Crazy fascism here. It was much the same for vocal critics of the Iraq War. They were ostracized and put out of work.
I hope that we can all tow the line of the thought police. Make sure that every thought is in line with the wealthy white donors of the world.


Pretty foolish to sign on to statements like that while applying to big law firms.

Wrong.


Right. Correct. If you crticize Israel you are anti-semitic. Even in Israel.

Do you recall the actions of Stanford Law? There's only freedom of speech if they agree with your views.

Students have every right to make these statements, and employers have every right to withdraw employment offers. Actions have consequences. I’m not sure how it was “doxxing” when the signers of the Harvard letter signed under their student organizations and it’s easy to find out who heads them.

Right. Its political censorship. No one can criticize Israel without consequences.

Good.

Hope this spreads to many other ridiculously radical universities, such as Evergreen and Berkeley.

This is idiotic. It is perfectly reasonable and legitimate to criticize Netanyahu policies and NOT be anti-Israel. Anyone who disagrees has a deeply muddled brain and is not qualified to engage in outrage and accusation.

They are not being cancelled for criticizing Israeli policies. They are being cancelled for celebrating or justifying the murder and rape of women and children.

Criticism of Israel is not the issue. Rather, the issue is the shameful and demented failure to condemn Hamas.

Do Evergreen grads even get job offers to … anywhere?

Another major donor to the University of Pennsylvania has pulled his support over the college’s failure to condemn the Hamas terrorist attacks — and even more are considering following suit.

David Magerman, who helped build Renaissance Technologies, slammed his alma mater’s “misguided moral compass” and said he will “refuse to donate another dollar to Penn” in a letter to president Elizabeth Magill and board chair Scott Bok posted to X.

“Over the past month, I have been deeply embarrassed by my association with and support for the University of Pennsylvania,” he wrote in the letter Monday.

“The leadership of the university has failed to demonstrate the values I expect from an institution that purports to educate young adults and prepare them for a lifetime of leadership and to be emissaries for good in the world.”

Magerman went on to hammer Magill and Bok for what he described as their “fierce support for the Hamas-affiliated speakers at the Palestine Writes Festival, followed by your equivocating statements about the heinous acts of barbarism perpetrated by the same Hamas you allowed these speakers to promote.”

The pro-Palestinian festival included author Aya Ghanameh, who has called for “Death to Israel,” and writer Randa Abdel-Fattah, who has said Israel is a “demonic, sick project” and that she “can’t wait for the day we commemorate its end.”

Everyone should remember what these students did (they should have been publicly identified and expelled from the university):

Meh, doesn't seem too atypical for stuff that has gone on at similar colleges for decades. There are always protests, hunger strikes, sit ins, storm admin building etc.

Just the cause of the day changes.
