Pakistani news outlets carry identical slurs against "upper caste Hindus" justifying the 1971 Hindu genocide

Truschke is featured, since she's co-author, with @Penn's Prof. Soneji of "field manual" which:
-targets students for having "Hindu-centric ideas"

Criticism of India & Israel is fair game. But the collapsing of that criticism into grossly #AntiSemitic & #Hinduphobic tropes by radical activists is outrageous and must be condemned.
Instead, #DGH platforms the activists at an event supported by depts at dozens of schools.
