Professor sues Texas university that terminated contract after Palestine talk Idris Robinson says Texas State violated his constitutional rights over off-campus talk seized on by pro-Israel activists

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026.... Read the details. Professor gave a talk two years ago in another state. He never got to finish it. Now he’s being fired because of it. #PalestineException

Since October 2023, the U.S. has run a " #PalestineException" to free speech.

While state-level incitement remains live and monetized, witness-bearing for Gaza is met with total digital erasure. This isn't "moderation"; it's a political blockade on the Truth.

Genuine Q:

why should #Hamas (a democratically elected party with a miltary wing, Al-Qassam Brigades) disarm, regardless of the #IllegalOccupation (which it has a legal right to resist under #InternationalLaw)?

Other countries have armies & miltaries. Why shouldn't #Palestine?

Canada, Australia join UK in recognising Palestinian statehood Recognition of Palestine from Canada, Australia comes in coordination with UK, ahead of UN General Assembly meeting.

Why is a condition for recognising #Palestine "to demilitarise the Palestinian State"?

Will #Israel & every other State with an army also be demilitarised as a condition of their statehood?

Or does the #PalestineException live on in all this fake 'recognition'?

Columbia punished our kids for protesting against the genocide in Gaza. We condemn the university’s cowardice We are the parents of students who faced disciplinary actions for pro-Palestine activism. The struggle for liberation will not end with suspensions and expulsions

Most Western universities make a big exception when it comes to dismantling colonial thinking: Universities should reject all settler-colonialism, including Israel's & its enablers'

Very telling insight into the #PalestineException as it plays out amongst non-academic folks: people I talk to in non-work life know what #Israel is doing is wrong & that #BBC is complicit but can't say why 🍉

Opinion | Universities Should Not be Afraid of Contentious Ideas (Gift Article) Higher education cannot cede the space of public discourse and the free exchange of ideas.

#Cornell president Michael Kotlikoff, author of this piece, is full of shit.

Last Fall, Cornell targeted a Black Muslim international student for simply being present at a protest, an act of repression Kotlikoff was fully behind.

Trump Wants Immigrants on U.S. Soil to Hand Over Social Media Accounts to Apply for Citizenship Last time Trump demanded social media handles for citizenship, green card, and visa applicants, it was only for immigrants outside the U.S.

Trump Wants Immigrants on U.S. Soil to Hand Over Social Media Accounts to Apply for Citizenship

Sounds like the Trump Administration wants to expand the current #PalestineException to free speech through an immigrant exception to free speech on the way to an everyone exception to free speech!

Columbia University’s Secret Disciplinary Process for Students Critical of Israel As Trump threatens sweeping action against “illegal protest” on college campuses, Columbia is already using secret processes to punish pro-Palestine students
