Jewish Professor Calls Hamas Terrorists 'Murderers.' USC Bans Him From Teaching on Campus
PJ Media ^ | 11/27/2023 | Michael Cantrell

The October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel exposed the shocking level of anti-Semitism that still exists in the United States and other parts of the civilized world. You would think that the Holocaust and all of the stuff that's happened to Israel since then would have helped to eradicate hatred for this particular group of people, especially since so many cultures and societies claim to be "progressive" and focused on getting rid of racism and discrimination. Turns out that's not true at all.

There are plenty of examples to illustrate this reality, but the latest comes from the University of Southern California, where a Jewish economics professor is now not allowed to teach on campus after he made the suggestion to his students that Hamas terrorists should be killed.

I'm not sure what the problem with that statement is. Terrorists kill innocent people, including women and children. Many of these terrorists would rape, kill, and steal in the name of Allah without a second thought.

I'm nobody important, but that seems to me like an ideology that is a danger to society at large. Perhaps it's a good thing to wipe out evil terrorists? Just saying.

Professor John Strauss, who was highly esteemed at USC, now must teach classes remotely until the end of the semester due to his comments. All because he thinks evil, vile men who murdered his people should be taken out.

Check out more from "The College Fix":

At issue is an early November interaction the professor had with students engaged in a protest organized by USC Student Coalition Against Labor Exploitation, USC Graduates for Palestine, and Trojans for Palestine.

Old test for slander was to prove in court what you said about the target is true.

Such as someone who holds 10 months old baby hostage for further improvements in a deal. Or ones that were put into an oven. Or children and adults who were burned alive in home invasions. Women raped repeatedly in front of their children and then killed.

Can’t that be shown to be the actions of murderers?

Proof and the truth is Kryptonite to the Arabs. The fact that no Arab nation, not even the sponsor of the terrorist groups attacking Israel - Iran - wants the Palestinians is a good indicator of what this whole issue is about. It’s not about land or even justice. It is about murdering and killing Jews for the sake of killing.

It always makes me happy to see your generic college administrator having to make a policy where the answer is not in the Woke 2023 Handbook.

Unless some one can show us where it is written that speaking truth is banned.
