines for distribution agreements, but
the recent controversy surrounding the contract with Pluto Press has underscored the need for them. In the coming year, Executive Board members will develop policy guidelines for distribution agreements. Underlying its deliberations will be the principle of freedom of expression, which is both fundamental to the University of Michigan's educational mission and integral to the UM Press's goals.
"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." -- Wendell Phillips
Quoting Phillips is appropriate because he was a leading abolitionist. Zionism is a crime similar to Southern Slavery, and many of its primary ideas can be traced to John C. Calhoun's defense of Slavery.
Just as abolitionism was the only ethical response to Southern Slavery, a new abolitionism to dismantle the Zionist state and anathematize Zionist ideology is the only acceptable course of action today.

see video: Zionist Pressure Fails to Stop Overcoming Zionism Book The distributor dropped his book after receiving threatening emails from a Zionist pressure group. But the Committee for Open Discussion of Zionism was able to convince them to continue distributing it.
