Quoting the latest Israeli Basic Law is hate speech

Columbia is a university of intellectual cowards for letting this happen.
spits on the ground
She's a professor emerita who seems to have retired two years ago, maybe? Keep lecturing what you'd normally lecture and make Columbia have to argue how they employed an antisemitic Holocaust survivor descendant for 50 years. Make them explain how your teachings became antisemitic if they remained the same for 50 years.
If teaching the horrific catalyst that lead to creating the state of Israel is now anti-Jewish, then something had to have changed. If it's not the lecture and it's not history, then some big ol' fuckery seems to be going on, now doesn't it?
It doesn't sound like she's afraid of being sanctioned by Columbia. Rather, it sounds like she's disgusted by Columbia and no longer wishes to be associated with them.
While supporters say the semantic shift is necessary to combat evolving forms of Jewish hate, civil liberties groups warn it will further suppress pro-Palestinian speech already under attack by President Donald Trump.
It's a very obvious ploy to eliminate anything that contradicts their narrative.
When you change the definition of anti-semitism to include any criticism of Pissreal, that's called being anti-semantic.
I mean, you could say the actual name. I don’t think you’ll get banned.
I prefer genocidal illegitimate jizzrael
What name did he not get right?
Um, Israel.
I’m assuming there’s not really a country called “Pissreal” but I’ve been wrong before.
There certainly isn't a country named Israel.
That is some temporary entity in occupied Palestine.
You sure about that? You’re not writing this from an occupied land are you?
What a weird thing to say. AFAIK Belgium isn't occupied.
Might as well be since our government like most of the EU countries and US are obediently allowing the holocaust in Palestine.
It’s a weird US thing to say. The whole country was stolen. It’s a whole . . . deal.
I'm Belgian so obviously not from the US banana republic.
And why this whataboutism?
Besides they don't compare since Palestine is ongoing and the monsters haven't managed to genocide all of them yet.
So you have little to no remembered national experience of creating a country where there was none before.
Which seems nice.
IDK what you are trying to say
Okay.
May leave?????? What am I missing here?
NYPosty Murdochisms?
