Professor Shalhoub-Kevorkian of Hebrew University in Jerusalem was arrested and treated quite harshly, and charged with publishing unacceptable views.

(They are similar, in grand lines, to my views and the views of many of my readers.)

Many colleagues and other academics have condemned the arrest as political repression. Even Hebrew University condemned it.

The cruel treatment of Shalhoub-Kevorkian in jail adds to the nastiness of this, but the core of the issue is the intention to prosecute people in Israel who demand a cease-fire.
