Not only that, but some of the protagonists of this academic pact appear in the appeal against the Israeli teachers. It should have been enough to read the report of Freedom House on Saudi universities to figure that maybe needed a little extra caution was in order because at stake is not oil, but our culture: “Academic freedom is limited, informers monitor classrooms for compliance with regulations, such as the prohibition of teaching secular philosophy and religions other than Islam.” …

Most people don’t like to think that they are for sale. But they are for sale.

Either that or they wait for the time when they think it’s safe i.e. socially acceptable to get on the sellout bandwagon.

Hope they enjoy Armageddon. The God of Israel takes this issue quite seriously.

Go ahead, Israel-haters, laugh it off. For now.

Italy is as secular as Israel is and Bologna and the university there have been enamored with Marxism for decades. Really not surprising at all. Tons of Muslims in Italy for decades also.

No truer words were sadly spoken.
Nor do most people have clear critical thinking skills in order to make appropriate moral comparisons.
Those aware of truth may find willful ignorance untolerable.
Have had to back off truth shaming acquaintances for social grace sake.
Examples:
Chinese 50 year old professional woman tried to tell us that Mao had nothing to do with the 50+ Million killed in Cultural Revolution.
The murders were caused by thug gangs independent of Communist gov’t...
Vietnamese MBA living the life here, told us there was no difference between Vietnam and the USA...
Americanized Indian professional exclaimed Islamic terrorism is no more a threat than Christian fundamentalist terrorists.
When confronted with facts of current islamic violence, and the fact that India had been brutally taken over by Islamic conquest, and gained a bit of relief once waves of Muslims migrated to Pakistan, he quickly changed the subject.

People are ignorant, illogical and culturally suicidal fools.

This is absolutely insane.
Why is the whole world it seems, coddling, protecting this savage, murdering, ‘religion’ that has plainly stated it intends to conquer the world?

The Italians have forgotten the centuries of war against Islam.
