Tale of Two Cities: an Israeli Professor, an Arab Professor

“Ben-Gurion University will not fire Dr. Neve Gordon, who endorsed a boycott of Israel, but officials call on him to resign his post as head of the Political Science Department. University Rector Professor Jimmy Weinblatt met Thursday with faculty members who singed a petition supporting Gordon and told them he thinks it is not appropriate that Gordon continue on in his position and that he must reach the proper conclusions….. However, Weinblatt stressed that Gordon's status as faculty member will not be compromised and that the University administration will no violate his civic and academic freedom of expression…….” Ynet (Israel)

Just the kind of freedom we enjoy and respect in the rest (non-Jewish part) of the Middle East. The kind we fight for, when others are not.
Cheers and Ramadan Kareem
