MLA Members for Justice in Palestine on MLA Commons 11 years agoWould that the blade cut equally in both directions. To compare a lecturer’s losing a job with the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who are humiliated in a routine and daily manner by the “only democracy in the Middle East” is either callow or callous.
