Fulbright Gaza

Hello dear ones,

I am deeply concerned about a decision that has been made by the US State Department.

There is a New York Times article about Gazans who were awarded Fulbright Grants to study for a Masters in America. It would mean a lot to me if you would read it.

Fulbright is an exchange program. I am a US Fulbrighter studying abroad, but on the other end of it Fulbright sends people from all over the world to the US, they do their Masters, and return home "better educated in their field, and about America".

There were 7 Gazan students who were supposed to come to the United States to study for their Masters. Their grants were canceled because Israel will not let them out.

Here is a blog we outraged Fulbrighters are working on:
