Yale University has become the latest top institution in the United States to ban a pro-Palestine group, this time for protests against a visit by far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

Ben-Gvir’s stop near the university in New Haven, Connecticut, on Wednesday sparked outrage as protesters criticised the minister’s support for surging attacks on Gaza, and most recently, his calls to bomb “food and aid depots” in the Palestinian territory.

The administration also said the student organisation Yalies4Palestine would lose its official status for sending “out calls over social media for others to join the event” and for later taking credit for the event.

Whats that speech of Al Pacinos in Scent of a woman, "If I was half the man I was five years ago, I'd take a flamethrower to this place!"

Yale is disgusting today and what dignity they once held is sold out for some dirty money from genocidal theocrats. The whole leadership tier there should be fired and replaced. What an absolute joke of a school.
