GUEST: Nina Farnia, professor at Albany Law School, co-founder of the International People's Tribunal on US Imperialism, and co-founder of the newly formed Anti-Imperialist Scholars Collective, talks about free speech on campus.

This is the new normal. The original meaning of antisemitism has been changed into a fascist weapon, and used on students and teachers who have expressed horror at the genocide of the 21st century.

Instead of stopping this genocide, the American Empire is paying for the bombs and rockets, as well as the white phosphorus used on Palestinian schoolchildren.

People of color like Dr. Farnia will always be targeted by the willing intellectual thugs that populate the administrations of our schools and colleges. Don't like genocide in Gaza, why you must be an antisemite! Do you think that racism in Israel is linked to the racism of empire? Your voice must be silenced by the new McCarthyism. 

The Israeli holocaust of the Palestinians is a colonial project of the American elites. Both major parties are pro-genocide. The leaders of our colleges and our mainstream media are all pro-genocide. Like Hitler and the German people, we in the American Empire will bear the mark of Cain for as long as people have a history to read.
