#UniversityofPennsylvania #Israel #News
Even the constitution must back down to Zionism; That can not be the norm
Ron White, the comedian said it best…
“You can’t fix stupid. “😳🤣🤣
So the answer to Congresswoman Stefanik question was in fact ————– ‘no’.
I hope the current presidents of Harvard and MIT also RESIGN!
Good! Smug and heartless witch.
When academics lose basic common sense…
A real example of the left, the antisemitism and prejudice that exists and being taught in our schools.
The hypocrisy is astounding while the 🇺🇸 is tolerating the slaughter of innocent Palestinians.
I don’t think you understand the issue at hand, Frank. It’s about universities policies regarding students openly supporting the genocide of an ethnic group on school grounds. That’s all. It doesn’t matter what the U.S. government is tolerating, or what Israel is doing, or Hamas.
Freedom of speech
Thank God shes gone.
It seems to be all women , not just in universities but in all walks of life who are overseeing the woke ideology.
Jewish fragility should be studied by scientists
Usual suspect they all look alike
ms Stefanik is disgusting
So are the 99.99 % of politicians, natty. Anyway, Stefanik question about university policies regarding the calling for genocide was fair and proper.
@@roberto8ag not fair and not proper. Calling for genocide of Palestinians is failure. Calling AGAINST genocide of Palestinians is fair and proper.
Are university students calling for the genocide of Palestinians on school grounds? … and without administrative consequences? I don’t think that’s an issue, natty.
@@roberto8ag The university students calling AGAINST the genocide of Palestinians and for punishment of war criminals. The “friends of Israel” called that “anti-semitism” That is the issue
Nobody, literally no one has a problem with what you mentioned natty. Students are not being expelled or sanctioned for being against Israel actions.
Punish her pls…..the way she lies is like a Touch of Evil
We know NBC news is fully on team genocide .
They entered Congress smug, and sure of themselves because they truly believed that the wokeness they peddle would be accepted by the majority of Americans. A shift back to common sense, and critical thinking is afoot. It’s long overdue.
Your just bad NEWS
Would the Harvard President allow protests calling for the total extermination of the black population to be held on her campus? And why didn’t anyone ask her that?
People like her has caused these problem s but the world will be next there not only after JEWS time to wake up !!!!!!
I wouldn’t have but ok
Quick question what about the genocide of Palestinians… so is that acceptable because they are not “mega donors” to Penn. So it’s not about merit it’s about money.
She tried to fire someone at the faculty who said there are only 2 sexes, man and woman. What a hypocrisie, she need to prosecuted.
No more free speech. We live under a Zionists dictatorship
No more free speech? What are you talking about?
Have Hussein Obama anything to do with anti-Semitism campaign in US campuses..
If so is it not immediately necessary to keep him away from American policy making.
Busted! 😂😂😂
Some of you never read “1984” and it shows………..
They think because they have power they can alter the truth. The killer and aggresser and occupiers. Became now a victims just because they are Jews. Regardless of all the crimes they committing right now in broad day light.
She never should have been hired
Not a law professor here. A call to violence has never been protected under the 1st amendment. This isn’t hard to understand
I wonder how the US survivors of our genocide against the indigenous people of North America feel about all of this outrage. If I were living on a reservation, and heard and saw this hypocrisy, I would be furious.
No idea, how hypocrisy comes into play on this situation, philoctetes. Are students on universities calling for the genocide of Native Americans on school grounds? … and without consequences?
It’s clear to me she had no intention of standing up against the genocidal intentions of the moronic students at UPenn. College is failing students and failing the country as the woke idiocy festers.
Time for Harvard and MIT to do the same thing…..
The fact that she is still allowed to be a faculty in the University is really disturbing….
Why disturbing ? It’s time to stand up and speak the truth without being afraid of big donor blackmail.
Shes looks like shed be hateful
Reagan had the backbone to deny israel aid for arms.
The fake quiver in her voice. Word vs real genocide. Not a word that israel is actually committing genocide. Reagan had the backbone to deny israel aid for arms.
A brave woman telling the truth
Now they can get someone more far right who is truly antisemitic.
