Lifetime Most Censored Award
Alison Weir, writing in "Censored 2005: The Top 25 Censored Stories" produced by the Sociology Department of Sonoma State University, proposes:
...a special Lifetime Most Censored Award and that among the first to receive it be the following writers whose extraordinary work has continually been censored out of American discourse on the Middle East:
- Richard Curtiss, for his massive research into all aspects of Israel and Palestine, in particular on U.S. aid to Israel and the Israeli PACs
- James Ennes, for his being the first to gather and expose the story of the USS Liberty and its coverup
- Andrew Killgore, for his numerous writings and his historic roll, with Richard Curtiss, in founding and keeping alive the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs and the American Educational Trust book publishing
- Paul Findley, for his ground-shaking research on the Israel Lobby and the injustice being done to Palestinians and Muslims
- Stephen Green, for his meticulous investigative reporting on Israeli spying and arms procurement
- Alfred Lilienthal, for his early and principled exposés of Israel, and especially,
- Donald Neff, for his brilliant and comprehensive books on all aspects of Israel, Palestine, and the core injustice at the center of the Middle East.
In memoriam awards should go to
- Edward Said, who broke through this censorship, and to
- Grace Halsell and Elmer Berger, who sadly did not.
