There is an old joke -- "they call it corruption in asian countries, they call it lobbying in western countries"

Similarly here, they call it banned books in middle eastern countries, they call it anti-semitism in western countries.

These studies like to discuss banned books in middle eastern countries because it helps people here feel good about deporting people for writing op-ed articles: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/tufts-student-from-tur...

they can create the image of our civilized world here in the west as compared to the "unfree" world in the middle east
