Professor's 'Death to Israel' Rant Sparks Controversy at Kent State University
By Todd Starnes
Published October 28, 2011 | FoxNews.com

A Kent State University professor allegedly with former ties to a jihadist website shouted “Death to Israel” at a public lecture delivered on the Ohio campus by a former Israeli diplomat.

The outburst came during a presentation this week by Ismael Khaldi, a former deputy counsel general at the Israeli consulate in San Francisco. During the question and answer period, KSU history professor Julio Pino launched a series of provocative questions at Khaldi.

At some point, the professor shouted “Death to Israel” and then stormed out of the building. The event was first reported by the KSU student news site KentWired.

KSU president Lester Lefton, who is Jewish, denounced Pino’s outburst, calling it “reprehensible and an embarrassment to our university.”

At the same time, he defended Pino’s free speech rights.

Aint multi-multiculturalism grand? Muslims add so much to our culture, whether it is their hatred for Israel or their honor killings.

I'm surprised Planned Parenthood hasn't expanded to honor killings.

What do we learn here?

Criticizing a muslim = bigotry.
A muslim advocating the genocide of Israel is just a multi-cultural issue.

I guess its just too much to expect civilized behavior from a barbaric muslim.
 
If "Death to Israel" is simple free speech, then I should be free to yell, "Death to Islam." Right?
Lets go down to Occupy Wall Street and blame muslims for our financial mess.
