Daily News | Is it antisemitism or political discourse? Professor plans to sue Cabrini University after he was fired for tweets about Israel
“I don’t think that it is valuable and, arguably,not accurate to compare Israel to the Nazis, but in many other cases the criticism of Israel is usually based on human rights reports that, for example, show a reality on the ground that alarmingly nears apartheid,” she said, citingIn any case, professors should only be fired when they fail to competently perform their jobs, not for their speech in their personal and private capacities, she said.
Schwartz has also represented two teachers who were fired from Friends Central in 2017 after inviting a Palestinian professor and peace activist to speak to students at the Main Line Quaker school. The speech by then-Swarthmore College professor abuses without having it destroy their careers and their lives, he said. He said he’s also critical of Saudi Arabia and its human-rights violation, but would not want that conflated with Islamophobia.“I don’t want to deny that in any way,” he said.
“If I were a Jewish student who went to Cabrini, knowing there is someone on the faculty who spreads antisemitism, I don’t know if I would feel safe on campus,” Holtzman said. “I certainly wouldn’t feel safe to take his class.”
