Yale University associate professor Zareena Grewal is being called out for her dismissal after making contentious comments on social media in which she appeared to defend the activities of Hamas militants and called Israel a “murderous, genocidal settler state.” Grewal is an associate professor of American studies, ethnicity, race, migration, and religious studies. She is also a historical anthropological and documentarian.
Grewal’s social media post expressing sympathy for Palestinians after the latest Hamas attack on Israel sparked a controversy. She tweeted, “Prayers for the Palestinians.” Palestine has every right to oppose Israel as a murderous, genocidal colonial state by armed conflict and unity.”
Grewal then went on to post other tweets that seemed to support the attack’s horrific outcomes. She came under fire for remarks that appeared to draw a distinction between settlers and civilians, saying things like, “Settlers are not civilians.” This is not difficult. “No government on earth is as genocidal as this settler colonial state,” she added, alluding to Israel.
Netanel Cripse, a Yale undergraduate, started a Change.org petition to remove Zareena Grewal from the Yale faculty on the grounds that she encourages violence and falsehoods. More than 28,000 people signed the petition, calling on the institution to take the professor disciplinary action.
Grewal’s X account (formerly Twitter) has been made private, and she has not publicly replied to the criticism. A Yale spokeswoman upheld Grewal’s right to free expression in the face of the uproar, stressing that the remarks on her personal accounts reflect her own opinions.
In a statement, Yale University President Peter Salovey denounced Hamas’ attack on Israel and emphasized the school’s commitment to free speech. The debate draws attention to the continued difficulties colleges confront in striking a balance between the need to protect students from potentially harmful remarks and academic freedom.
Liberal Professor? Is there Any Other Kind? There is a CANCER that has infected Our Country and Our Education System and its NAME is LIBERALISM! It Must Be Cured before it Kills U.S.!
You are using the term “Liberal” incorrectly.
Our Founder Fathers were liberals and so is everybody that believe in democracy and freedom of expression ….which is what this professor exercised.

Oh my, yes well No. I realize a liberal communist isnt happy until they make believe their thinking is correct but yeah No.
Liberal is giving God the little finger and then moving to give Him the whole fist.
You and your ilk have lied and tried to make Hitler a far right when in fact he was so far left he couldn’t deal with truth and facts he had to wipe it out.
The lie about the forefathers and their views on FAITH is almost 100 Degrees out from what you pander.
Dome a favor German I could do this all day along but why?
Is it going to change your mind?
AH NO
is it going to make a difference to those here who probably arent reading this anyway because; Its TOO MUCH INFORMATION FOR THEM and Truth is something that sets people FREE but only when they want to be free of the garbage holding them back.
Your job has always been to try and divide and conquer, but like with Israel; that isnt happening here or to me.
You seem to be trying to use the tactics of ole satan who thought (OPERATIVE WORD HERE): “Thought” he would use the word against Jesus, by first waiting for perhaps a vulnerable moment when HE was weak and hungry. But “Yeah no” that didnt work then either, and why? Because Jesus is the WORD and He wrote the Word. Now I realize you think there’s “maybe a chink in the armor” but “Yeah No” once again there isnt.
Either you are wise enough or smart enough to go learn about that “Holy Spirit you mocked or you arent”
But the Lord knows your heartland I suggest you allow Him along with your permission to invite Him to do surgery on it.
BTW: The Guvmunt has given the BLM, the ANTIFA, the Terrorists access to us and it’s all coming to a head. I leftSoddom & Gomorrah IE: CA because it’s not safe. I was born there and it’s unrecognizable now. Oh the beaches are pretty but Laciviousness, angst, liras and communists flood the streets and are like rabid cockroaches and I lived in southern CA where the life is relatively easy and flows, But its changed and the people have changed and why? because of Liberals. There is nothing liberating about Communism Nothing and wither you call it Marxism, Leninism or Socialism the Isms are Slavery.
Rules For Radicals is your handbook and the Bible is mine. in the end we will see which one wins out and I already know because I read the end of the book ^5
Thanks for participating in this exchange of ideas and running into walls. But I encourage you to do the right thing for the right reasons and not waste what you have left ^5
This is why ALL universities need to be reviewed. They are no longer teaching or being role models but indoctrinating yourh with radical immoral and corrupt ideals!
