From the linked article by Nils A. Haug:
Compared to the principled stance by Western leaders of upholding academic freedom and freedom of speech at the time of Rushdie’s controversial book, when it came to applying such rights to Jewish-Israeli writers, academics, achievers, intellectuals, scholars, scientists and the like, all of a sudden, lauded constitutional principles are being ignored – even by prestigious academic institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania.
The arrogance behind the intent to cancel, dismantle, deprive, and deny the deep wisdom, brilliance, and genius of outstanding men and women who have contributed so much to the ethos, culture and greatness of Western civilization, is difficult to comprehend. Of Nobel Laureates, 22% are Jewish - from 0.2% of the world population - and include Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, and Milton Friedman.
The [feeble] explanation is Jew-hatred in Western societies, [semi-]concealed for years behind a façade of tolerance and social niceties, now no longer lurking but standing proud as it was in Germany during the 1930s.
At this time of international turmoil, the world needs expertise and wisdom from the finest minds and great statesmen, including the Jewish ones. It is to the detriment of Western civilization and society, should this excellence be denied to it at this dark time of post-morality and spreading barbarism.
