Megha Vemuri called out MIT for having research ties with the Israeli army and "aiding and abetting" the country with its "assault on the Palestinian people."
Calling other people (all the more, a nation as a whole) names - is not critical thinking.
Presenting biased rhethorics (all the more, not in a neutral manner, but emotionally loaded claims) and ommitting any contradicting points - has nothing to do with critical thinking.
Opinions vs facts.
One-sided accusing vs rational thinking.

Yeah no. Calling Nazis Nazi is a perfectly rational take. One does not to condemn an active genocide “in a neutral manner,” neither do Nazis deserve neutrality.
They’re just here trolling. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. Israel’s finance minister said they intend to “entirely destroy” Gaza, and the English language has a word for “something you entirely destroy by fire”: it’s ‘holocaust’.
So, I think we should trigger this guy more by using the term in the original, objective sense:
This genocide, to which all current supporters of the Zionist state of Israel are party, is intentionally making a holocaust of Gaza.
ETA: Let the record reflect that the denial of any genocide when shown such irrefutable evidence, — whether the Holocaust against Poles, Jews and others of the 40s, or this genocide of Palestinians — makes you party to its crimes.
“We encourage students inquiry and critical thinking” “no not like that!”
