Stanford Lecturer Suspended After Singling Out Jewish Students: Report
Daily Beast ^ | October 12, 2023 | AJ McDougall

An instructor at Stanford University has been suspended as the school investigates allegations he targeted students based on their “identities and backgrounds” during two classes in which he gave impromptu lectures on the Israel-Hamas conflict.

In one of the classes, the lecturer began by blaming the war on Zionists before asking “Jewish students to raise their hands,” Nourya Cohen, a Jewish student leader, told the San Francisco Chronicle.

“He asked how many Jews died in the Holocaust,” Cohen said, adding that when someone replied six million, “he said, ‘Yes. Only six million.’”

A rabbi who said he spoke to three students in the class told the Jewish news outlet Forward that the lecturer continued, “Colonizers killed more than six million. Israel is a colonizer.”

Cohen and another student leader alleged that the teacher then went around separating students in the classes out as either a “colonizer” or “colonized,” depending on where they said they were from.

On Wednesday, Stanford’s president and provost released a statement saying the instructor “is not currently teaching while the university works to ascertain the facts of the situation.”

Openly instance teachers. Openly Marxist elected officials like that joker in Colorado. They’ve got to go, even just one at a time. I’m convinced that the trans madness started the turn of the tide. But it took us 60 years years to get here and it will be a long March back

“Colonizers killed more than six million. Israel is a colonizer.”

Arab Muslims are the biggest colonizers in human history. And the biggest enslavers of Africans (and White europeans) as well. ALL of this bloody, barbaric history is whitewashed and hidden from students across the West. Amazing.

he’s describing the entire history of human civilization for 6000 years or more. Why focus on just the last 200-300? Does this guy have any idea how many empires ruled the region we know now as the Middle East over the millennia? All the current nation-states in the region (and the concept of a nation state is relatively modern - Italy and Germany were not even countries until the late 1800s) were created by the British, who took them from the Turks in 1917, who took them from the Egyptians and the previous Arab regional rulers such as al-Hussain keepers of Mecca (moved by Britain to Transjordan to make room for Al-Saud family)…. There were the Romans, who took them from the Assyrians and Egyptians and Hebrews, who took them from the Babylonians… and on and on. I may have the sequence wrong and left some gaps but you get the point. This is human history for all recorded time (and thus very likely since before known records people move from place to place, often violently or resulting from violence, natural disaster, or for reasons such as safety, greed, resources/survival, tribal grudges and more.

Jews are the indigenous people of the Holy Land, having a continuous precess for about 4000(?) years. They also have a deed in the Bible.

The Egyptians, Babylonians. Romans, Ottomans, Arabs, etc., were occupiers and colonists.

Perfect example about why the majority of college edgukated young’ns of today are completely brainwashed idiots. Got “teachers” like that. Defund your local “woke” brainwashing university.

It is interesting the left have popularized the term “colonizer” to describe current property owners. It implies that the current owner acquired their property illegally and that they are justified in taking it back. Diabolical.
