Arrr! The scallywags at USC be takin' back the invite to the smartest matey, all 'cause he be talkin' against Israel. They claim 'threats' be the reason, but it be a feeble excuse, aye! A bunch of landlubbers, I say!

Arrr, let the top scholar speak or be clear why ye be keepin' 'em silent, mateys! Aye aye!

In the parlance of a 17th-century pirate, there be a question afoot about whether Asna Tabassum, who be spouting off about the state of Israel meeting a watery end, should be the one to address the fine graduates of the University of Southern California.There be some wise folks like Mary Katherine Ham, David Harsanyi, and Guy Benson, staunch supporters of the Jewish land, who be sayin' let her have her say, for ignorance and hate need the light shone upon 'em.I'm in agreement with these swashbucklers.But there be others who reckon that callin' for Israel's destruction be as bad as hurlin' a racial insult, and I can see where they be comin' from too.But what we all should see plain as the nose on our face, is that USC be feedin' us a load of codswallop with their excuse for canceling the valedictorian's speech. And worse yet, they be pointin' the finger at the Jews.There be no record of pro-Israel folks causin' chaos like the leftists do, so the danger USC be spoutin' about be as real as a mermaid's tail.If USC thinks Tabassum's views be not befitting, then they should say so, instead of blamin' imaginary violent Jews.This backing out from USC be a cowardly move, for Tabassum's anti-Israel talk bein' echoed by some high and mighty folks in Congress.The left be overlookin' dangerous anti-American chatter, and USC be followin' suit with their fibs about why Tabassum won't be talkin'.There be a long history of turnin' a blind eye to antisemitism, a path that leads to no good end.Whether the call for Israel's demise be antisemitic and should keep one from speakin' at a ceremony be a matter of debate fit for the halls of higher learnin'. But USC be dodgin' the question, makin' it seem like Tabassum be silenced by threats from the likes of Zionists.My say be to let her speak, but USC must explain clear as a spyglass why they be pullin' the plug on her speech.
