(Illinois) American-born Steven Salaita, a professor of Jordanian and Palestinian parents at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, was sacked the other week due to his open (and very public) hostility towards Israel. Has demanded — yes, demanded — that the university reinstate him, by defending his vapid tweets against everybody bar Islamic terrorists by citing free speech and academic freedom.
However, the university said it was standing by its decision to withdraw Steven Salaita's professorship over his pro-Palestine, anti-Israel (and anti-American) racist tweets which it has said were uncivil and demeaning.
So what did Steven Salaita tweet which the University found offensive?
Anybody else notice the typical Arab not-one-word-of-condemnation about ISIS, Syria, Iraq, Yemen?
Seeing as he hates the US so much, I wonder if he will move lock stock and barrel to the Middle East. Nah, typical left-wing prick, happy to bitch from the sidelines.

"Hamas" is the biggest red herring in American political discourse since Saddam's "weapons of mass destruction." #Gaza #GazaUnderAttack

#Israel gets billions in aid, arms, and financial subsidies from the US, yet most Americans condemn imaginary Black women for welfare.

Rednecks need a new slogan. Instead of "kick their ass and take their gas," how about "#Gaza is a disaster, but Netanyahu is my master"?

Republicans are such tough guys, eager to kill 4 God and country. #Israel slaps around the US of A, though, and all they do is ask for more.

"#Hamas makes us do it!" This logic isn't new. American settlers used it frequently in slaughtering and displacing Natives. #Gaza

As a citizen of Jordan, it disgusts me that my illustrious "king" hasn't yet booted #Israel's ambassador. #Gaza #GazaUnderAttack

Hasbara trolls justify the very worst of human behavior, but that seems almost secondary to their interminable stupidity. #Gaza #Israel
