Professor Russell Rickford, whom I have had the fortunate experience of studying with, is under malicious attack from Zionists. His commitment to justice has been unwavering and there is a vicious campaign calling for his resignation. This baseless campaign is based on a 2 minuted doctored audio without context. Please find attached a petition that seeks to protect Professor Rickford and those who have the courage to affirm the basic humanity of Palestinians. Please share with others.    This audio is his speech in full, any well-meaning person listening will be able to understand how they have twisted his words.    Transcript to full speech found here   Petition: https://www.change.org/p/save-professor-russell-rickford-a-stand-for-academic-freedom-and-free-speech?recruiter=1319666233&recruited_by_id=c7672730-6ebb-11ee-ba2a-bfb0a48ef6e9&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_content=cl_sharecopy_37702492_en-US%3Acv_489296
