The guy advocated mass murder and put the blame for anti-semitism on the victims. He can go to hell, and the hypocrisy of the far left has never been clearer when it comes to "speech has consequences".
So I take it you are equally offended when Alan Dershowitz et al basically advocate Third Reich tactics in eliminating Palestinians at all costs?
Dershowitz of course belongs in an institution- a mental institution. This does not change the fact that the university should have been allowed to fire Salaita.
A nice parallel is how one would have responded to the Brandeis-Ayaan Hirsi Ali fiasco. I can't speak for Ray Goldfield I of course supported the revocation of the honorary doctorate offer.

Did he? Neither, surely, follows from those tweets cited above.
I refer to the tweet I referenced above where he put "anti-semitism" and "honorable" in the same sentence.
And the point I was trying to make about him not actually being fired is purely legalistic. If he doesn't have a legal basis for this current suit, then it's a frivolous lawsuit, and it makes him more of an attention-monger than he already is.
I'm not familiar with all the legal complexities when it comes to the case, but assuming they didn't enter a final contract together, I don't see how he "fired" in the legal sense. Of course he was essentially fired, but not in the legal definition, and thus not in a way that the courts could recognize as a firing.
