"Israel is not interested in alleviating the humanitarian catastrophe that it has deliberately and meticulously created"
Israel's "aid" comes with added evil

Wow. University and its president support DEI. Trump admin investigates them. Faculty write a resolution in support of the president and DEI policies. Trump admin investigates those faculty too.
nytimes.com/2025/07/28/us/just…
"In a letter sent on Friday, the Trump administration said it would seek drafts of the faculty resolution, all written communications among the Faculty Senate members who drafted the resolution, and all communications between those faculty members and the office of the university’s president…Free speech advocates quickly denounced the move as an attack on academic freedom."
