We live in an upside-down world where fantasy reigns, facts mean nothing, and where we rant about property damage on university campuses while funding the destruction and destruction of every home, hospital and school in Gaza.
This was mentioned in a collective article by “UCLA Alumni for Palestine” published by the American “Mondoweiss” website. The article highlighted the contradictions in which American university presidents are involved by focusing on the University of California.
The article indicated that university presidents resign for their failure to protect students who peacefully express their opinions, while allowing them to be beaten, commenting that university authorities call for freedom of expression, and prevent it if students demand to “stop genocide” in Palestine.
Ideology is disappearing
He said this constant manipulation and dishonesty is a sign of desperation, a last ditch effort to salvage an indefensible ideology used to justify racial superiority and segregation. As these lies grow more sophisticated, they accelerate the demise of the system they seek to defend.
The article mentioned the violence committed by a “group of Zionists” at the University of California, Los Angeles, on April 30 against the “Palestine Solidarity Camp,” and the violence committed by the police against the camp itself on May 1, besieging the students, intimidating them, and expelling them. By force.
The article criticized the university authorities, who praised the police’s behavior and described it as “patient” and “professional” and did not cause any “serious injuries,” adding that these authorities lie shamelessly as if people did not have access to the Internet and did not watch videos. Countless frenzied agitators beat students with metal bars and wooden planks, spray students’ faces with chemicals and launch explosives and other projectiles into the camp, and as if people had not seen the pictures of students bleeding profusely after their heads were targeted with rubber bullets by brutal police forces. They hear screams of “terror” as students fight for their lives on their campus.
Depends on imagination
The article added that these “Zionists’ lies are shocking because they are “not consistent with the reality that we have all become accustomed to over the past six months,” explaining that Zionism depends entirely on imagination, and its defenders will lie blatantly and shamelessly to support it even in the face of overwhelming evidence.
He went on to say that the best defense for Zionism has always been censorship and intimidation, as the “Zionists” realize that even the slightest opening of a legitimate conversation about the issue would lead to the complete collapse of their arguments.
Surveillance and intimidation
He referred to an incident that he said was the latest example of Zionism’s reliance on censorship and intimidation, namely that Irwin Chemerinsky, dean of Berkeley Law and the most famous legal mind of our time, seemed too afraid to allow a student to speak about Palestine during a school event held at his home, and he chose, and he was stronger. Champions of freedom of expression, shouting in front of a loudspeaker and silencing the student to avoid confronting his words, because he cannot refute them.
The article commented that it is known that Chemerinsky is able to argue convincingly and confidently before the Supreme Court, but he cannot defend his position on Palestine in front of one of his students.
international law
The graduates’ article added that the use of censorship and repression to support Zionism is not limited to university contexts; The Israeli leadership continues to argue that civilians killed in Gaza are unfortunate collateral damage, even after it emerged that Israeli occupation forces are using artificial intelligence to target men in their homes when they are with their wives and children.
He also said that Western leaders declare that Israel has the right to use force “in self-defense,” but in reality international law stipulates that it is the Palestinians who have the right to “self-defense” because they live under illegal military occupation.
The article mentioned a number of Zionist lies, such as the story alleging rape in the Al-Aqsa flood attack, which was promoted by the New York Times, and so on.
