News about John Mearsheimer

A senior BBC Three employee referred to a 'holohoax' and called white people a 'virus,' and deleted a string of anti-Semitic Facebook messages. On Friday, Dawn Queva, a senior program scheduler at the corporation, released a bizarre video with the words 'Only those who live a lie hate the truth.' The clip was based on the 1987 film The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, which tells the tale of a man who makes seven children out of green mud and gives them rules, which they find restrictive and interference. Queva posted anti-Semitic and extreme messages on her Facebook page this week, and told critics this morning, 'Come at me, my shoulders are broad.'

Dawn Queva has been posting more social media material criticizing Jews and white people today. The BBC has been encouraged to investigate her, with some commentators calling for her to be fired, and a advocacy group pressing for police intervention over 'completely horrific' posts. One of Ms Queva's Facebook posts appeared to debunk the conspiracy theory that the Rothschild family was behind a 'holohoax,' a term used by Holocaust deniers to suggest that the Nazi genocide was manufactured. And the senior co-ordinator who supports the BBC Three's scheduling team showed no signs of slowing this morning, telling her Facebook followers: 'Come at me by all means, my shoulders are broad.'

The scorecard comes amid a long-running debate about free expression and deplatforming on US campuses, and if so-called'snowflake' students are to be shielded from opinions they find offensive. Self-censorship was 'pervasive' across all U.S. colleges, according to the researchers. Many 63 percent of those polled were concerned about losing their identity because they had misunderstood. Conservatives learned more from this than liberals. Just over one out of every five students said they were under pressure to avoid touchy topics in class, while 22 percent said they often self-censored. According to the researchers, abortion, racial injustice, and Covid-19 mandates were the three most controversial topics.
