On May 14, Logan Rozos, a student at New York University (NYU), gave a brief but powerful speech during the graduation ceremony of Gallatin, a liberal arts school within NYU. In his remarks (transcribed by World-Outlook from the video of Rozos’ speech, and published in this post), the student condemned the U.S.-backed Israeli war on the Palestinian people in Gaza. NYU immediately announced it is withholding the student’s diploma as it pursues disciplinary actions against him, in the latest flashpoint between free speech principles and punishment for pro-Palestinian advocacy on U.S. college campuses.

      Explain then. What happened before then that gives anyone the right to starve millions of people to death and bomb 10,000’s of children?

      What magical mystical process bequeaths one all power over life and death?

      Is it written in a book somewhere? Perhaps an old one that’s been translated and transcribed a whole bunch over thousands of years so the original meaning is lost to the ages? Sounds EXCITING!
