Muslim Rights Watch Netherlands has set up an Erasmus University hotline. The reason, a spokesperson for the advocacy group told EM, is ‘multiple reports and notifications of an unsafe situation’. “That is partly caused by the professor’s racist and pro-Zionist statements on X.” The organisation warns it will hold demonstrations on campus if the university does not take action.<\/p>\n

In dozens of posts on platform X a professor from the Erasmus School of Law expressed their views about Gaza and Palestinians. The account has been offline for months, but screenshots of the posts are circulating within the university. A PhD candidate from the faculty has forwarded these to many staff members. Erasmus Magazine has seen the screenshots.<\/p>\n

The screenshots show that the professor in question, among other things, shared posts denying the hunger in Gaza. Posts that described murdered journalists as terrorists were also shared, and posts stating that Israel\u2019s actions in Gaza are not wrong but actually great. The advocacy group Muslim Rights Watch Netherlands (MRWN) demands the professor\u2019s dismissal and is threatening to hold demonstrations on campus.<\/p>\n\n\t
