- The University of Southern California is allowing the Jewish professor barred from its campus over comments about Hamas to return amid the school’s ongoing investigation into the matter.
- The professor, John Strauss, made the comments during a Nov. 9 student protest.
- Over 7,000 people have signed an online petition calling for USC to terminate Strauss, while nearly 21,000 have signed on calling to reinstate Strauss, who made the comments days after Hamas’ deadly terror attack on Israel, which almost immediately declared war on the militant group.
