Expect to see the pro-Isreali lobby out there. They’re foaming at the mouth, complaining the university is being anti Semitic by presenting a viewpoint they don’t like.
The state of Isreal was born of terrorism and the speaker posits it still practices it, against non Jews. This opinion doesn’t sit well with the Flea Party et al.
Dean Samian is in for another battle. Perhaps now she can actively support students fighting the decline of the university. At a forum last year she averred she couldn’t because of previous fights with off campus pressure groups wanting her fired.
