The university and a professor invoke freedom of speech to protect anti-Israel comments, while throwing that principle under the bus when it’s inconvenient.
As Israel prepares to invade Gaza to destroy the terrorist group Hamas, Jerusalem is calling on civilians living in the coastal enclave to seek refuge in Egypt. Cairo, however, has denied entry to Gazans and has taken additional measures to secure the Egypt-Gaza border.
