“I’m a professor who got fired and arrested for protesting Israel’s Gaza war”
For nearly 20 years, Danny Shaw served as a professor of Latin American and Caribbean studies at the City College of New York. But, last month, he was accused of anti-Semitism and fired for his outspoken criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza as well as the use of US weapons and money in the enclave’s destruction.
“They try to label us as terrorists, but what are our crimes? Student encampments, books, the truth?” says Shaw.
