"Silencing of USC Valedictorian Sparks Cancel Culture Debate"

Asna Tabassum, a valedictorian at the University of Southern California, had her speech abruptly cancelled due to safety concerns after pro-Israel groups accused her of being sympathetic to Palestine. The decision has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that it represents a silencing of pro-Palestinian voices and a one-sided application of "cancel culture". The incident highlights the ongoing suppression of free speech and debate surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with pro-Israel voices attempting to label any pro-Palestinian speech as automatically antisemitic.
