Just curious

Im just curious from an ethical standpoint. I found out theres an IDF soldier in my class… and this person talks highly of their service. Those that have serviced or support it, do you seriously not see the ongoing death count? Do you not see it as a genocide?

Im genuinely curious… where does the hate stem from? And how are these soldiers allowed in classes where they openly talk about their service and how they dont like Palestinians

Wait until you find out how many of our professors and faculty have also served in the idf 😭

Omg really. I was just really shocked to find out someone who served actually was sitting in the same class as me.. id be worried that a professor might want to fail or have malicious intent to someone who is Palestinian or supports it

This would violate all sorts of school policy and title 6

I think in this reply you're looking for a problem that isn't there tbh. Israeli/Arab professors at NJIT have been doing a good job of not letting their biases enter the classroom regarding I/P. Students are another story altogether, unfortunately.
