 Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, at UC Irvine , February 8, 2010.

The UCI students might face suspension or expulsion.
You can help by voicing your support.

Contact UCI Chancellor Michael Drake NOW to declare that it is unjust to arrest these students.

Ask to speak with Chancellor Drake or leave a message at: (949) 824 5011 and email him at: deanstu@uci.edu

Here are some important points to bring up:

· It was unjust to arrest students for simply having the courage to stand up and speak out against a man responsible for propagating the deaths of thousands of innocent people.

· Civil disobedience has historically played an instrumental role in the civil rights movement in America that eventually ensured equality and human rights for all minorities.

· Michael Oren is a representative of a state that is condemned by more UN Human Rights Council resolutions than all other countries in the world and he should not be honored at UC Irvine.

· As concerned community members, we will not support an educational institution that threatens to punish its students with suspension and expulsion for standing up for their principles.
