Geneva - The Israeli army has killed 94 university professors, along with hundreds of teachers and thousands of students, as part of its genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, ongoing since 7 October 2023, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said in a statement issued on Saturday

According to Euro-Med Monitor, the Israeli army has targeted academic, scientific, and intellectual figures in the Strip in deliberate and specific air raids on their homes without prior notice. Those targeted have been crushed to death beneath the rubble, along with members of their families and other displaced families.

    University professor can be used for any university teacher, while a professor degree is a specific title. I’ve been taught by teachers with professor titles, doctorates, and masters. They are all teachers.

      See my reply above with a napkin calculation - without knowing how many there are, how does one conclude they’re being targeted? The numbers are so low (sorry for the cynicism) one could argue Bibi is trying to wipe out all the window washers or something.

        Is your argument really that a certain profession isn’t a large enough % to be “targeted?”

        🇵🇸 Nobody sides with the genocidal fascists when this over with 🇵🇸

          Imagine you’re an IDF planner and Bibi personally tasks you to use the cover of the coming campaign to take out the Palestinian academia. Three months in, you’re called in to report on your progress. Do you think he’s going to be impressed that, on top of the statistical average, you’ve managed to kill 0,34% of them?

            “94 university professors, along with hundreds of teachers and thousands of students”

            I’d say the piece of shit is likely fairly impressed, yeah…

            Your comment’s lack of awareness is striking. Beep boop.
