We underestimate the power of cognitive frames, such as "Jew haters" or "Hamas supporters" and so on.

It's time we label all professors, organizations, and Congress members who support Israel's war in Gaza as "genocide supporters" or "anti-American" or "neo-fascist".

There's virtually no pushback against these individuals and groups who subordinate the interests and values of America in favor of supporting Israel's illegal and immoral war

Disgusting. I'm a Jewish-American named after a Holocaust victim and retired professor who is nauseated to read that Jewish professors have turned into Gestapo supporting a holocaust [aka genocide] by Israel by attacking those who oppose it! It is cruel and it is un-American to "do unto others what was done to you and your ancestors." It only perpetuates hate and intolerance that are currently infecting our society.

Sounds worse than McCarthyism.

That’s shocking, those professors ought to be fired and doxxed themselves as they have worked to destroy lives of so many hopeful, hard working students.

Certainly their power, board memberships and institutional capacity must be curtailed.

These people are reprehensible human beings, who, if justice prevailed, would be kicked out of their universities. They are fully aware of the Constitution and that speech and protest are protected. None of these protests in support of Palestine have been found to involve violence, the only violent one I know of is the one in CA where pro-Israeli students physically attacked students supporting Palestine, and where the police simply looked on and did nothing. These people know this, know that they are perpetrating lies, so why do they do it? It must be to protect Israel. But from what ? The US has always been a staunch supporter of Israel. But now people throughout the world are beginning to see what Israel is - an apartheid state, now resolved to finally reach what has always been their goal, to gain all the territory occupied by Palestinians for greater Israel, regardless of the ruthless, merciless, criminal tactics they must employ. And they feel confident that the US will do nothing to interfere with this endeavor, and they seem to be right.

Getting Zionists out of the US media, colleges and government is going to take the Nuremberg trials only much bigger. We have to start with voting them out of power, only then will America be America first not Israel first.

I was born at the height of McCarthyism and here we are once again.

Attended college in DC marching against Vietnam, even lived on Saigon Rd.

Could never imagine we'd have fallen so low.

This is a very helpful initial list of schools where this abuse of deportations or attempted deportations are taking place. I believe such a list should be deepened and advertised to high school graduates and others who might consider the schools. Seems like an economic message-- ie losing students-- might make administrators a little less likely to look the other way with professorial misconduct.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/11/middleeast/jeffrey-epstein-barak-netanyahu-israel-elections-intl/index.html Timely because it makes me wonder what extent these groups are now supporting the Epstein cover-up.

Disgusting, but not surprising. Those pro-Israel professors should be fired toute-suite!

Great reporting. This kind of campus intimidation is happening across the country. Recently the University of California banned student governments and organizations from boycotting Israel. I wrote about it last week.

Lax’s S.A.F.E. is a New York registered non-profit collecting money for DJH, an extremist anti- Muslim organization. Shouldn’t the NY AG Leticia James be looking into this?
