In two weeks, I will have been suspended for seven months. Seven months without a hearing, a rebuttal, or even the theatrical courtesy of a kangaroo court.

My apparent crime? Daring to write, publicly and truthfully, that I stood with Israel, and that Hamas were ideological descendants of the Nazis—which, for those historically illiterate or morally compromised, happens to be accurate. The charge, you ask? Inciting violence. A danger to students. And for that, the human rights claim asserted that I should never again be allowed to teach.

Trying to find the connection? You’ll have better luck deciphering the Voynich manuscript.

Saying “I like chocolate pudding, therefore the lawn must be mowed” has more internal logic.
