Submit letter of application, resume, writing samples, salary requirements, references by 31 December 2010 to employment@palestine-studies.org

PLEASE FORWARD THIS

I suppose that 'sound political/editorial judgment' means that anyone who's pro-Israel won't qualify. But if any of you wants to apply, I'd be happy to recommend you.

By the way, what the heck are 'Palestine studies'? How can you study something that doesn't exist and never has existed?

Heh.
