Heavily-armed soldiers blocked roads during &#8220;the operation&#8221;. When my family opened the door, they demanded to see me.\u00a0 They were told I have already left to the  US.\u00a0 After many more questions, they left a paper that states I am to appear at the military liaison office next  Monday.\u00a0 My sister and wife told them I  will not be back by then. Clearly the warning from that military officer at Ush Ghrab that <a href=\"http:\/\/lists.qumsiyeh.org\/pipermail\/humanrights\/2010-March\/000120.html\">I mentioned in my last email<\/a>, was based on knowledge of this. I guess I am a wanted man now for engaging in nonviolent protest! \u00a0Those who were at that event and have video, please contact me.\u00a0 What disturbs me is not the risk to me; any action against oppression is taken knowing there are personal risks.\u00a0 What disturbs me is that this has an effect on my family and thousands of friends around the world who care (and some of it unpredictable).\u00a0 My 76 year old mother asks on the phone that I not go back and that I work in the US for a while, a very painful suggestion for a mother to make about her only remaining son near her! \u00a0I try to assure her that I have done nothing wrong and will not leave her\u2026but she brings up many examples of people who also did not do any violence and were arrested, imprisoned, and their families had to go through a lot.\u00a0 A friend who heard about this stated I have nothing to worry about, that this was to hassle me to get us to stop being active. Another lost sleep trying to figure out what we can do.\u00a0 \u00a0I assure her that I will carry on with my speaking tour as planned and that this will blow over one day. (the song \u201cwe shall overcome someday\u201d comes to mind).<\/p>\n<p><strong>[<a href=\"http:\/\/lists.qumsiyeh.org\/pipermail\/humanrights\/2010-March\/000121.html\">Read more<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Human Rights Newsletter 2 March 2010 By Mazin Qumsiyeh The Israeli army invaded our neighborhood at 1:30 AM Tuesday morning waking up my mother, wife and sister.
