    The fucking Rector of the University of Glasgow is not some “hate speaker”. He is a god damn hero doctor who has had to operate without anaesthetics on children victims of IDF barbarity. It is understandable that someone might get a bit extreme in their expressions after such an experience. Just ask lt Aldo Raine.

      I assume you are referring to Ghassan Abu-Sittah, although I can’t find anything tying him to the University of Glasgow.

      The person whose video message triggered the ban of the event, however, was Salman Abu Sitta. Different person.
