>on the grounds that UCLA was “failing to promote a research environment free of antisemitism and bias”

This really has very Germany 1930s vibes even if the direction of the anti is flipped.

It is purely Orwellian. They gaslit everyone into thinking that opposing an intolerant theocracy in Israel, and by extension the burgeoning autocracy in the US, was antisemitism, while at the same time moaning about Jews controlling and ruining the US. This naked cynicism is disgusting.

Intolerant theocracy? And you’re using this phrase to refer to Israel?

State sponsor of genocide might be a more apt term, I agree. Intolerant is way too weak of a term.
