Adam Schiff Tears Into Anti-Israel California Professors on Real Time : ‘Find a Different Profession’
Former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) tore into anti-Israel college professors in California during an appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher, Friday, telling them to “find a different profession.”
During the show, host Bill Maher said, “You’re asking why the kids are protesting for Hamas, a terrorist organization? It’s because [of] their professors. Let me read some quotes from professors, and a couple of them are from California. I’d love to know what the leading politician in California says about this.”
Maher then read the quote:
“The Zionists have been exposed for the criminals and bloodthirsty animals they are. This is a gift from Allah to the world. He sends reminders to us, whether it was 9/11 or the Second Intifada waking the Muslim spirit.” Okay, that’s somebody from the University of California, Irvine. Another one, California, Merced, talks about what Palestinians are doing, “bravely paragliding– bravely paragliding over the fence to capture Israeli soldiers.” I don’t think it was soldiers.
After Maher asked Schiff, “What would your comment be to these California professors?” the California congressman replied, “Find a different profession,” as the audience applauded.
Schiff – who is running for the late Dianne Feinstein’s former seat in the Senate – continued:
I’m just so appalled that students don’t feel safe at school, they don’t feel welcome, they’re taking time out of college because they don’t feel that they’re welcome on campus, and I think that a lot of these university presidents have done a terrible job addressing this. They’re afraid of their own shadow. They’re afraid to actually speak out about what took place on October 7th. I think Israel has a right to defend itself, I think it has a duty to defend itself.
He concluded, “I can also care about the loss of Palestinian lives, it’s not incompatible, but these days it seems like for a lot of people, your heart can’t be big enough to grieve the loss of Israeli lives and also grieve the loss of Palestinian lives.”
