Ta proizraelska histerija v zahodnih državah je neverjetna. Vsakršna kritika ravnanja Izraela ali eksplicitne omembe izraelskega masakra v Gazi je cenzurirana. Vsi medijski zapisi o zločinskem ravnanju Izraela nad palestinskim civilnim prebivalstvom so moderirani in naslovi člankov nevtralizirani do mere, da izraelske krivde ni mogoče prepoznati. Tisoči otroci umirajo v bombnih napadih napadih z neidentificiranim storilcem, stotine otrok umre s strelom v glavo s strani neidentificiranega storilca. Vse šole, bolnišnice, mošeje … so razstreljene brez identificiranega storilca. Stotine humanitarnih delavcev in novinarjev je bilo ubitih med opravljanjem službe s strani neidentificiranega storilca. Nikjer v naslovu se ne pojavi, da je šlo za izraelsko bombo ali izraelsko kroglo. Vsak javni protest v zahodnih državah proti neuhumanu ravnanju Izraela in njegovemu kršenju mednarodnega humanitarnega prava, je prepovedan. Palestinske rute so prepovedane na javnih mestih. Na “strateške” politične dogodke tipa Blejski forum brez kančka sramu kot govorce vabijo nekdanje izraelske politike in agente, ki so bili odgovorni za prejšnji masaker nad Palestinci iz leta 2008.

Po represivnmem utišanju protestov na ameriških kampusih se je represija zdaj preselila na evropske univerze. Spodaj je primer francoske ministrice za izobraževanje, ki je zahtevala sankcije proti profesorju na univerzi, ki je študentom navajal dejstva glede izraelskega ravnanja v Gazi. Dve uri po ministričinem tvitu je univerza profesorja suspendirala.

Čemu ta proizraelska histerija? Česa za hudiča se tako bojijo? Ali bolje – koga za hudiča se tako bojijo? Ta histerija, ta cenzura in ta represija je hujša kot vsi naši spomini na čase komunizma. Vračamo se v čase orweljanskega totalitarizma.

Sylvie Retailleau is France’s Minister of Education. Here she’s publicly calling for “sanctions” against a university professor for telling his students that a genocide was happening in Gaza and that an article in The Lancet had estimated there were already close to 200,000 deaths.

The teacher also told his students that he was “ashamed” that Israeli athletes were allowed to participate under their flag when Russian athletes weren’t, denouncing the double standards. He also said that the situation didn’t start on the 7th of October, that Israel was already an apartheid state prior to this, and that in any case “absolutely nothing can justify the massacre of a civilian population”. He specifically clarified that he wasn’t looking for scapegoats and that “no-one in France was responsible”, but he invited his students to not “bury their head in the sand” and make their disapproval of the situation heard peacefully, including by boycotting some Israeli products.

Sylvie Retailleau called the teacher’s statement “unacceptable” and wrote: “I have requested that appropriate sanctions be taken. The role of higher education is to build a better society. To fight against antisemitism and all forms of discrimination. To combat fake news and repugnant generalizations. To protect every student. To act against hatred and support all of its victims.”

Worse yet, she wrote this by retweeting an infamous French Hasbara account – SwordOfSalomon – whose specialty is to doxx people who make statements against what’s happening in Gaza, calling them antisemites.

Anyone with an ounce of intellectual honesty can obviously see that there is nothing antisemitic in what the professor says, he’s simply a teacher moved by the ongoing war crimes in Gaza, encourages his students to engage peacefully for it to stop. Everything he says is absolutely factual, the Lancet article that he refers to can be found here.

Unfortunately – it goes fast – a mere 2 hours after the Minister’s tweet, the professor’s university – The Toulouse School of Economics – announced that the professor was suspended.

That’s the new dystopian world we’re in, where professors who tell their students the killing of civilians should be condemned, all based on factual information from reputable sources, are accused of spreading hatred and promptly suspended… All in the name of, to quote the Minister, “building a better society”.

Purely Orwellian.
