tidbit: "worse than McCarthyism"... I told yall so...

I'M SUCH A GENIUS... I remember posting here that the crack down on pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, and the stifling of speech criticizing Israel, was worse than what happened during the McCarthy era.
Well, an expert on fascism & the McCarthy era, scholar Ellen Schrecker, has written a piece for The Nation and is headlined "Worse Than McCarthyism: Universities in the Age of Trump".
Read it and weep!
Prof. Schrecker was interviewed by Amy Goodman on democracy Now this morning. I was just listening to her.
Ta-Nehisi Coates must be feeling justified...many ending silence
TA-NEHISI COATES IS EMERGING AS A TRUE LITERARY PRO-PALESTINE HERO..
He was the first popular, mainstream-accepted intellectual - black or white - to publicly come out in support of the Palestinian cause, and took some heat from Zionist forces, especially those at CBS News. Now low-and-behold, all kinds of high-profile literary figures, entertainers etc., are no longer afraid to condemn Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza. A group of over 300 prominent UK writers, actors, scholars, and other cultural figures signed a letter calling for an immediate ceasefire, and going so far to use the word "genocide" in their protest letter. Ouch!
For those of us supporting the Palestinian cause this is a hopeful & encouraging moment in the struggle. FREE PALESTINE!
Re: Ta-Nehisi Coates must be feeling justified...many ending silence
The sad truth is, if you don't have an army you're fuucked,...you can protest as much as you want, write books, be pro this or pro that, you can read the Bible or Koran all day, it wouldn't matter, nothing will change the mind of Kris SOB,...for instance in Tasmania in 1830s during the what they called the "Black war" there were White British Christians or missionaries on the island who fiercely opposed that war, but hey, to no avail, these good white folks did what they could to help the Black Tasmanians, but to no avail coz the "powerful" ones(Whites) in terms of advanced weapons chose to continue their violent conflict on the Aboriginal Tasmanians in Tasmania(despite the fact the natives were losing the war) until the near-extermination of the Black native population. The conflict was fought largely as a guerrilla war by both sides; some 600 to 900 Aboriginal people and more than 200 British colonists died in the 1830s in Tasmania.
LOL, hahaha, if you go today to Tasmania the only Black ppl you will see/spot are the newly arrived African immigrants. The native Black Tasmanians are GONE!!!

tidbit: surveilance on Universities and free speech...
tg-- University of Michigan using undercover investigators to surveil student Gaza protestors." [6.5; the guardian]
How shocking😲😯!! But then, Black Panthers & other Civil Rights groups were subjected to that nonsense. But on college campuses? And note: this isn't FBI surveilance, THIS IS THE UNIVERSITY HIRING PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS TO SPY ON STUDENT PROTESTORS😲😮.
"Free Palestine" hate speech? Congressional bill...hahaha
Some congressmen & the Zionist lobby will introduce a resolution making the slogan FREE PALESTINE "an official antisemitic slogan". They say the slogan is a call for the destruction of the state of Israel and Jewish people..[6.6]
The measure will be introduced in the House of Representatives new week.
😆🤣😂.. I guess 'Free South Africa' was a hate slogan that called for the destruction of South Africa, and hatred against all white South Africans. Unbelievable!
