This article informs a good understanding and confirms the issues I've witnessed in academia. However, I found that it didn't cover the censorship of any criticism of Israel in science and academics. This was explicitly codified into law with respect to government funding and is a major topic of scientific funding in colleges and universities. Scientific grants and researchers often require a Zionist bias to get funding, something that is unacceptable.

You know what is detached from reality? Reading a comment criticizing Zionists, and somehow interpreting it as some long running stereotype about Jewish people, which the comment never mentioned. It's hard to believe that people are still doing this pearl clutching in 2026. Most Zionists are Christians, and a large portion of them, including the US Ambassador to Israel, believe in the Rapture. Connect those dots.


I don't think you're going to win much sympathy when you've demonstrated you can't distinguish between generically "jews" and "Israel."

You can hate the genocidal Israelis and how far the AIPAC/Israel lobby has crawled up the ass of nearly the entire US political apparatus without being a neo-nazi that wants to stomp out the Jewish faith.
