Date: 2011/6/6<br>Subject: Re: regarding your (cancelled) Israel visit<br>To: Hetz Ben Hamo <a href="mailto:hetzbh@gmail.com">hetzbh@gmail.com</a><br><br><br>I don't advocate a blanket boycott of Israeli universities, but I am<br>
not going to campaign against it either. I see where they are coming<br>
from: Israel's occupation policies are horrible. Nonviolent protests<br>
are crushed with persistent brutality. (See<br>

<br>
Palestinians who are against violence are looking desperately for<br>
some method of nonviolent resistance. I can't blame them for it<br>
even if I don't agree entirely with the details. Thus, I decided<br>
to follow their policies in the trip they organized.<br>
<br>
I wish I had discussed the issue in advance and avoided<br>
having to cancel a plan I had agreed to.<br>
<br>
I will give at least one talk in Israel, at a non-university venue,<br>
and I am hoping more can be arranged.<br>
