Amid the recent eruption of anti-Israel protests on college campuses that have escalated into anti-Semitism, New York University professor Scott Galloway decries a “double standard” over the impact of hate speech on campus. did.
Galloway spoke with MSNBC host Willie Geist on Tuesday, where pro-Palestinian protesters wearing the familiar black-and-white checkered keffiyeh scarf were shown shouting chants. “If I had walked into the plaza at New York University wearing a white hoodie,” Galloway said. If he said something like “lynch black people” or “burn gays to death,” my ID would be shut down by that night. ”
The Stern School of Business professor added: We don’t need the words “context” or “nuance.” I am not protected by words like “First Amendment” or “free speech.” I would disappear from the academic world. We seem to have a double standard as far as hate speech against Jews. ”
Several instances of anti-Semitism at Columbia University have been captured on video.
Geist readily agreed and asked Galloway, “Why is there that double standard? Because of course you’re right. You don’t even have to say it out loud. , if it’s being said about Latinos, or Americans, Asians and everyone else, shut down the schools. Why is there still such a double standard?”
Galloway has a number of theories, including that Israel has gone from David to Goliath over the past few decades, and that college students mistakenly attributed the civil rights movement of the 1960s to the Israel-Hamas war. There was some confusion.
In addition, students were also encouraged by the orthodoxy that my colleagues and I promote that there are oppressors and oppressed, and that the easiest way to tell the oppressor apart is how white they are and how wealthy they are. Unfortunately, it has gone off the rails because of this. Fairly or unfairly, Israel is seen as… Ground zero of being white and how wealthy they are. ”
Galloway also said young people are being “manipulated” by TikTok, given that the popular Chinese video platform is their “frame of the world”.
“If you look at TikTok, for every video published in Israel, there are 52 pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian videos,” he told Geist. “I think we’re being manipulated. I think it’s easier for Americans to be fooled than to be convinced they’ve been fooled, but if I were the Chinese Communist Party I’d do the exact same thing,” he said on social media. “We are sowing the seeds of division and polarization,” he added.
