I would personally put that in the eye roll category.

The problem is that pro-Palestine camp is a pretty active group of evangelists that inserts itself into every discussion and comments on unrelated posts. You have to moderate them to avoid alienating or fatiguing your normal users.

A funny example is LinkedIn of all places. Personally, I constantly see pro-Palestine propaganda liked or shared from connections. Most of that content is demagoguery or outright lies. Has no place on a work-related so I also report it.

I have no dog in this race but the content of the pro-Palestine crowd is simply low-quality.

This is misrepresenting the article quite a bit. The newspaper also sides with him after having reviewed all accounts.

He did not "burn" bridges, the relationship was very positive up until the complaint. And he "left" the Uni only temporarily because of an administrative technicality. This is a common thing in German-speaking countries. Some universities have hard limits on the total terms of study. You can avoid racking up total terms by temporarily ex-matriculating yourself.

He also only retweeted the "racist" cartoon and did not think much of it. He was not even aware it was considered to be problematic. Something like this can easily happen to anyone. Especially, in the heated debate climate of the last year.

They university did not expel him, the advisor just cut off all contact. This is more a Kafkaesque situation where the university is exploiting a technicality to comply with Chinese pressure.

Agreed. I am quite tired of these craven point-and-shame sites. Couple years back, I also used to browse communities such as /r/circlebroke or /r/subredditdrama that thrive on mocking their ideological enemy while being protected from any kind of criticism. Since then, I have realized what kind of deleterious effect browsing those websites has. The constant positive feedback loop only leads to groupthink and the further dehumanization of others. Unfortunately, Reddit really encourages this type of community model.
