You make a very good point. All across campuses in the US, you have students defending Hamas' actions in the name of "decolonization", the irony being that they are technically on "stolen" land themselves. Not to mention that anyone with such frame of mind considering this conflict doesn't understand the history of the land. Such violence is unacceptable regardless! It's a shame that this even needs to be reiterated.
This is the most accurate and succinct refutation I have seen of the insanity pervading our campuses. To say that you are incredibly brave to publish this piece in these terrifying times is an understatement but also an indictment of academia where extreme bravery IS required just to remind people that human rights apply to Jews. A profound thank you for this piece. I am sure I’m not alone when I say I’m looking forward to your next piece on how things got to this point.
“ the lobby of Blaustein there is an enormous posterboard proclaiming that “You are on Pequot and Mohegan homeland,” noting that “Connecticut College celebrates Indigenous People’s Day.””
I wonder if they have a similar sign in Istanbul University?
