The two online chairs, as they are called, had decided to solicit an essay from a Palestinian scholar for the journal’s website. Eghbariah was an obvious choice: A Palestinian doctoral candidate at Harvard Law School and human rights lawyer, he has tried landmark Palestinian civil rights cases before the Israeli Supreme Court.Eghbariah submitted a draft of a 2,000-word essay by early November.

Yet it will never be published with the Harvard Law Review.Fol...
