On <STRONG>November 2</STRONG>, Hebrew University student Ali Bahar was detained for three hours after refusing to shake hands with Israeli president Shimon Peres. Visiting the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Peres was congratulating students on the opening of the academic year. Upon approaching Bahar, the student refused to shake Peres' hand and stated "I will not shake hands with murderer of kids."   Immediately following the encounter, Bahar was detained by university security personnel and his student ID was confiscated.  His student ID will not be returned until a disciplinary committee at Hebrew University investigates the incident. Bahar is currently chair of the Arab Student Body of Hebrew University and a member of <A href="http://www.abnaa-elbalad.org/engballad1.html">Abna al-Balad</A>, a movement working for the human and legal rights of Palestinians.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/11/04/18548822.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.indybay.org/img/C6C6C89E-0F31-4D9F-9047-D891A6027AB9" alt="Student Detained after Refusing to Shake Hand with Israel’s President" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/11/04/18548822.php">calling Peres as a "murderer of kids," Bahar was referring to the Qana Massacre in Lebanon by the Israeli occupation forces. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7B988357-111C-43AB-8D88-09E29601498C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
