Jewish USC professor barred from campus after criticizing Hamas

University of Southern California forces Economics Professor John Strauss from teaching on campus after activists misrepresent his comments
 
  Nov 22, 2023, 3:52 PM (GMT+2)
 
The University of Southern California has banned a Jewish professor with tenure from teaching on campus for the rest of the semester for criticizing the Hamas terrorist organization.

Economics Professor John Strauss confronted anti-Israel demonstrators during a “Shut it Down for Palestine” protest on the USC campus on November 9.

The demonstrators accused Strauss of stepping on a list of people killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza and yelled "shame on you, Professor Strauss, shame on you."


The professor responded: “No, shame on you. You people are ignorant. Really ignorant. Hamas are murderers. That’s all they are. Every one should be killed, and I hope they all are.”

A clip cutting the first part of Strauss' comment in which he specified he was talking about Hamas was posted on social media, making it appear that he was calling for all Palestinian Arabs in Gaza to be killed.

My advice to Mr. Strauss would be:
You don't want to keep teaching there, anyway. Find a conservative school that may better appreciate your services...

I just can't feel sorry for that SOB.

He HAD to have known that terrorists would be welcome there,he probably just didn't think it  would be terrorists who were threatening Israel or Jews.

EVERYBODY is open-minded,until it is THEM that "THEY" are coming after.

Most teenagers understand this basic concept,so why wouldn't a college professor know it?

@Fishrrman

He is NOT a conservative by  any  stretch  of the imagination or he wouldn't have been teaching at USC.

@Fishrrman Odds are he was/is just as liberal as those that threw him under the bus except on this matter.

There is NOTHING even the tiniest bit "liberal" about these Communist SOB's!

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-
