This guy is a vile antisemitic bigot. So of course, he’s still a professor and hasn’t been “cancelled.” As always, bigots and the ignorant will just (falsely) claim that people like me despise him because we won’t tolerate any critique of Israel. That’s their standard line: and it’s a lie. It’s also their primary excuse to justify, and then get away with, obvious bigotry. The hypocrisy of constantly whining about racism while totally ignoring antisemitism when it isn’t politically beneficial, is the most blatantly obvious and massive hypocrisy of the era.

They get away with it because millions of ignorant people believe the portrayals. They are just as ridiculous as any other racist/bigoted ethnic stereotypes.

Bob Dylan’s ‘Neighborhood Bully’ Gets Memory-Holed

Me, I romp and stomp/Thankful as I romp/Without freedom of speech/I might be in the swamp

I as at sure of this should go in “Music,” “Social Media,” or in this Topic. “Neighborhood Bully” is one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs and I loved it when it came out when I was in high school. It is one of the few examples of anJewish musician bravely, and proudly, announcing his love for Israel. More than gang, he was telling the truth about the world’s attitude toward Israel. Now pride in Israel, and honesty about it, is labeled “hate speech.” Which is exactly why used to play it when I (occasionally) DJ I play it. I live that it would offend the Israel haters. If it offended people-that made me live it even more.


And of course YouTube, a major advocate, and culprit, for censorship is only to happy to push the far left’s antisemitic attitude toward the Jewish state. That kind of censor his only one of the reasons why we started Moptu. That kind of censorship will never happen here.
