  1. There was very little information on the reasoning behind that move! Outside pressure by Israel, by America? By „donors“ of the university? Leaves a very bad taste in my mouth that it seems unacceptable to see what can be done about the suffering people in Palestine!

  2. Yeah so much for free speech when it comes to dead Gazans.

  3. Very good! Francesca Albanese is an unhinged Hamas mouthpiece and should not be platformed using my/our tax money.

    Let the downvoting begin. 😀

  4. It’s a shame, Francesca Albanese is a great speaker and person.

  5. Im glad. No Hamas mouthpiece should have a voice at a uni.

  6. The panel already had an antisemitic touch. If you are questioning Israels right to defend themselfe you are questioning their right to exist. Hopefully the organizers got charged for attempting that. 

  7. Vile antisemite, it’s deplorable she’s still on the UN paycheck and can’t bring herself to condemn Hamas targeting civilians exclusively on Oct 7th.

  8. Switzerland finds itself approaching a strange situation. Currently, events that label what is happening in Gaza a genocide get deplatformed, liked this one. However Swiss law makes it illegal to deny genocides that are internationally recognised. If what is happening in Gaza were to pass that threshold in future, it could switch from a cancellable issue to state that what is happening is genocide to a criminal offence to deny that it is such. This is just a hypothetical, but imagine that this event was cancelled due to supposed risk of lack of balance; but there is a world in which even offering that nominal balance would be illegal.

  9. All the west is just hypocrites than ut comes to the rights of Muslims.
