I am a bit gun shy, I called Hamas Nazis and now I am considered (the power of gossip in a closed eco-system when there are no contraints and I am not allowed to defend myself) a violent racist because of that comment. Sometimes it seems like you become a racist if you mention race.
Sadly, you are the innocent victim of a backash against Jews for defending their homeland. It is a terrible time for Israelis and a difficult time for those of us living in the Diaspora. We have appreciated your courage to take a stand against Hamas. It is all too rare in the world we now live in.
Thank you. I'm not apologizing to them. They want do to nothing to a man who hates Israel and wants it exterminated, they are his friend. The minute I said I stood with Israel they went ballistic and could not contain their rage. https://suno.com/song/9e2d7482-fc07-4aa1-9b78-d49ea6f81a18
Nothing offensive in this post. Nice post. Maybe change your substack to "Freedom to be Nice." Nothing wrong with being nice, or kind. We need more of it in this world.
Thanks, you know that if you bring up race many simply want to see racism no matter what, so I was a bit paranoid, even though it wasn't in my heart. Thanks for your feedback.
"Your essay profoundly and compassionately brings to light the immense challenges and resilience of international students in Canada. It paints a vivid picture of their courage, determination, and the heartfelt journey they undertake, far from home. Your words beautifully advocate for empathy, understanding, and support for these brave individuals who strive for a better future."
Well written Professor. While I was reading this thread, my eyes were blurred with tears but at the same time there was a moment of gratefulness to have such a kind and generous man as my Professor , who is willing to listen and understand the viewpoint of his students and willing to talk freely about it.
I certainly did not see racism, but empathy. Their struggles are huge and sad, and they are lucky to have you on their side. I hope that happens soon.
