Megha Vemuri called out MIT for having research ties with the Israeli army and "aiding and abetting" the country with its "assault on the Palestinian people."
No, no I am certainly anti-Israel as well; I now fully believe the country should be gone away with like was done in Africa whenever they won their independence back.
People rarely talk about politics to praise how well everything is going right now. Not being allowed to talk about politics means not being allowed to talk about changing things. If this was the rule everywhere, nothing could ever be changed (democratically).
Would they ban the person if it was a pro Israel speech?
If no, then the school admins can fuck right off

I could 100% respect a university being no politics etc whatsoever in speeches, but 5 bucks says double standard.
“No politics whatsoever” supports the status quo and is therefore political and a double standard.

Do you have any actual counterargument?
They do not, just ad-hominems.
