Hi,

Writer fired because he spoke out about the ongoing genocide of the palestinian people.

Please email the addresses below, let them know how you feel about this censorship.

Links to the articles which the paper does not want you to read:

"Jenin survivors ending the silence"

"Israel gets billions while Americans tighten belts"
 http://news.mysanantonio.com/story.cfm?xla=saen&xlb=1160&xlc=963728

Some words from the censored writer, Julio Noboa. "During my nine years as a columnist for the San Antonio Express-News, I have covered a wide variety of topics related to issues of justice, peace and equity, especially as they impact people of color here and abroad...

Many of you are already familiar with my writings and realize that the progressive perspectives I bring are rarely expressed in this, the only newspaper in town.

In fact, barely 11 percent of all the columns I have written over the past three years even deal with the Israeli-Palestinian issue.

This means that one of the few progressive views on a whole variety of topics including the war on Iraq, Latino issues and educational concerns, among others, will no longer be available to Express-News readers.

This is more profoundly an issue of free expression and political censorship."

From his last article: More progressive voices are needed

Please email the paper. Phone calls are even more effective.
