Spain EXPELS students because they are Israeli.

Dear Friends of Israel, of Justice, and of Academic Freedom,
Your action is urgently needed. You can help overturn yet another malicious boycott effort launched against Israel.
Spain suddenly expelled Ariel University Center (AUC) students from the U.S. co-sponsored 2010 Solar Decathlon, a competition for building a self-sustaining solar house, even though AUC’s team was one of 20 selected finalists and had already received funds from Spain for their project. Spain claimed AUC’s location in the West Bank violated EU policy. No such EU policy exists, and many peace proposals place Ariel inside Israel’s future borders with the Palestinians. Spain simply capitulated to pressure from the Palestinian BDS (boycott, sanctions, and divestment) movement.
Spain’s actions violate all standards for international cooperation to advance human knowledge. Singling out Israel
for special discrimination is anti- Semitic.
If we work together, we can get the AUC team reinstated, but we must work quickly. The students need to be reinstated in time to
build their solar house.
Please take a few minutes to compel Spain to reverse its discriminatory decision by doing three things:

2. Sign the petition.
3. Fax or email protest letters to the relevant authorities: Spanish government officials, U.S. Department of Energy, and the U.S. State Department and your Congressional representatives. We have provided the addresses and sample letters you can send to each group.
   
4. Encourage others around the globe to sign the petition and write letters. Familiarize yourself with the issues so you can share this urgent message with others. Our petition website includes all the background information you will need.

The AUC students must be reinstated, or the U.S. should withdraw its co-sponsorship of the event. Thank you for your timely help!
