by The Black Hour (theblackhour [at] gmail.com)
Two weeks after the Middle Eastern Childrens' Alliance for Peace (MECA) announced that Zionist groups had pressured the Oakland Museum of Children's Art (MOChA) to cancel its planned exhibit of Palestinian children's artwork, dozens came out to protest censorship. The art was made by children depicting the 2008-09 Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip.
