Natasha Hausdorff spoke in debate at University College Dublin on
November 16, 2023. Her arguments have been repeated on any number of
YouTube channels but this appears to have been less copied.
She's brilliant. This is worth watching if you haven't seen it already.

Natasha Hausdorff and Douglas Murray are two of the most consistently
accurate and passionate defenders of Israel's position in today's hyper-fraught environment. Any time they debate someone else, that other person inevitably comes across as a liar, a provocateur, and a
propagandist for the despicable forces of Iran and its proxies.
Most of the attendees of the debate were pretty appalling too. Rather
than trying to learn from the speakers, too many of them were just there
to cheer on - and echo - the words and sentiments of Hausdorff's
opponent. I don't know if a single attendee there came in with an open
mind.
That means the universities have failed in the mission that they have traditionally been envisioned to have: they are NOT succeeding in
opening minds to other possibilities and other ways of thinking that may
- or may NOT - be better than the views the students had when they
arrived. They have degenerated into institutions of progressive
brainwashing. The administrators and boards of governors should hang
their heads in shame and resign en masse so that educators, rather than propagandists, can be hired to do the teaching.
