      Research needs money for happening. You need to pay researchers, structures, various staff. Even more so a fancy structure as MIT

      Israel (and American Zionists) have the power to cancel a sizeable amount of research contracts with MIT. (AIPAC shows how well organised they are, originally for defence from antisemitism, now for defence from… Palestine? I guess? 🤷‍♂️ )

      Then for MIT (that is a corporation like another) comes to damage control. On one hand PR, on the other money.

      MIT took the money, Stanford (in the case of DEI) took the PR.

      I am still 100% sure neither of the two can give a damn of Palestinians, Israel or DEI. It’s just MBA stuff 🤷‍♂️

      (I have my opinions on the situation in Palestine but I don’t want this post to be about that)
