Israel Is So Powerful That Israel Can Determine Who Is Permitted to Graduate from MIT

Israel also determines who is allowed tenure in US universities. Remember the case of Steven Salaita. Salaita, a tenured professor at Virginia Tech, was hired away by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Salaita resigned from Virginia Tech and moved to Illinois. The Israel Lobby objected, and apparently on Israel’s orders, the University of Illinois chancellor cancelled the appointment of Salaita, who, last I heard, was employed driving a school bus.
The is also the case of Norman Finkelstein. Israel was able to reach inside a US Catholic University and rescind Finkelstein’s tenure. The Israel Lobby’s power has prevented Finkelstein, an acknowledged scholar, from obtaining another university appointment.
Israel’s power over what Americans are permitted to say has grown under the Trump regime, American students who dare to criticize Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people are expelled from their universities, and foreign students who object to Israel’s genocide are branded “terrorists” and deported.
What more evidence do you need that America is the punk two-bit puppet of Israel?
