The Dersh said on tv last night he had taught at Harvard fifty years, but was no longer welcome on campus.

Let the student newspapers, many of which are rabidly anti-Israel, publish the names of all students and faculty members who belong to groups that support and oppose Hamas. Hypothetically, if a club were formed at any of these universities that advocated rape or the lynching of African Americans, the newspapers would most assuredly publish the names of everyone associated with such a despicable group. Why is this different? Rape has become a weapon of war for Hamas, along with lynching, mutilation, mass murder and kidnapping. Expressing support for these acts, while constitutionally protected, is wrong. The answer to wrong speech isn't censorship; it is right speech, and transparency.

So let the names be published. Let the despicable students and faculty members who support Hamas stand up and defend their indefensible views, and let the marketplace of ideas decide who is right and who is wrong.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you cancel culture is only a trait of the woke.

Only is pretty strong.

Maybe 92% is closer.

In the social sciences, moderate correlations are the best one can ever hope for.

Pro-Hamas group at George Washington University are now wearing masks to protect their identity.

[Renauda]

As if Burqas and Niqabs are going to let them blend in.

Yeah, get your point, but the scope is rather important. On one side, you have screaming Mimis doxxing people and calling their workplaces to threaten their employers because they suggest they don’t want their daughters sharing locker rooms with women with erect penises… On the other side you have lawyers and financial service guys saying that they won’t hire people that are applauding, cheering, and supporting the rape and murders of young girls, the beheading of infants, and the absolutely batshit crazy stuff that went down last weekend.

Being proud to take a stance is a quality to be admired.

As long as your stance doesn't interfere with future employment, of course. I mean, you can only take commitment so far, right?

Both sides are equal, except when the right is worse.

And another thing...Dershowitz did not call for these students to be banned from employment anywhere. He did not call for their expulsion from Harvard.

And he made it a point to state unequivocally the students have a right to free speech.

But...He wanted the students to defend their position in the public square.

Things could change but anti-semitism isn't even in the same ballpark as choosing a poor-taste Halloween costume that one time in the 80s. And I currently don't see evidence of Dersh ginning up a mob of petition-writers to try to get the kids expelled. Nor do I see him publicizing their home addresses. Nor do I see him describing their faces as "punchable." Nor do I see women making shit up about sexual assault allegations regarding these students because they're publicly on the wrong side of a conservative mob. Nor do I see the Daily Wire reporting on those made-up stories as if they were factual.

@Jolly @Aqua-Letifer I think @jon-nyc was referring to the investment banker that said he wouldn’t hire and the lawyer that rescinded a job offer.

So apparently that's the same as woke cancel culture?

It's a non-zero amount of cancel culture, thus allowing for both sides are equalizing in perpetuity.

Not at all, as I pointed out yesterday that there is a world of difference between trying to get parents fired from their jobs for disagreeing over gender identity identity politics and refusing to hire somebody because they celebrated these barbaric acts.

I just want to make sure everybody is bitching about the same thing…

[Jolly]

Oh, I think everyone who's not playing Philadelphia lawyer recognizes the difference.

Your choice of the Halloween costume is a better reference than my school locker room reference.

“Both sides are equal” seems to be one of your favorite strawmen.
