Palestinian Israeli Unable to Go to Reproductive Rights Conference
I was forwarded a letter from Professor Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian via a Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) listserv. Professor Shalhoub-Kevorkian was humiliated at the Ben Gurion airport. After ransacking her personal belongings, the Israeli security officers decided she could not board the airplane with her laptop (which she needed to write a lecture for the “Women and Sexual Reproductive Rights” conference she was trying to attend in Tunis.)
The letter can be read in its entirety on Margaret's Wanderings blog. I urge you to read it to understand the human consequence of the Israeli apartheid state.
