What a read! “Mofokeng’s criticism was an act of standing up to power. She was not punching down; she was punching up. To discipline her is to misunderstand language, to misread context and to misalign professional ethics with power rather than justice.” https://t.co/Vlwj8n76JX

Fixed.
Imagine having a “middle of the road opinion” on the extermination of over 2 million people—absolute cretinous ghouls at the NYT and every person involved in this pro-genocide propaganda. Thanks for putting your names out here for us to never forget your complicity. @sharonNYT

In 1998, Bill Clinton ordered a cruise missile attack on Sudan’s Al-Shifa factory, which produced 90% of the country’s pharmaceuticals. The destruction of the factory resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands from treatable diseases.
Bill Clinton in Michigan: "I understand why young Palestinian and Arab Americans in Michigan think too many people have died — I get that, but…" "Hamas makes sure that they're shielded by civilians, they'll force you to kill civilians, if you want to defend yourself."

You can buy a new flag, but you can't bring 180,000 people back to life. How is it that this "full statement" says NOTHING about murderous genocide funded by the USA?
