Jewish people in Dermatology used Black students support from Gaza as their reason to write a joined later asking for the dissolution of all programs aimed at recruiting Black students into Dermatology just last month.

When your "valedictorian" posts inflammatory content on their personal social media account that could result in drawing unwelcome attention to your expensive and widely attended high-profile event you have to consider the safety and well being of your guests and the reputation of your institution above all else. It's not that hard to understand. She earned the valedictorian status, but that is it. She gets no say in the decisions of the administration and they owe her no personal consideration for her status. If this event were to go sideways the university would be mired in bad PR for a long time. But if she accepts her diploma without incident and leaves the university in good standing they can turn their attention to the next academic year and the next crop of students looking to graduate and be successful. She has no right to interrupt the flow of the organization.

Good call cancelling her speech. She clearly stated here that she doesn't believe in Israel's right to exist. In other words, she's okay with whatever happens to Israel, including Hamas' "resistance". She believes in "equality for all" aside from Israeli's. These college students have become more and more radical, all under the name of "equality" and empathy -- it's all really a guise with a deeper disdain, and even hatred, for people who they deem to be in a "privileged" class. It's hate wrapped up in a pretend love for the world/equality for all.

So the CNN reporter is asking her about what she wrote about the terror state Israel , and she has to explain herself. We all remember six months ago when the war criminal Netanyahu Gave a speech quoting the Bible, amalak: to kill them all, women, children, men, their livestock, and sucking babies… CNN forgot one of the terror state Colonels was on live TV and said they are human animals, no water, no food, no electricity, kill them all… Interesting how this poor girl is being interrogated and she has to justify one sentence that she wrote, but CNN forgot to mention all the speeches and the genocidal speeches from the terror state. This is totally absurd. Why should the state of Israel exist? Based on what ethnic cleansing, refusing to abide by every international law and United Nations resolution ? 194 from the United nation gives the right for all refugees the right to return to their homeland. CNN should do research on the agreement between German Jews and the Nazis, the agreement was called. Haavara Agreement - This is not a conspiracy theory. It has been documented throughout history. That the German Zionist Jews made an agreement with Nazi Germany, The agreements in short promised Zionist Jews from Germany, the right to settle in Palestine…. What gives them the right to return after 2000 years, yet the natives of Palestine don’t have the right to return after they were thrown out by the terrorist Zionist, in 1948. And left as refugees, homeless . CNN should look up all the massacres that were committed by the Zionist terrorist Jews in 1948 to create fear And ethnic cleanse all Palestinians … The CNN reporter did not write the questions they were handed to her by CNN Jerusalem Bureau in Israel. Every story concerning Palestine in Israel has to be vetted by CNN Jerusalem bureau, meaning the story the report has to be vetted by the terror state. This is how much control Israel has on the United States from our politicians, to Hollywood, to the mass media. No nation has the right to exist by ethnic cleansing the natives, and massacring them, and dehumanizing them. Really this is like such a oh I gotcha question, lol. Absurd! Research the Haavara agreement… and after you read it, you will see we are aiding and supporting Nazis.

@@roiissac158 Yes or no answers for complex issues is for the benefit of idiots, purely. If you want to talk to a college-educated person who is a valedictorian about a complex issue and want a simple binary answer, you either don't know who you're talking to or are just oblivious to the world. Sometimes, you can't simply say yes or no, because life isn't that simple. That's like saying do you support abortion. Do you support welfare. Do you support paying taxes. Do you support having a clean environment. Those questions can be oversimplistic and if you speak in absolutes, you sound like a zealot, which most people may not be. If you don't want to be thoughtful, that's your own business. Don't force that on somebody else. The way a question is framed can be as important as the response, too. Rather than say "some post you liked said "Abolish Israel", do you support abolishing Israel, yes or no" and sounding like an idiot, it's better to ask what that means to them or is it accurate that they even support that or support its abolition fully, and then ask why.... if that's the point of an interview. Otherwise, it's meant to dismiss and write off a person. Let somebody disqualify themselves and such. Is that the point of media? It makes more sense to understand what the view is and how they came to it. Otherwise, why give any air to it?
