USC Professor Suspended and Barred from Campus For Saying, “Hamas [Terrorists] Are Murderers… Every One Should be Killed, and I Hope They all are Killed”
The University of Southern California has placed economics professor John Strauss on paid administrative leave, with an additional ban from setting foot on campus, following comments he made about Hamas terrorists during a student protest.
On November 9, amidst a sea of students advocating for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and commemorating Palestinian “civilian” casualties, the 72-year-old scholar reportedly lost his academic poise and exclaimed, “Hamas are murderers. That’s all they are. Every one should be killed, and I hope they all are killed.”
His video immediately went viral online for telling the truth. The digital uproar led to administrative action, with Strauss being placed on paid administrative leave and barred from campus.
.@USC is forcing tenured Prof John Strauss to teach his classes remotely for the rest of the semester after a doctored video circulated that made it seem like he had wished death on all Palestinians.
