In America, you can make fun of the president, talk about Russia or even China. But you cannot criticize Israel. Thats the one thing that will get you fired or black listed.So much for "academic freedom of speech" at Harvard/UPenn, when your Jewish alumni donors can force the PRESIDENT of the university out, that's a huge problem. Imagine Chinese alumnis forcing Ivy league presidents out because of rampant anti-CCP is construed as sinophobia... the US media would say these Chinese alumnis are doing the bidding of foreign gov'ts! The same would never apply to Jewish lobby/Israel.
They have successfully made it so anti-Israeli government = anti-semitism and Jew hatred.
The reality is, you can criticize the gov't, and not hate the entire race. They ironically claim this distinction with CCP and ethnic Han Chinese, but when applied to Israel and Jewish people, that distinction disappears.
You can only criticize America as long as you do not threaten the government. It's just much easier to threaten Israeli power with words than it is to threaten American power with words, so the threshold is lower. But with the waning of overall US power, expect restrictions to become more and more orweillian, not just for critcizing Israel, but for complaining about any aspect of US state.In America, you can make fun of the president, talk about Russia or even China. But you cannot criticize Israel. Thats the one thing that will get you fired or black listed.
So you are saying you can't criticize the real president.In America, you can make fun of the president, talk about Russia or even China. But you cannot criticize Israel. Thats the one thing that will get you fired or black listed.
Then they clearly failed their job considering managers favor Israel in public. Boycott the business openly support Israel is already a thing here.It's not just the donors. Theres an Ivy League premium because a school's name opens doors for their graduates in the corporate job market(and as future business leaders) and a majority of US based corporations are implicitly pro-Israel. There has been some fairly vocal business leaders calling for an embargo on hiring graduates from schools seen as anti-Semitic.
Like it or not, but that's how it works - the Ivy league schools get their reputation for placing their graduates in successful future career paths and it's a reputation they need to protect for self preservation. And as for corporations, they want to hire managers and decision makers who keep quiet about controversial topics, because saying the wrong thing ultimately affects business.
Case in point - the president of the NYU Student Bar Association lost a job offer at a after she issued a statement supporting Palestine immediately after the Hamas attacks on Israel. This was followed by for students that made public statements blaming Israel for the attacks.
Found this rather interesting video. HCNC was specifically name-checked in the article. Note the language on the tool's control screen
