Hat tip Campus Reform
A Portland State University professor has been placed on administrative leave by the university after a video surfaced from an off-campus event in which she told an interviewer: "I am Hamas. We are all Hamas."
The video has been reported by the Willamette Week, and, in turn, by Campus Reform.
The president of the university, Ann Cudd, has issued a statement condemning the statement. She did not name the professor.
However, The Oregonian is reporting that the professor in question is Yasmeen Hanoosh, who teaches Arabic at PSU. The event reportedly occurred on June 2 at the Beaverton School District in a demonstration organized by the Democratic Socialists of America.
Someone needs to inform this learned professor that the US Government has long designated Hamas as a terror organization. She should also remember that Hamas not only committed unspeakable acts of slaughter and kidnapping against Israeli civilians on October 7, 2023, but their victims included several American citizens as well.
Just another example of what has taken over academia in the US-the very people who are teaching our children. Personally, I don't want Hamas having anything to do with the education of my children.
She has the right of free speech, but the university needs to realize that this incident has brought shame and dishonor to PSU. I hope they act accordingly.
