Abusing institutional power to silence critics of genocide. That’s not a nice look.
A lot of the left always knew that academia and university were inherently political and not “pure truth” or “pure science” as people idealise them to be.
I hope those who would always argue that academia is pretty much perfect are now taking note.

Even Once Reluctant Scholars Now Agree on Israel's Gaza Assault: It's a Genocide | Common Dreams
Julia Conley
May 15, 2025"Melanie O'Brien, president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, told NRC that #Israel's deliberate blockade on "food, water, shelter, and sanitation" convinced her the #Netanyahu government was carrying out a #genocide, while Segal pointed to "openly genocidal statements" by #Israeli leaders.
"But for all it is about the sum of what would apply separately as 'ordinary' war crimes," NRC reported. "The picture as a whole makes it a genocide. That is how the term is meant, says [British professor Martin] Shaw: 'holistic.'""

Das Bild zeigt eine junge Frau in einem blauen, langen Sommerkleid und einem Strohhut, der in einem Lavendelfeld steht. Sie blickt nach rechts, und ihre Hände sind an ihrer Seite. Das Lavendelfeld erstreckt sich bis zum Horizont, wobei die Lavendelblüten in verschiedenen Stadien der Blüte stehen und in einem leuchtenden Violett leuchten. Im Hintergrund ist ein kleines, rotes Haus mit einem grünen Dach zu sehen, das auf einem Hügel steht. Der Himmel ist blau mit weißen, flauschigen Wolken, und im Hintergrund sind sanfte Hügel zu erkennen. Die Szene vermittelt ein Gefühl von Ruhe und Schönheit in der Natur.
