Sadly, I am not surprised anymore when academics write such one-sided biased articles. Israel has many critics but not all of them choose to express themselves in hateful ways such as:
"At this point, if Netanyahu appeared on TV with a necklace made from the teeth of Palestinian children, would anybody be surprised?"
or
“You may be too refined to say it, but I’m not: I wish all the fucking West Bank settlers would go missing”
It is his right to say it. He can tweet as much hate as he wishes. But is describing Netanyahu as wearing the teeth of children civil in your eyes? values like freedom of speech, seeking truth and helping the oppressed do not make the form he chooses to express himself acceptable. Especially in academia, where dialog based on logic, facts, and respects needs to be maintained, this kind of talk cannot be accepted, let alone defended.
