The Hawblog: [haw-info] Letter in solidarity with Professor Rabab Abdulhadi of San Francisco State University

Dear HAW members,

I am sending you the attached "International Academic and Public Intellectuals Letter," inviting your signature. It expresses solidarity with the Palestinian-American scholar Rabab Abdulhadi, Director of the Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Initiative (AMED) at SFSU. She has been the target of a vicious attack from the rightwing pro-Israel group AMCHA. I helped author the letter, which is being circulated globally.
