Good on Prof John Strauss Speaking the Truth to Power!

So I did read at the link.. and those who made this go Viral Edited and took the Prof's Words out of context and Gaslit.. bc they're Liars..

At least Prof Strauss is on Paid Leave!

And, This!...

Meanwhile, more than 9,000 signed a counter-petition decrying USC’s treatment of Strauss as “unjust,” saying he was the victim of online misinformation, and demanding that the university reinstate him.


Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Los Angeles, called for USC to launch an investigation into Strauss and to take actions to protect “Muslim, Palestinian and Arab students as well as any others who are targeted by hate and bigotry.”


Jonathan Friedman, director of free expression at PEN America, criticized USC for “a shocking overreaction,” adding in a statement, “What USC has done runs counter to the university’s obligation to foster dialogue and debate.”

But as the clip circulated online, it was at times trimmed to a few seconds of Strauss uttering, “Every one should be killed.”

The captions and superimposed text in social media posts could be minimal, misleading or wrong.

TY I hope we hear more on what happens to Prof Strauss.

Canadian sexual assault centre boss sacked after signing letter denying Hamas rape cases

Snip//

The letter, signed by 2,100 people, was authored by Sarah Jama, a member of Ontario's provincial parliament and Susan Kim, a city councillor in Victoria, British Columbia and addressed to all members of Canada's parliament.

It reads: “We, the undersigned, residing in so-called Canada, urge Canadian political leaders to end their complicity in the ongoing massacres and genocide in Gaza, Occupied Palestine.”

The letter took particular issue with NDP leader and Canada's leader of the opposition Jagmeet Singh, who “repeated the unverified accusation that Palestinians were guilty of sexual violence.”
