I wonder if the other presidents who testified will also resign. Apparently, all three were unable to outright condemn demonstrators’ chants for the genocide of the Jews of Israel (who of course comprise the majority of the Jewish population of the world), as is of course the true meaning of the “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free”. Because after all, as President Obama said, you have to consider “in context” the massacre of 1200 human beings, men, women, children, elderly, and infants, their being raped, maimed, mutilated, tortured, and burned alive by Hamas, and 240 human beings, also including women, elderly, children, and infants, being kidnapped and held hostage by Hamas. Guess there is no such thing in the world as absolute evil, when it comes to Palestinians’ desire and goal to destroy the State of Israel and exterminate all its Jews.
All Palestinians, or Hamas?
I’ve been watching Once upon a time in Northern Ireland to stop my despair (I think it’s on PBS or Prime).
Wrt that resignation, it’s more like she threw in the towel… it just wasn’t sustainable.
Though the exact question was about this being harassment.
An issue is that this is vile speech I’d personnally have no issue banning (I’m not a free speech absolutist and whenever violence is advocated toward a group that has historically been targeted, yup I draw a line)… but harassment requires some sort of repeated action.
Her reply was, at best, tone-deaf, but I’m sure the answer to “does calling for Intifada constitute harassment” DOES depend on context.
I hope no one here confuses Palestinians and Hamas. There hasn’t been an election there in 16 years and Hamas has killed or pushed into exile all serious opposition leaders anyway. In September confidence in and support for Hamas in Gaza was 20% - which is the ground level number in any country for whoever is in power.
Unlikely to improve things at Penn, or the other schools under attack.
