​@@jagodaszubert2404you casually dismiss the lobbies in your comment but don't show near as much indignation to how these lobbies shape foreign policy, especially in the Middle East. This unwavering support does nothing but put a cross hairs on America. Also your language around Hamas does nothing to raise some serious questions as to the narrative of Oct 7th. Please do some research because what we've been told happened and what actually happened is wildly different. This blanket acceptance of anti semitism claims are nowhere near as prevalent as are been made out, again it's smoke, mirrors and playing the victim. Sadly I don't hear any sort of condemnation to the very real rise of Islamaphobia and physical attacks against Muslims. Something tells me you're not overly concerned with that though.

​@@thedarkness2635islamophobia? Phobias are irrational fears. There is nothing irrational about fearing a religion that invokes terror and incites hatred. I mean what is the phrase uttered by almost all suicide bombers before they kill - Allahu Akhbar!

[@thedarkness2635]

@@drjowjow what a pathetic response. Regardless of what your explanation of what Islamaphobia is, it still exists. And there is still next to no recognition of it and how it is steadily rising. As for religious violence, look no further than the Israeli or Christian armies in Africa that have done far worse than any suicide bomber. No, your condemnation is only for a select faith. I wonder why that is.

"A very small number of gifts fro Qatar" - LOL. Sure, only 5 gifts of $60million each - LOL. Can I tell the FBI that if I receive half a million dollars in kickbacks from the Mafia? Sir, I only received a small number of gifts - just two in fact (although $250,000 each). Hey ! That's ok right?

The integrity of our higher education is of the UTMOST importance. This needs to have severe consequences.

This is the biggest challenge, as long as you receive funding ,you would be obliged to play their tune

What an embarrassment of leadership in these universities

[@zanzoflamengo]

Qatar alumnis donate US$ 300M in exchange for nothing? Make me lagh!

I think they should bring in more of these college presidents as I'm sure they think alone the same line....

Accepting money from a terrorist supporting country, should be a minimum of 10 years in prison.

Well I think a lot of universities have been built with slavery’s money!