It’s time for universities to either clean up their acts, start lose funding, or be closed altogether and that includes high end universities. We all see what they are turning out in graduates including these so called professors that are grossly unfit for teaching or having access to students and it’s utter garbage!
A professor is also entitled to her own opinions.
In this case of war between Palestinians and Jews neither side is right.
Jews are entitled to live a peaceful life , free to reach their best potential, and so does Palestinians, but Israel treats Gaza and the West Bank like occupiers limiting their freedom, opportunities, progress or rights.
Israel either needs to live up to the two state solution as they had agreed OR give all Palestinians Israeli citizenship and full rights OR deport or exterminate all Arabs in Palestine as suggested by many Zionists , including Benzion Netanyahu…..yes, the father of the current prime minister.
They are allowed to work in Israel they are or were till just now allowed to govern themselves. You are so far off base about Israel it’s a disgrace but then when people are spiritually dead they just are. Everyones allowed their own opinion but to use it like the Covid Jab and inject it into the minds of your students, yeah no. Thats their “POLITICA VIEW” and sadly speaks to no character and or integrity as a Professor and Funny its always Israel right but who is constantly attacking who?
You are so incredibly wrong. Some been allowed to have some , mostly menial jobs, while forced to go intrusive searches and questions just to get to work. This is not freedom. Just a minority of Arabs have Israeli citizenship,and have a vote, but not the rights to participate in any coalition or govern.
Import/Export legally, just what the Israeli allows. Just the fact that Israel was able to cut all food, electricity and water supply should tell you how much Israel controls the lives of these people.
The professor is not only right, but entitled to express her opinion as long as she does not entice violence…..you know like Trump does or some of the most right wing rabid people in Congress.
Sadly you are incredibly wrong and participate in slander and Gossip against the Jewish people.
They have been allowed to govern themselves and this is what people get who tried to give those who hate their GUTS as Much Freedom as you can give those who hate your guts and plan your demise.
Would you treat and enemy with Grace and mercy? Israel has many times over.
There is no peace because the Arabs dont want these people either – they are pawns and made themselves such by buying into islamic Jihad and it will never end even if – which they wont – but even if they killed every Jew on the earth.
You do not understand the Spiritual war this is. Sadly you do not understand the truth of it either and have been indoctrinated to your views.
When you are a culture that from the moment you are born teaches hate for anyone you are a loser and a demonic participant.
When you pay others which is what Hamas and Hezbalah do – they pay the remaining family members when they teach their kids it’s an Honor to Mryter yourself for the Cause of Hate, not peace. When you cant be happy because you have a spiritual BURR under your saddle that satan just keeps pushing in, you have little chance to ever be happy and want peace because you want revenge. If Israel wanted to they could have wiped them off the face of the earth – which personally they need to do. But if they had no compassion, no understanding, they would have done this years ago for the safety of Israel and her people.
Hezbollah and Hamas is Hate. Israel is Confused because they want peace but some are spiritually dead and some are going to be in that 144,000 who will be used to bring the flock in.
Now if you dont believe it, it’s all good. If you doubt it you wont if you live long enough to see it.
The Arabs rejected their own and the funny part a large number of PALESTINIANS are fighting their own DNA
@germansmith
Who governs Gaza and West Bank?
The Palestinian Authority maintains administrative control, and Israel maintains security control of Area B in the West Bank.
The governance of the Gaza Strip since the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip in June 2007 has been carried out by Hamas, which is often referred to as the Hamas government in Gaza. The Hamas administration was led by Ismail Haniyeh from 2007 to 2014 and again from 2016.
Does Palestine have their own government?
The Palestinian government is the government of the Palestinian Authority or State of Palestine. The Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (EC) is the highest executive body of the Palestine Liberation Organization and acts as the government.
So please do yourself a favor and get the truth and it will set you and others free of the lies.
Who attacks who?
Who lures and kills the other side?
Who has has suicide boomers for years?
The answer: Hezbollah and Hamas have been the Attacjers and Israel Retaliates
Had it been me and they did it to me: Katie bar the door I’d wipe um out flat BUTT DUST.
Israel though has tried and tried and dealt with them like for like , well this time will need to Flatten the Cockroaches of hate and for those who do not hate: hopefully they will be spared even though the Israelis weren’t spared.
BTW: There are still many Christian Palestinians left
Dont confuse Palestinains as all Islamic they are not
Hilarious: First the UN was Created by the USA. The Counsel on Foreign Relations which is also a demonic group born of the USA.
