The message originates in Israel where a group of Israeli academics are rallying support for Dr. Budeiri. Read on and do what you can best do. When I feed the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist. Dr. Budeiri may loose his ability to live in his country of birth.
Urgent action is necessary.
Mussa was teaching last year for few months at the New school in New York. The withdrawal of residence or the right to travel and to work where he wishes is a denial of his basic human rights. He is also denied his basic right to join with his family in his native country. We Israeli academics have all travelled much, we feel that he is denied his rights not for traveling but for being a Palestinian. Getting rid of small numbers of Palestinians one by one, every year- may not catch the eye of the world but in the long run it amounts to the same effect, it is ethnic cleansing.
