Should the universities and their faculty be held accountable for the violence?

So the universities provided the means of supporting these students and enabling their opinions, and they should be held responsible if it escalates to violence is your stance, correct?

I fully agree

Let’s take this further though. Benjamin Netanyahu and the controlling Likud party in Israel propped up Hamas and gave them the means to retain power. He mistakenly thought he could “control the height of the flame” and contain them, but obviously that failed.

By this reasoning, is it not Netanyahu and his political allies who bear the responsibility for the events of October 7th?

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces

Universities and the administrative/support staff that allows it, yes absolutely.

The faculty, not so much. Are there liberal arts professors beating the drums and fanning the flames of the rhetoric, sure, but there are a whole lot more of us just trying to teach science/math/engineering without letting politics enter in to it. We can only do what the administration allows.

If faculty joins the protests, as is their right, and things go sideways, they’re on their own and have to deal with the ramifications as anyone participating would.

Surprisingly we only have one pro Hamas down voter, so far....

Yes

Yes. Some universities are supporting the antisemitic assholes.

Universities can and do shut down nonwoke speech almost as soon as it happens. But they allow this antisemitic shite to prosper. If they were willing, all this shite happening now would cease..
