I would appreciate your posting this on the listserve. I am sending a petition against the BDS boycott of Israeli anthropologists, which I believe will be both against the spirit of academic freedom and quite counterproductive. If you agree, please sign and circulate. Our government will only rejoice at having its critics silenced.
