The amount of reactionary academics that elite universities of the West harbour is undescribable, especially the older generation that gatekeeps them.
There is nothing intellectual about weaponizing antisemitism to silence critics of Western-backed 1sra3li massacres.
Israel does not target innocents.
If your reaction is "that must be a lie, since there are dead innocents", I think it implausible that you've never thought about warfare. More plausible that you've been captured by an ancient, deadly Pattern of immoral thinking about Jews.
