[Peace-discuss] News Gazette: Lifting AAUP Censure after Lynching Salaita?

[Boyle, Francis A]

Yes, especially at the University of Illiniwaks where they have always done damage control and damage limitation for Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians since at least when I began teaching here in August 1978.

We live in a world of insanity, where “he said, she said” is of the utmost importance, while the slaughter of innocents is of little importance. In the early 70’s people were horrified by General Westmoreland when he was heard to say, in the film “Hearts and Minds,” “life is cheap in Asia,” in respect to USG atrocities in Vietnam.

Now, merely expressing outrage over such killings is seen as a crime. The crimes are white washed away.

From the N-G article:

"The AAUP placed the UI administration on its censure list in June 2015 for revoking Salaita’s job offer after he posted a litany of controversial, and sometimes profane, tweets about Israel during its bombing of Gaza."

As if the tweets were controversial, and the bombing was not.

This campus is still extremely  hostile against Palestinians/Arabs/Muslims of Color. I have seen no evidence of improvement since all the anti-Palestinian Bigots and Racists on this campus and in this community lynched Steve Salaita. Fab.
