Harvard’s Kennedy School refused to hire human rights expert @KenRoth because of his criticisms of Israel. And if the school can censor him, @mehdirhasan asks, is there hope for anyone else? “If they can do this to me, imagine what they can do to lesser figures," Roth says.

It wasn't because of "criticism of Israel." It was because of obsessive hate for (and lies about) Israel out of proportion to anything it can be accused of.

Maybe being super obsessed with Israel shows he is unbalanced, hence, not fit for the job?
1. There is no ‘lesser figure’ than @KenRoth ; 2. Roth didn’t engage in ‘criticism of Israel’ but engaged in a constant demonization of Israel and her citizens for existing in the most obsessive and compulsive way to the exclusion of nearly all other global issues.

I love Mehdi's show. He's always straight forward. It was the best MSNBC show for Mr Roth to be on. I hope that Harvard's Kennedy School goes out of business from having to compensate for their illegal behavior towards Mr Roth.

Criticism of Israel is not antisemitic. There is no such thing as “anti-Zionist criticism of Jews”, that is just antisemitism. Antisemitism is not a type of legitimate criticism of Israel. Hope that helps ✌️

I was wondering how long it would take for @KenRoth to reach the bottom - @MehdiHasanShow - in his "they did it to me" campaign. I heard Harvard "Fellows" are expected to generate new ideas .

Lolz I’d be concerned about this influencing the debate but I have a feeling Medhi’s viewer has already made up his mind on the matter.
"lesser figures"?! This is not the public relations win you think it is, Ken.

There is a difference between criticism and demonization.
