There are professors who believe exactly what Amin Husain believes all over the academic establishment. But try finding one who will speak honestly about the motivating ideology behind jihad violence.
“NYU prof caught telling students Hamas baby killings ‘not true’ suspended after shocking clip revealed,” by Snejana Farberov and Ronny Reyes, New York Post, January 25, 2024:
An NYU adjunct professor and firebrand pro-Palestinian activist told a group of students at a recent “teach-in” that allegations that Hamas beheaded Israeli babies were “not true” — and denounced New York City as “Zionist,” according to a video from the event.
Amin Husain, 48, led a foul-mouthed discussion about the war in Israel at The New School, organized by the radical group Students for Justice in Palestine, on Dec. 5, during which he defended the Palestinians’ right to fight for their liberation — and played down claims of Hamas atrocities.
“They’re trying to say … ‘Oh my God, you support rapists and people that behead babies,’ both of which, whatever, we know it’s not true,” Husain says in a 2-minute clip taken from the livestream of the event that was first obtained by the Free Press….
In the recording, Husain, a part-time faculty member of NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, is seen seated behind a desk, wearing a traditional Arabic keffiyeh headdress and facing his audience.
“We live in a Zionist city,” Husain proclaims. “Let’s be f—ing real … these people can come up and say because of keffiyeh, you should go back to your country.”
One of the students chimes in: “We’re trying.”
“I have a petition going around, right, because I’m antisemitic. I won the honors of antisemitic multiple times, by the way,” the NYU staffer says.
Husain goes on to say that his profile on the website Canary Mission — which documents professors, student activists and organizations that promote hatred of the US, Israel and Jews on college campuses — “is one of the best biographies I have.”
“It’s endless. The citations are better than I could ever imagine,” he quips, drawing laughter from his listeners. “And everything they cite is true.”
Husain’s pages-long entry on Canary Mission’s portal states that he “has organized multiple violent New York City disruptions, promoted hatred of America and the police and incited hatred against pro-Israel supporters with Within Our Lifetime (WOL), an anti-Israel activist group in New York.”
The educator’s online dossier further states that Husain has claimed to have participated in a series of violent protests and riots staged by Palestinians between the late 1980s and early 1990s, known as the First Intifada, “and personally visited a leader of the terror group Palestinian Islamic Jihad.”…
The New School said in a statement that Husain had not been affiliated with the institution since 2019, but he has been previously invited to speak on campus by the university’s Students for Justice in Palestine group….
NYU spokesperson John Beckman told The Post that Husain is no longer teaching at the school, but did not specify if he was fired or when the university made its decision….

Arrest the sum, prosecute him, convict him, fire him. What’s so difficult?
Andrew Blitzer says
The hypocrisy is amazing. When Jews live in what these creatures perceive to be “their” territory it’s “occupation” and “settler colonialism” but then they turn around and complain that they’re just “immigrants” who are being told to “go back to your country”.
The Istanbulian says
Apparently they don’t like the palestinian approach to immigration
SC says
Time for all civilized donors to withdraw all funding. And withdraw kids from universities that teach barbarity or employ barbarian supporters..

Fire the scum asap!

I can’t help but feel that Amin’s wrath against Israel / Jewish people is ultimately baseless – that he himself has never suffered personally as a result of their actions. In the final analysis, I belief Amin and those like him condemn Israel and Jewish simply because the latter have achieved prosperity while at the same time ignoring ‘Allah’s Reign’.
Basically, I believe Amin simply experiences deep jealous and seething malice because in the absence of any factual Allah, Amin has (perhaps obliviously) simply assumed Allah’s role and as such any successful society that dismisses Allah’s reign, Amin takes as a personal slap in the face.
The myth of Allah is a handy tool / medium to project their own personal jealousy, anger and self-aggrandization whilst legitimizing the subjugation and killings of innocents.
So, from this kind of viewpoint at least, they are nothing but ordinary criminals, (albeit of the worst kind) who will kill if necessary to satisfy their own wants and needs. They are themselves the source of their decadent intent – not any mythical ‘Allah’ – nor has Israel done anything so bad as to possibly warrant the seething, obsessional Islamic hatred of Jewish people and the vile Hamas atrocities.

So, how does he support himself these days? Paid agitator? Who pays him?

How many times does Muhmd direct his followers to slice the throat or behead infidels?
Ever notice that Mslms defend the atrocious actions commited by Muhd by comparing them with the worst that people (not Christ) have done? And this is the man they say is their best example!
We need to show a better way & the emptiness of liberal athiesm is not it; that ideology is what got the west into deep trouble in the first place. Robust bold and strong Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ is the foundation that the western world is based on.