Speech alone is not punishable??? Since when? What constitution is she talking about? Free speech is not at all what people think it means, you can get arrested for saying all kinds of stuff
Fascism from the left
Not at the length of a broom stick should we let people like this near young people. …….sheer brainwashed ignorance
I’m not in shock by college leadership responses because you can’t learn common sense in a textbook
I’m Black… Let me say it straight… if those students had made any type of hateful statement about killing Blacks let alone a genocide they would have immediately and permanently been expelled!!! Why didn’t they do that? Because she didn’t want to upset a bunch of rich mommies and daddies that’s why.
……..Segregation happens in Israel every day. The Jews are the whites and the palestinians are the blacks.
It is called Apartheid. The Zionists in the west need to stop supporting Apartheid in Israel…The Zionists are trying to silence everyone’s voice. If you want people to stop being angry at you then stop the slaughter of women and children in gaza.
It is not acceptable to mass murder civilians. And now you want to silence free speech. All the Zionist Jews in the west are to blame for supporting Israel as an Apartheid State. What a bunch of Hypocrites. Enough is Enough.
And if Biden will not put an end to the genocide of these people then we need to vote him out of office…….
Bottom line: don’t let pro terror countries like Qatar fund your universities
😂😂😂😂😂😅BYE BYE NOW
All you have to do is swap out “Jews” for any other opressed minority and these people would have ripped apart the offenders like a crazed dog.
Despite its “progress,” society has yet to dispose of the festering pus-filled wound that is antisemitism.
Imagine if anti-white hate and rhetoric received this amount of attention!
Good bless Israel 🇮🇱 miss McGill 😂😂😂😂
GENOCIDE OF JEWS???
Yeah PALESTINIAN JEWS PALESTINIAN CHRISTIANS‼️ PALESTINIAN MUSLIMS ‼️ #FREEPALESTINE #CEASEFIRENOW
Ba Bye!!!
It’s like McCarthyism. ! You can condemn a leader or a businessman, right ? Try to scare people to silence their words ?
ANTISEMITISM AS DEFINED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE: “Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.” Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic.” SO, CRITICIZING ISRAEL’S POLITICAL POLICIES IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE DEFINITION OF ANTI-SEMITISM. AIPAC CONSISTENTLY INCLUDES CRITICISM OF ISRAEL’S POLITICAL POLICIES AS ANTISEMITIC. AIPAC AND LIKE MINDED INSTITUTIONS ARE ACTUALLY ANTI FREE SPEECH!!!
total terror system… omg
Bravo for UPenn!!! Waiting for the same decision for ladies FROM Harvard and MIT. OUT-OUT-OUT!!!
She should not be permitted to resign and return to her cushy tenured position….she should be escorted off the campus.
GAZA — A day after being forced out of the University of Pennsylvania, Liz Magill has been announced as the new President of the Hamas Institute of Technology.
“Experience leading premier universities and comfort with Jewish genocide is a rare combination, and Ms. Magill has it in spades,” said Haitham Hawajri, a university board member
She needs to go. This is one time that the media will not be able to bail out a fellow liberal.
Religion needs to stay out of non-religious Universities. FREEDOM OF SPEECH to CALL OUT the *IDF TERRORIST GENOCIDE*
Bye
Do not just replace her with one more liberal loan.
Good riddens
😂😂😂 she cops out to the 1st amendment but forgets HATE SPEECH is not protected 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ these our the people atop the systems molding the youth of our nation…
She was honoring free speech but also respecting that actions are the ultimate harm. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. As a black person we learn that phrase before elementary school. We know hate speech, we know genocide, we know how words supersede actions…words can give life to actions! We must love, speak love, and act love!
You are believing the story that this is antisemitism rather than just pro Palestine protesting. The USA Goverment shut down Malcolm X the same way.
@@aaronarmijo3626 It is NOT pro Palestine. It is pure antisemitism. Read a book on Germany in the late 30’s and open your gullible eyes.
Upenn is rotten..from the top down. Defund the rotten apple
One rich man can take away rights of millions of Americans by threatening not to donate. He takes away all your children’s rights freedom of expression, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, and freedom to protest all gone 1% can eliminates all rights for 99%.This only happens in America.
