Watch now (47 mins) | Dr. Helyeh Doutaghi tells Drop Site: "This is about making sure that no one dares to challenge the narratives in corporate media and Western academia."
Thank you for this extremely important interview. As a retired academic, I find the behavior of some our supposedly great universities absolutely appalling! However their behavior is consistent with my experience which indicates that in many of these institutions there is an enormous disconnect between the faculty and the administration. In my view, many university administrations regard their university primarily as a business, not as a place where higher education and scholarship should be the top priority.
DAWN has urged the ICC prosecutor to investigate and prosecute former President Biden, State Secretary Blinken and Defense Secretary Austin for their personal roles in aiding and abetting Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza as part of his ongoing investigation into the situations in Palestine since 2014.
'no concern with his ability to conduct a fair interview.' ?? "Fair" meaning of course, fair to Yale and its funding, that is all that matters. The masses must keep their head down and lick the boots.
Ceasefire or no ceasefire; scam or no, we cannot allow Israel to escape the legal consequences of their war crimes. The Hind Rajab Foundation has, among other things, filed a case with the ICC against 1,000 Israeli soldiers for war crimes in Gaza.
They have taken further steps in recent days, and vacations are becoming a lot more difficult for IDF soldiers, worldwide. The Hind Rajab Foundation can use our help. Please join me in making a contribution.
You might find meaningful to watch the recent interviews that Glenn Greenwald did on his Rumble platform, and Ali Abunimah of the Electronic Intifada, did with the head of this organisation, Dyad Abou Jahjah. It was very informative.
Here's a petition calling for accountability for the arrest of Ali Abunimah in Switzerland:
Please continue to provide information on both Doutaghi and Khalil. How can a foremost university such as Yale accept an accusation GENERATED BY AI and put the person accused on leave as if they were guilty of something without any sort of an investigation? I say universities should stand up to the US government and let them withhold money from them, let the government bankrupt universities. If that happens all the stature our universities have gained will erode and no one will want to attend them, including people from all over the world, they'll go to the old British stalwarts, perhaps a few German ones as well.
What an absolutely laughable place American academic institution have turned into, thanks to forces of neoliberalism, fascism, imperialism, and Zionism. I always shame my fellow Americans when they spew nonsense about CRT, Affirmative Action, Palestinians, cheering forever wars, by pointing out they live in a country with some of the best universities in the world, and their ignorance has no excuses.
Now I understand why Americans can't seem to think beyond jingoist, genocidal social Darwinism informed by idiotic, racist, simplistic worldviews: the very foundations of our society, our topnotch universities, have no interest in our liberation from those in power.
Professor Doutaghi, thank you for your fortitude, and for exemplifying the strength, compassion, integrity and intelligence found in Muslim women.
If these reports are correct that Congress asked for student records, the school classes need to sue, and cite the Trump pardons of J6ers as a first Amendment right to destroy property.
Establishment, power structure, will just gradually (perhaps rapidly?) incorporate the loss of free speech (along with many more assumed freedoms, subsequently) into the very definition of "freedom" or "democracy", and most of our population will be just fine with that, accept it and believe, buy into, it... because... the alternative (protest and participation) will be viewed in their minds as taking FAR too much effort compared to what they've been doing their entire lives, which is... "cheerleading" for one of the two manufactured corporate teams.
Dr. Helyeh Doutaghi is a brave woman with integrity and intellect who has used her voice to speak up against the Israeli-American genocide of Palestinians. No surprise she is being targeted in this way. Thank you Jeremy and Drop Site for this excellent interview.
The extent of repression regarding students, and, in fact everyone standing up for Palestine is growing every day. We must stand up against this because the other side is not going away.
Thank You Drop Site News! Bring us more on this!
Two wonderful young people from afar are standing up for All Americans! They deserve our gratitude and thanks and ALL the HELP we can give them.
Both Columbia and Yale are am American Disappointment in my opinion
First they come for them. Then they come for you.

It's time we banned the banners, making ourselves complicit in the process.
