While Facebook moves to shut down all voices that dissent from the leftist agenda, this Jew-hating dissembler is just fine with them. Columbia University doesn’t have any problem with him, either: his views are commonplace on campuses all over the country. But whenever I or anyone else who opposes jihad terror and Jew-hatred is invited to speak on a college campus, there are protests and now even riots from leftist students who can’t stand the expression of any opposing point of views. Campuses today have become hotbeds of leftist indoctrination; Hamid Dabashi is just another one of the ones doing the indoctrinating.
“Columbia Professor Calls Zionists ‘Master Thieves’ in Facebook Post,” by Aaron Bandler, Jewish Journal, February 8, 2018 (thanks to Mark):
A professor at Columbia University railed against Zionists “infiltrating” the Women’s March on Facebook, going as far as referring to Zionists as “master thieves.”
Story continues below advertisementHamid Dabashi, who teaches Iranian Studies and Comparative Literature, was irked that actress Scarlett Johansson was a featured speaker at the Women’s March since she was once the spokeswoman for SodaStream, which was based in Israel.
“Scarlet Johansson is a violent Zionist deeply committed to the systemic theft of Palestine and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their homeland— she appears on commercials selling Israeli products made on the stolen and occupied Palestinians lands — her appearance on Women’s March rallies deeply compromises the moral authority of the movement,” Dabashi wrote.
Dabashi called for members of the Women’s March to “denounce this pernicious infiltration and appropriation of the movement.”
“Zionists are master thieves— they steal Palestinian land and culture, they steal Jewish history and heritage, and they steal every progressive movement to twist it to their advantage— beware!” Dabashi concluded the post.
Dabashi continued his tirade against Johansson in the comments section, where he attacked her for being a “careerist Zionist” and promoting “a product made on stolen Palestinian land and with abused Palestinians labor.”
The Columbia professor has a history of vitriolic anti-Israel statements, including calling Israel supporters “Gestapo appratchniks” and that Israelis have “a vulgarity of character,” per Discover the Networks. Dabashi is also a Hamas apologist, having once referred to the terror organization as “the poor and impoverished representative of a poor and impoverished people” and disparaged those who criticized Hamas.
“The obscenity of first demonizing Hamas and then blaming it for the vicious war crimes that Israel is perpetrating against Palestinians has now passed any measure of common decency,” Dabashi said. “Hamas is the legitimate and democratically elected representative of Palestinian people – a grassroots organization deeply embedded in and integral to the Palestinian national liberation movement.”
Hamas had a major electoral victory in the 2006 Gaza elections; the following year they cemented an iron grip on the region after a violent conflict with Fatah. Elections haven’t been held in Gaza ever since….

This is the kind of neo-Marxist junk scholarship that young White chumps pay good money in what passes for “Higher Education” in the year 2018.

So, Ms Johansson is ‘violent’ for advertising Sodastream but driving cars into bus queues is ‘resistance’.

Dabashi, another cackling muslim idiot that demonstrates to the world through face book, that muslims are fools, palestinians are trash and face book is a tool of islam. It is interesting to note that all these “islamic scholars” are each a semi literate hate monger, incapable of dealing with reality. From every motor mouth in islam, it is obvious that there is a plague of brain wasting disease rampant throughout it.

What he needs is a session with a pressure washer and a good caustic cleanser.

It seems these days in the West, you can only really get away with casually insulting and attacking Jews on a regular basis. If you swapped in Muslims, it would be the end of your life and professional career.
