I count myself as very lucky for the experience I have had and hope we one day get to a point where there can be dialogue among people (especially academics) who disagree. People should be able to explore different ideas without lies being spewed out or without having difficulties because they support Israel. One day, right?

I never knew you went through that at Asheville and now I appreciate your ideas more now

I am a political science major my school (the University of North Carolina at Asheville) and some of my professors, including my advisor, are pro-Palestinian. These professors though have encouraged me in what I want to do and have allowed me to argue in Israel's defense without belittling me or making me feel "wrong." It saddens me to see other political science departments become so politicized rather then being a great place of learning.
