Professor wants to kick Zionist ass

Gregory is a Professor at the University of Auckland. As I have explained many times a Zionist is simply a Jew who believes Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish majority state – a view shared by around 95% of Jews globally. It doesn’t mean they support the war in Gaza, the Netanyahu Government, settlements in a particular area etc. It just means they are Jewish and support Israel existing as a safe homeland for Jews.

So when Gregory says he wants to kick Zionist ass, how would that be taken by any Jewish students at Auckland University? Would they feel safe that one of their professors has said that he wants to kick their ass?

If a Jewish student was in one of his classes, would they feel safe wearing clothing that identifies them as Jewish?

The answer is of course not.

I’m not saying Gregory should face any sort of sanction for his language. What I am saying is that he probably regards himself as one of those tolerant inclusive types, and it would be nice if he considered using language that didn’t make Jews at Auckland University feel unwelcome, or worse.
