Haifa divides over restaurant's ban on Israeli soldier

By Jonathan Cook

"........Two years ago, an Arab lecturer, Nizar Hassan, was suspended from his job at Sapir College in the Negev after he admonished a student who arrived at his class armed and in uniform. The college president threatened to dismiss Dr Hassan if he did not apologise to the soldier and publicly express hisrespect for the IDF [Israeli military] uniform”.


An Arab professor at Haifa University was ejected from a city restaurant last year when he objected to a military-style T-shirt worn by a waiter that advocated the killing of Palestinian children. "
