Censorship, US universities
Harvard's school of political science invited the former head of Human
Rights Watch to visit as a fellow. Then
the dean cancelled the invitation
because he has criticized Israel for human rights violations.
Those human rights violations already amounted to apartheid, but Israel's
new government, which includes right-wing extremists, is planning to make
things much worse. Honest defenders of human rights will have to criticize
Israel more than ever. Rich supporters of Israel will surely increase
the censorship pressure in US universities.
Don't assume that those supporters are Jews. Some of them are
fanatical Christians who are determined to bring about events that
would
fulfill certain prophecies related to Christian myths of
doomsday.
