    To everyone not reading this article: “working along side IDF soldiers” in this case means being a student at a university where one professor had volunteered for a short stint to be a medic for the IDF (because, you know, Oct 7 happened)

    She got suspended because she outed him (though not by name directly) in an interview and opened him up to possible harassment. The suspension is questionable and we can debate the limits of free speech in this case.

    BUT she was not suspended because she refused to work with or for the IDF. That is a bs title.

      BUT she was not suspended because she refused to work with or for the IDF. That is a bs title.

      Reread the title, it does not say that.

      She refused to work with a person who contributed to the genocide against her own people. He chose to be complicit in genocide. IDF soldiers are monsters and can fuck off. We should hand this guy over to the Hague. edit: typo

        Is the title implying or not implying that her suspension is related to the fact that objected to working alongside IDF?

        Explain to me how being a student is considered “working alongside” with a professor simply because they are both at the same school?

          The title says working alongside IDF soldiers. It’s not implying anything.

          Explain to me how being a student is considered “working alongside” with a professor simply because they are both at the same school?

          At the same time, Mohammad told her Democracy Now! interviewer: “One of the professors of medicine we have at Emory recently went to serve as a volunteer medic” in the IDF. That professor, she continued, “participated in aiding and abetting a genocide, in aiding and abetting the destruction of the healthcare system in Gaza and the murder of over 400 healthcare workers, and is now back at Emory so-called ‘teaching’ medical students and residents how to take care of patients”.

          Because she is a medical student and he is a professor of medicine.
