PSU professor placed on leave after ‘I am Hamas … we’re all Hamas’ commentA Portland State University professor has been placed on leave and is under investigation after a short video clip circulated on social media of her saying ‘I am Hamas … we’re all Hamas” at an off-campus rally.The professor of Arabic language and literature was placed on leave on Friday, according to a June 6 statement from the university’s President Ann Cudd.“PSU stands unequivocally against antisemitism, terrorism, and hate of any kind, including the statements made in this video. … The statements made in this video are absolutely unacceptable,” Cudd stated.“PSU is conducting an investigation of this incident and the faculty member involved has been placed on administrative leave.”Cudd does not identify the scholar by name but The Oregonian and KOIN Portland both identified her as Professor Yasmeen Hanoosh of the Department of World Languages and Literatures.Hanoosh did not respond to a request for comment this week and PSU’s media relations department declined to comment to The College Fix.In the six-second clip posted on several pro-Israel social media accounts, Hanoosh is seen attending a June 2 rally being interviewed by a man whose face is blurred and identity unknown.“You know Hamas?” the man asks.“I am Hamas,” she responds.“Great, what was the plan for Hamas?” he asks.“We’re all Hamas,” she adds, pointing to the crowd behind her. After that the video snippet ends.