GOOD RIDDANCE !!! WHO’SE NEXT?
This is what the USA Goverment and it’s Goverment Media has coming fir us. This is only the beginning!
The pro-Israeli lobby is humiliating the US elite.
So its ok when zionists are calling for the genocide of the Palestinians
Kanye was perfectly right
I am amazed that someone sitting in a congregational set would ask for someone to pick one culture over a nother!!!
America. Obey your overlords.
Israel is not just abusing the USA by taking, taking, taking money and weapons, it is destroying the US Constitution (particularly the First Amendment) and the lives of many Americans who are not happy to go along with apartheid and genocide.
Zionism has roots in every American institutions. Defending immorality, unreason…punishing morality, reason…This congresswoman nearly in tears because there’s a genocide happening in ‘israel’ is disgusting, among others. Well done for the dean although she has retracted later because ‘they’ put her and her family under pressure.
The wealthy and donors are the ones who control the United States. They control education. They control the media. They control the economy. They control everything and direct the American people like a herd without realizing the truth. Do not support anyone before you think and read the facts from different, neutral sources.
well nobody in the world wants or is advocating any genocide against jews. Actually the evil state in the middle east is actually making a genocide against children of Gaza.
i feel all this is made up to divert focus of what really matters.
NOW Y’ALL GET TO SWALLOW THE SAME “WOKE” CANCEL CULTURE BS YOU’VE BEEN SHOVELING.
Not donate, is OK, but make pressure to get head’sresignation is unethical ! What are your qualifications ?
For me, it’s like Sam Bankman-Fried trying to push these presidents to resignation !
I have never thought the American people are just slave labor for just some Zionists.I think Afghanistan has much more freedom of speech.
I wonder if they like cancer culture when it’s applied on them.
she gets tenure ,goes back to the classroom she ‘nuances’ antisemitisn
a lateral move to protect her,after all she is a democrat they take care of their own
had white kids called for genocide of black people she and a hundred whiteys ‘da been out on the fired line yesterday
my god this stupid narrative.Israel is actually committing a genocide against the Palestinians what happened to our country?
your politician servise israel actually
Pennsylvania shame…. Liz got fired to save $200 M…. PENN is still woke
New Mccarthyism is back in USA, this time, Maccarthyism is mixed with Zionism. Today in USA you can easily criticise Jesus, all profits, and even God, but if you criticise Israel or Zionism you will subjected to the new Mccarthyism. America is occupied ,Americans need to get free.
If you are not democratic, you cannot teach others to be democratic.
that‘s true , in my opinion , all American politician are compromising the Israel
She should be fired immediately
Lady thinks hate speech is protected under the constitution 😂
I would like all these ladies with the title of doctor to get some hamas on their motorbikes, and ride them in hamas style.
No es antisemitismo . No tuerza las cosas
She didnt resign herself, she got made to go. Stayed on tenure even after that. Nothing will change.
Students have the right to protest what they view as a government that is exterminating civilians with reckless abandon, which appears to many as genocide.
Students have always protested war and to right the wrongs of humanity. It is a time of idealism and it is that idealism that often becomes the moral compass of a nation when they go off track. Speaking about crimes against humanity regardless of what country that is, is our moral duty. Trying to squash the right to free speech and protest on campus is a bad sign for democracy. We aren’t talking about hate speech but the the right to protest war and war crimes. College campuses should have debate. Allowing debate to move forward and calling upon Israel’s government to stop killing civilians is not antisemitism anymore than calling on our own government USA to do better, to respect and honor democracy and humanity globally. We should all set high bars for democracy and live by the principles of a democracy- and that includes respecting all life and giving everyone a voice and a vote. That doesn’t mean hate speech. And protesting government’s bad actions is our duty to protect and ensure our government aligns with human and civil rights and stays true to its democratic principles. Never again means never again!
All university heads who support antisemitism should resign immediately.
Hasn’t time come yet to liberate America from zionists? Don’t you see that they manipulate politics, media, education, everything…using their money and power. Wake up America!!
