A Message to Israel-Apartheid Week Organizers
March 4, 2009 16:08 by BackSpin Editor Must read: Ishmael Khaldi, a Bedouin diplomat, articulately addresses the organizers of Israel Apartheid Week.
In 2006, the SF Chronicle profiled Khaldi's fascinating story when he became the first Muslim to join Israel's diplomatic corps. He serves as deputy consul for the Pacific Northwest.
Meanwhile, Vlad Tepes rightly refers to Israel Apartheid Week as "Durban Lite." I completely agree.

One of the most constructive things written on this issue is the statement from the Alumni for Responsible Speech
http://www.connexions.org/SafeLearning.htm
which states that “we believe that universities, as public institutions, have a duty to ensure a safe learning environment for students and faculty, and to take corrective action when free speech or academic freedom are misused in an irresponsible way.”
Their statement sets out concrete steps that can and should be taken to ensure a safe learning environment.
