@oskarmazerath Ahahaha so you are subjective again. Why as a foreigner should I care about your own politics? I dont care about the administration, as you admitted it is about human rights. But I agree about wasting time.

[Socio-Legal Studies @SocioLegalStudy]

@oskarmazerath Also, nobody coming from abroad needs to know what happening at Boğaziçi. It is nonsensical to try to block event and exert pressure on foreign academics. As a determinant of cleverness, you do not seem very clever, and you also have difficulty reading English sentences well.

@oskarmazerath Wrong. I deliberately did not specify certain people in terms of such rhetoric, but made general point rhetoric shifts among conformists. It's undeniable the rhetoric is common among those people. it was a sarcasm with his reasoning since the topic wasn't about his entry to uni.

@VictorKattan @rfalk13 @MichaelLynk5 @alattar_mohsen @MShahabuddin77 @MunirNuseibah @juss_professor @pennyjgreen @Mandymaryturner @mutazqafisheh In private, the rhetoric shifts to 'Arabs backstabbed us' or 'Palestinians sold their own land.' Don't give up and be deceived by such claims of being oppositional or left-wing. As a Zizekian, I see that this perspective is even further right than the right-wing itself :)

[Socio-Legal Studies @SocioLegalStudy]

@Ostrov_A Oww your arguements seem nice but only with one slight problem, if you categorize the case under levee en masse, then whatever you say falls into desuetude.

@say_cem @VictorKattan @rfalk13 @MichaelLynk5 @alattar_mohsen @MShahabuddin77 @MunirNuseibah @juss_professor @pennyjgreen @Mandymaryturner @mutazqafisheh Ahaha, important topic, but is this your best argument? What about Bogaziçi's past? Was everything ideal before the faculty? Politics among academics is well-known. Let's discuss broadly rather than just the faculty’s legality, long circumscribed by the academicians themselves :)

@JaninaDill Really? How about the UK's response after the Falklands?

[Socio-Legal Studies @SocioLegalStudy]

@DrorGloberman @ShaykhSulaiman 1- Nope, all of them are wrong. The Palestinian Authority was not under British Mandate but after the WW-I, Palestine was given under the rule of League of Nations, and LoN assigned Brits do govern the area.

[Socio-Legal Studies @SocioLegalStudy]

@DrorGloberman @ShaykhSulaiman 7- Based on your logic then, if one day Israeli citizens sell the 2 percent of Israel's territory, then buyers can say you should learn to "share the land". Very senseless, simple and illogical.

[Socio-Legal Studies @SocioLegalStudy]

@DrorGloberman @ShaykhSulaiman 6- The only good argument might be Jews bought already some lands, and they have a right over such a land. But again it was only %2 of the whole Palestine. I am wondering if there is any country who does not sell its 2 percent to foreigners.
