The course was designed and taught by Nathan Thrall, a Jewish American writer and researcher who lives in Jerusalem.

“This class is wrong in its inception, and we are ethically compelled to point out why: Nathan Thrall is heavily financed by the government by Qatar, a leading funder of Hamas and other officially designated terrorist groups,” he said.

They're really trying to pull that claim on an actual Jewish person, huh?

“Must we accept as coincidence Mr Soros finances Mr Thrall and Bard?” Drimer added. “I am compelled to connect the dots.”

Oh, there we are. Qanon conspiracies.
- There is no greater traitor to Israel than an anti Zionist Jew.
If that isn’t an admission…
- This actually happened before the current conflict, it's a good read, it tell one small part of a story on how Israel have a tight grip toward any conversation toward the state.
  
  I know, but apartheid in Israel did not just start now. It’s been going on since forever. They can deny all they want, but they keep telling on themselves. Mostly unintentional of course, but admitting regardless.
Pressured? They just told their American dogs to sit down and wag their tail. Roll little Democrat. Now bark.
- Except the course wasn't dropped.
