Yale has suspended an international law scholar and outspoken defender of Palestinian rights, after an AI-powered, far-right website called Jewish Onliner accused her of ties to a group on a U.S. sanctions list, an apparent reference to the advocacy organization Samidoun. Helyeh Doutaghi wrote in a statement, “[Yale Law School] actions constitute a blatant act of retaliation against Palestinian solidarity … I am being targeted for one reason alone: for speaking the truth about the genocide of the Palestinian people that Yale University is complicit in.” Doutaghi added the move from Yale is “the last refuge of a crumbling order — an empire in decline, resorting to brute repression to stifle and crush those who expose its unraveling hegemony.”
