Harry Pettit 19 nov. 2025 I want to thank Lize, at the very least for actually quoting me properly, it makes a nice change. I have explained and defended these statements multiple times (Hamas started the downfall of Zionism on Oct. 7th – that is what needs finishing off; I defended a school teache & actual university students at the UvA who were under attack from the same awful actors pursuing me (de Telegraaf, BBB etc.) just because they expressed positive emotions about Charlie Kirk dying; and I called the killing of two British Jews a product of inevitable anger after people have watched the most gruesome violence become normalised by ‘israel’ and its western backers in the name of Jews – that is not a justification, that is an explanation. People warned for months that Jews were being put in danger by Zionist crimes. The truth is my dean never actually approached me with any of these particular posts, [...] so there was zero process [...] from CIDI (who Milos represents), from the ruling BBB, from the NCAB, from de Telegraaf. The truth is that these forces could not abide an academic robustly standing for Palestinian liberation, and they needed to set an example of what happens to people when they do that. Radboud University has helped them. You all as a university community should demand to see the communications between Radboud and these external bodies. Because, make no mistake, it will happen again, any academic or student who stands up to Zionism becomes a target.

'Ondanks alles moet Harry Pettit kunnen zeggen wat hij heeft gezegd' - Vox magazine OPINIE- Harry Pettit moest zijn taal matigen. Volgens Lize Glas, universitair hoofddocent internationaal en Europees recht, beperkte de universiteit daarmee zijn recht op vrije meningsuiting. 'Het kan ervoor zorgen dat andere medewerkers zich tweemaal bedenken voordat zij zich uitlaten.'

"Volgens Pettit begon het allemaal bij een tweet waarin hij “fuck Israël” schreef, die volgens de universiteit over de schreef was."

‘Ik moest uitleggen waarom ik de gedragscode niét zou hebben overtreden. Dat is absurd.'

screenshot: Harry Pettit schreef op 12 nov.2025: There are so many false accusations and smears to respond to here (about me inciting hate or violence, student complaints, not attending classes), but it is not surprising from a university that forced an academic to leave after 10 months of Zionist lobbying from CIDI, politicians and the genocide-supporting media, and is now desperately trying to recover its reputation. I am actually glad that the dean and chair have made the process which led to me leaving so clear. While they describe themselves as a ‘sanctuary for free thinkers’, what they actually describe is that one or two people at the university get to decide what is acceptable and unacceptable to say and think. They explicitly say that we are not allowed to have other opinions about Oct. 7th (and other acts of violence – remember I was told academics must condemn all violence). We must stick to the Zionist lies about that day, which have subsequently justified a genocide. I will never apologise for promoting a different narrative about a day that will rightly be celebrated by Palestinians as the start of the downfall of Zionism. People who praise ‘israel’s’ demonic violence in Gaza (an actual genocide), or Lebanon, have faced no repercussions whatsoever (they actually got invited on to campus to speak to students). Supporting genocide is acceptable if it’s carried out by ‘israel’, supporting a legitimate act of resistance carried out by occupied Palestinians is not.

De verklaring die je wist dat zou komen.

‘We hebben ons laten leiden door onze gedragscode en ons eigen morele kompas, we hebben geprobeerd om daaruit te komen. Dat is helaas niet gelukt."

Harry Pettit schreef op 12 november 2025 om 10:42 I appreciate a lot the support expressed in this article by colleagues. I agree that what has happened here is a dark day for universities, and it is no surprise that it comes when someone dares to criticize Israel. Although I am leaving, I care about others at the university, and I hope that more colleagues and students will realise that this growing repression exercised by (unelected) university managers will only get worse and must be fought head on. That is why I decided to go public with this. Just a couple of additions: the social media code is an advisory code and cannot be used to discipline people. The code of conduct is so subjective, with things like ‘being a good role model’ or ‘respecting others’ left to the interpretation by one or two people at the top. That cannot be right. Finally, please please tell me when Milos became a spokesperson for students? Who does he represent? What is his relationship with CIDI? He is not Jewish himself, so how many Jewish students does he actually speak for? For one student (who is also a politician) to wield so much power must be questioned.

En de reactie op het artikel in VOX door Harry Pettit: Hij schrijft wat ik de hele tijd al denk. Who the fuck is Milos Boksan anyway?

Bah.
"De Radboud Universiteit wil inhoudelijk niet ingaan op vragen van Vox over het vertrek. In een algemeen statement schrijft een woordvoerder het volgende. “Na een intensief traject van maanden hebben de heer Pettit en de Radboud universiteit afgesproken uit elkaar te gaan. De Radboud […]
