Video of DePaul's Thomas Klocek: "Freedom of speech is a one way street at DePaul and other universities"


This video is from an October 16 Republican Jewish Coalition event that took place in Lincolnwood, IL. Although I was invited, I was unable to attend. Luckily, Grant Crowell of Walking Eagle Productions was there, and video taped Professor Klocek's speech.

The best part? Klocek remarking that one of the Muslim students, a member of the DePaul chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, commenting to him that "Israel was treating the Palestinian people--quote unquote--the same way the Nazis treated the Jews."

Klocek's riposte to the SJP member was that there was a "qualitative difference between the Israel Army targeting known terrorists who have killed their own people...and suicide bombers targeting beaches, cafes, and even Seder dinners, killing indiscriminately Israelis, both Jew and Arab alike." (Applause)

The since suspended professor gives an excellent summary of what has become known as the "Klocek Incident."

The speech is available here or here:

Real One is required.

Much has been seen in print and on the internet about Klocek. This is, I believe, the first video of Klocek to surface.

Towards the end of his speech, he made this statement: "Freedom of speech is a one way street at DePaul and other universities."

Sad, but true.
