      XPost: misc.legal, alt.education, alt.politics.democrats       XPost: talk.politics.guns, alt.society.liberalism       From: yourdime@outlook.com              After his LinkedIn account was allegedly suspended for criticizing pro-       Palestine Harvard students, EasyHealth CEO David Duel explained why this       conflict is personal to him, and doubled down on Bill Ackman’s calls not       to hire those Ivy League candidates.                     "I'm not surprised my account was taken down for sharing a list of       students who were advocating for the death and destruction of the Jewish       people," Duel said on "Cavuto: Live" Saturday. "We're not talking about       arguments over a two-state solution or political divisions of land. We're       talking about Hamas. We're talking about terrorism, whose own charter       calls for the extermination of the Jews."              "I think the hypocrisy and lack of moral clarity on campuses and with       administration is conscious or subconscious antisemitism," he expanded.       "And we need to make sure these students pay a price and that their       neighbors, friends and employers know that they harbor these beliefs."              LinkedIn did not respond to FOX News Digital's request for comment.              Duel was one of many U.S.-based CEOs to back billionaire hedge fund       manager Ackman’s argument to release the names of students who signed a       Harvard letter blaming Hamas’ terror attacks solely on Israel.              "I have been asked by a number of CEOs if Harvard would release a list of       the members of each of the organizations that have issued the letter       assigning sole responsibility for Hamas’ heinous acts to Israel, so as to       insure [ensure] that none of us inadvertently hire any of their members,"       Ackman wrote last Tuesday in a post on X, formerly Twitter.              Following the controversy created by the letter, the groups that signed on       to the version circulated on Sunday removed the names of their groups from       the letter.              A version of the letter published on Google Docs said, "This statement was       co-authored by a coalition of Palestine solidarity groups at Harvard. For       student safety, the names of all original signing organizations have been       concealed at this time."              Duel shared context Saturday on why it’s important to release the       students’ names.              "My family fled their homeland of Iran for over 2,000 years due to the       Islamic Revolution in 1979. The Persian-Jewish community had to flee       overnight, a once unimaginable situation," the CEO explained. "And as a       result of my family's experience, I don't take my freedoms and securities       for granted."              "Our campuses are supposedly bastions of free speech, but are truly       domains of preferred speech at best," he continued. "I think you and I       know very well that in the wake of George Floyd, if white nationalists       decided to hold a rally at UCLA or Harvard, it would never be allowed. Yet       these same elite institutions are allowing and often encouraging calls of       protests for the slaughter and genocide of the Jewish people."              Noting these are "the same people" who have vocally demanded safe spaces       from other cultural issues like misgendering, Duel also argued that the       students shouldn’t forever "be judged by the worst decision they made in       their life."              https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/ceo-defends-list-harvard-students-       signed-pro-palestine-letter-pay-price              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
