So Brian.
Permitting the world’s news agencies to send journalists into Gaza to report on what they witness there independently of Israel or Hamas.
A good idea?
Did they stop the BBC from reporting there? Why did the BBC decide to leave?

Israel purports to be a democracy that upholds the principles of democracy, of which freedom of the press is one principle.I hate to see Israel being accused of suppressing freedom of the press.
I think Israel could completely destroy such allegations by permitting the world’s news outlets to send journalists into Gaza and r er port on what they witness, independent of Israel or Hamas.
I’m at a loss why this offends you so.
What offends me?
Like I said in my first post:

Egypt accused Al Jazeera of being a mouthpiece for the Islamist group, banning the broadcaster and arresting a number of its journalists. In 2017, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain launched a boycott of Qatar over charges it supported terrorism, an accusation Qatar denied
Israel has every right to ban Al Jazeera from its own country. Just as the EU banned RT News

Brian,
if you accuse me of being dishonest (presumably your belief) then certainly I have an interest in responding to that ‘belief of yours’ that you have expressed here in this thread.
Yes, when someone edits a post after its already been replied to its dishonest

So you quote someone within a minute of the post made and expect an obvious mistake to not be corrected.
I call that dishonest.

Israel can demonstrate their commitment to press freedom by permitting journalists from the world’s news organizations to e there Gaza and report openly on what they witness while there.
This topic is about Israel banning Al Jazeera from Israel, not Gaza or West Bank

I simply made a correction to my post while you were on rapid fire.
Feel free to have a go at the corrected post, you’ll find it above.
Nah, dishonest

Actually you edited once I had already replied, very dishonest

That Israel makes such donations is not a surprise.
That you believe organizations funded by Israel isn’t a surprise either.
More of an expectation.
I'm sure you have a point to make somewhere but thats nothing to do with my post

You posted earlier link from Daily Mail which you claimed that daily mail was providing evidence which was incorrect as the Daily Mail actually stated in the headline
The 73-page report by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy points out explicit pro-Hamas statements, chants and signs by protestors
Lets not forget ISGAP Funding
This year’s program was given a boost by a US$1.3 million ($1.74 million) grant (over three years) from the government of Israel.

Think tank failed to disclose six-figure grant from Israeli government

Yes I did post that link, just one of others I posted, hence why I said "there's a mountain of evidence without any input from ISGAP"
Besides which I would be very surprised if Israel did not donate some money to a anti-semitism NGO

Now a barrage of rockets and mortar shells on KEREM SHALOM from Rafah. 10 people wounded, one in grave condition. Remember Kerem shalom? From which most humanitarian aid to Gaza enters? Will we hear condemnations from the Intl community on this or will we only hear when/if it affects the flow of humanitarian aid?

Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy
In 2023, ISGAP published a report claiming that Texas A&M’s Qatar campus was being used by the Qatari government for nuclear research.
However, Welsh stated that the campus is not involved in any nuclear research and that ISGAP’s claims were “false and irresponsible”. ISGAP’s credibility was questioned and it was also accused of falsely targeting the faculty members named in its report.[7] In 2018, ISGAP was also alleged of being paid $445,000 by Israel, which was nearly 80% of its revenue that year.[8]

An antisemitism watchdog group’s allegation that a Texas A&M partnership with Qatar could make weapons technology available to U.S. adversaries is false, the university president said.

ISGAP is behind latest DM funding of university claims
Yet there's a mountain of evidence without any input from ISGAP. You obviously failed to read the links provided
(National Students for Justice in Palestine)
Besides NSJP, some Columbia students also engaged with Samidoun, a Vancouver-based “Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network” which both Israel and Germany have banned over links to terrorism. Several of the group’s activists spoke at “Resistance 101,” a training session for pro-Palestinian Columbia students — some of whom were subsequently suspended — that was held online in March after being twice barred from the campus.

Qatari aid to Hamas was signed off on by Netanyahu.
Is this the bit were you say that was discussed ages ago?
It was paid well before and continues to be paid now. But yes as you know a different topic discussed to death months ago. Nothing to do with Qatar funding US colleges

And a great deal of money is being fed to universities by anti-Israeli sources.
Indeed with Qatar who also funds Hamas being a major one although I'm sure Qatar will deny being anti Israel
Qatar’s ties to US universities scrutinised amid rise in antisemitism
Qatar has emerged as the largest foreign donor to US universities, contributing $5.1bn since 1986
In the wake of October 7, scrutiny of Qatar’s relationship with Hamas and the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood has intensified.
Texas A&M University last month announced that it would close the satellite campus it established in Doha in 2003. The university cited “regional instability” for its decision, but it has also faced unwanted publicity since October 7 about its patron’s ties to Hamas.

“How about this class that was given to students at Columbia its sister college, Barnard, Charlotte Kates.”So not a class given by the University or College and therefore not evidence of the University radicalizing students.
I’m glad we’ve cleared that up.
Did you read the link. It will clear that up for you.

Here’s a challenge for you.
Provide evidence that any of that was organized by the university.
Here's a better challenge, quote me where I claimed they were. As for right wing, I go where the facts are be that there or from left such as Fetterman:

I’ll give you this Brian, you do have
an uncanny knack for seeking out rightwing misinformation peddlers.
Facts hurting you then?
How about this class that was given to students at Columbia its sister college, Barnard, Charlotte Kates.
Radical anti-Israel activists told Columbia students, “There is nothing wrong with being a fighter in Hamas” — weeks before the campus exploded in pro-Palestinian protests.

"Death to Israel"
"Death to America"
I know a couple of leading rogue nations who could be channeling their influence here. From NYPD Chief:
This morning, @nyuniversity & @TheNewSchool requested @nypdnews to clear protesting students on their grounds. “Options” were afforded to the student protesters, with some leaving and 56 choosing arrest. There were no incidents, nor injuries to report. Once again the NYPD was extremely professional in their response! However, as we have been stating for the past 2 weeks, there is an underlying radical indoctrination of some of these students. Vulnerable and young people being influenced by professional agitators. Who is funding and leading this movement? We found numerous disturbing pieces of literature in both encampments but wanted to highlight this most disturbing one, clearly stating:
“Death to America !”
