Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I genuinely don't understand what point you are trying to make.
He volunteered for the IDF. That makes him an IDF soldier.
He's a Professor at her medical faculty. That means she has to work with him to get her degree.
She refused to do that.
The university suspended her.
If NASA was in the habit of exploding babies, you'd've been well within your right to not want to have any contact with your HS teacher either.
Maybe this is an English issue, but generally students learn from, not work with their teachers. But again, the article does not actually mention he is her professor, only that they are at the same school. We don't know that they have any interaction at this school.
Except that's not why she was suspended. They suspended her for giving an interview where she calls out the professor for volunteering to provide medical services for the IDF. Since she was leading the campus protests, this was considered targeted harassment.
The title is wrong and misleading. A more accurate title would be "University student suspended for outing a pro-Israel professor in interview", but i guess truth doesn't get clicks.
Many students, specifically PhD students, also work for the university. I didn't say "work under", I said "work with", as in, work at the same faculty, i.e. they are coworkers.
She called him out publicly for volunteering for a foreign military currently enacting a genocide. It's a big stretch to call that "outing" or "public harassment".
And nowhere does the headline claim something different.
What a strange hill to die on.
No where in the article does it say they work at the same faculty. You simply do not know this to be true.
Except the headline does not say this.
Any reasonable person reading the headline would think the university is forcing her to work with the IDF and suspended her for refusing.
But like you just made my point for me, she was suspended for the calling out part.
I don't agree she should have been suspended, but the headline is 100 percent false.
You are twisting words beyond recognition here, and for what? The guy was an IDF soldier. How is that not "working along IDF soldiers"? It's not saying "working for the IDF", which seems to be your criterion.
Next you're going to complain that it says soldiers, plural, I assume? That would at least be a valid criticism in your quest to... archive what, exactly?
My comment is that the title is blatantly false.
It's already a stretch to say volunteering medical services for the IDF makes you a soldier, and yes it's a lie to say she was forced to "work" with soldiers.
But, let's give you the benefit and say is just semantics and the first part is accurate (it's not)
The title is STILL blatantly false because the school did NOT suspend her for refusing to work with this professor. The (arguably unjustified) suspension is unrelated.
Your argument is to blatantly lie. The professor of medicine volunteered as a medic in the IDF.
We can read the article. You aren't fooling anyone.