When Man decides, like the US Government did to take the majority of Indians and screw them by putting them on what they considered Barren Land and Reservations of snakes and cactus the shame is on the Government. the Land in this case was Israels and Israel has suffered millenniums for their faith.
The Roams moved in and other Arabs and yet you seem to think Israel has no rights. For years and years they didnt but and I say BUT Israel was Finall Recognized as a STATE and God, not you or I said it would be and it is. If you have a problem with that you should take it directly to Him.
God designated that land for them and to them and man gave it back.
Now according to this:
In 1947, the UN General Assembly voted in favour of partitioning Palestine between Jews and Palestinians. Yet after the 1948 war, only 22 percent was left for the Palestinians: the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This remaining 22 percent was later occupied by Israel in 1967.
Six memorable days, known to Israelis as the Six-Day War and to Arabs and others as the 1967 War, redrew the region’s landscape in fundamental ways. In those six days, Israel defeated three Arab armies, gained territory four times its original size, and became the preeminent military power in the region.
ARABS took many a state and the Islamics took many a country. This is one country they arent getting NOW and or for future information ever again. I personally am not sure but Israel some how allows the Anti Christ – the REAL Sigular beast to place his image in the temple and thats when all helk really breaks out. I am not sure why, but obviously it has something to do with Cow Towing and when that happens well the proverbial Chiddt hits the Spiritual fan and it’s all over except the standing before God.
Soon answer to your question: Israel wasnt just given it, they as they have FOUGHT for it, fought for Israel and they did it as they did with Jericho. God told them, they believed Him and there they are
OH and oh great none spirit, but rather THE HOLY SPIRIT is alive and well. Sound familiar?
Now God will not be mocked but have fun, it’s your suffering not mine. God allows you your free will and wield it anyway you like. Hes not sending you anywhere you bought your ticket and you are headed full sped ahead on the train you picked.
SO: If the Indians stood up as they tried to do when we first entered the country it was them fighting against a formidable foe to whom they would never beat. The numbers weren’t there and that has happened with EVERY CULTURE FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME.
The Indians were taken advantage of and they should have been treated with more respect. Instead the Canadians taught them Trapping and scalp taking and so the peaceful Indians and tribes were savaged by out own savages for retaliation.
Israel is a little tiny nation and standing against very Large and populated nations of Islamics. Before the people were spread into Christians, non Christians and Islamics and a smattering of other man Made religions. Now it’s almost all Islamics because of the way they Savage their neighbors into submission.
This is a spiritual war and GOD happens to be backing Israel whether it seems that way now or not.
The world right now is in Birth pangs and we are watching prophesy being fulfilled.
Your lack of understanding, your mocking of God, all of the personality traits you show shows that you are lost and dont want to be saved and well – AMEN. You consider yourself wise but in your own eyes because an educated man would look at this and wonder what is happening and its Prophesy being fulfilled. You however want to just blame Israel instead of learning the where the when and the why its happening because you dont want to give credence to God or Israel/
Alrighty then – Its not boy Indians and had they fought back cool they did and it didnt work and it wouldnt work now so WHY IS IT WORKING FOR ISRAEL SINCE 1948? 75 years the angst and hits have been coming from the islamics and guess what ISRAEL is still there.
So give the “HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD HIS DUE, and GIVE Christ His, because He even died for you on the cross in Israel and His Father watched. His Father is watching now and sadly somethings are just set Winstone because Man is who he is: Mans heart is deceitfully wicked nd none know it but God, but because of His love for those He created He Told us about Himself and His Ability to see all things from begging to end and you just happen to be coming in near, not at but near the end. So with look for Him or dont, but its relationship not religions that will save your doubting soul.
Have a question for you 1patriotforever…
Assume the USA is occupied by the UN and the UN decides that the native americans deserve to return to their ancestral lands…..because the Great Spirit say so and lots of morons worldwide believe in the Great Spirit…(sounds familiar?)
So they take the lands that you have, your houses and give them to the Cherokee or Apache or Iroquois and most of your family is forced by fear of death and war to move to a refugee camp in Mexico or Canada.
How do you feel now?
Everytime you rebel, they bomb your neighborhood, friends and family died as “collateral damage”…too bad
White people had the whole country, but now you are limited to live in restricted areas on top of one another.
Now you know what a Palestinian may feel like
