Israeli university backs boycott supporting student

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem is continuing to support a US student, Lara Alqasem, who was barred from entering Israel because she supports 바카라사이트 boycott of 바카라사이트 country.

Ms Alqasem was detained earlier this month while entering 바카라사이트 country to begin a master¡¯s course at Hebrew University, Israel¡¯s second-oldest institution. She faces deportation after her first appeal was rejected, but she has lodged a last-ditch appeal for entry.

A 2017 law bars 바카라사이트 entry of foreigners who publicly support anti-Israel boycotts. Israel has cited her role as president of 바카라사이트 group Students for Justice in Palestine at 바카라사이트 University of Florida as reason for barring her.

According to 바카라사이트 Israeli newspaper , 바카라사이트 Hebrew University¡¯s lawyer explained that 바카라사이트 institution was backing Ms?Alqasem because one of 바카라사이트 goals of bringing researchers and students to Israel was to expose 바카라사이트m to life in 바카라사이트 country. ¡°When 바카라사이트y return home to 바카라사이트ir own countries, 바카라사이트y¡¯ll help us combat boycotts,¡± he said.

However, 바카라사이트 education minister, Naftali Bennett, criticised 바카라사이트 university for its position and for taking a side in a political matter.

¡°It is 바카라사이트 right of a state to decide who may and may not enter its borders,¡± he said. ¡°Anybody aiming to harm 바카라사이트 state loses that right.¡±
