In a disturbing development, a lecturer at Stanford University has been suspended following allegations of anti-Semitic behavior. The lecturer, whose identity remains undisclosed, is accused of forcing Jewish students to stand in a corner while labeling them as ‘colonizers.’ He is further alleged to have downplayed the Holocaust and defended Hamas, referring to them as ‘freedom fighters.’

Accusations

The allegations were brought forward by the co-presidents of Stanford’s Israeli Student Association. The lecturer reportedly asked Jewish students to raise their hands, separated them from their belongings, and ordered them to stand in a corner. The lecturer justified the killing of over 1,300 Israelis by Hamas as a form of Palestinian resistance, likening the students’ treatment to that of Palestinians. He also reportedly asked students to share their ancestral roots and labeled each as a ‘colonizer’ or ‘colonized’ based on their heritage.

Downplaying the Holocaust

The lecturer’s alleged anti-Semitic behavior extended to the downplaying of the Holocaust. When asked about the number of Jews who died in the Holocaust, he responded, ‘Yes. Only 6 million,’ further incensing the Jewish student community.
