    Excluding Omar Barghouti's voice by barring his entry into the US is a travesty of justice that will deny Americans a greater understanding of a pressing human rights issue. Do something about it! Sign our petition in partnership with @jvplive: secure.everyaction.com/qE_Z473r60-pFe…?

    "Change is coming. Those who have been able to use pressure to silence debate on Israeli behaviors and Palestinian rights need to learn that continuing to do so will not silence voices of dissent, they will only make them stronger."- @jjz1600 #Palestine aaiusa.org/game_over
