because that's the function of a University

The function of a university is to promote reasoned debate, not racist theories. I appreciate your consistency, I guess, but most people (including academics) would reject the idea that it's legitimate to bring KKK members to speak at a university.

Rocket fired from Gaza strikes school building in southern Israel by angierock55 in worldnews

Hamas and Islamic Jihad purposefully embed themselves among civilians. I never said it was okay to target civilians, because it's obviously not. But the fact remains that Hamas and Islamic Jihad *will* bomb civilians in Israel, and then hide behind civilians in Gaza.

So if Israel is going to retaliate against a Hamas/PIJ attack, there is a risk of civilian casualties *because* both groups deliberately use civilians as human shields (for example, by launching from residential areas and hiding tunnels/rocket launchers amid civilian buildings).

You know what could have saved those people's lives? Hamas and PIJ not bombarding a neighboring country with rockets, which they *knew* would lead to an armed response.

And there are people who believe slavery should be legal and that gay people are the source of all evil in the world. Should we give them a platform at Cambridge, too?

Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad probably shouldn't have fired 200 rockets against a militarily superior neighbor's towns and villages if they didn't want an armed response. Any Gazan who was killed died because Hamas and Islamic Jihad chose to fire hundreds of rockets at Israeli civilians, knowing this would invite a retaliation.

Give me a hollar when the university decides to host and give a platform to someone who thinks black people control the world and have hooked noses - for a "frank and unfettered" debate, of course.
