    a simple Google search gives multiples articles confirming it.

    Then you can easily pick one and show me the evidence.

    Remember, this is your claim:

    It’s a well known fact that western universities have a left-leaning bias. And by extension, a pro-Hamas and/or pro-Palestine bias.

    So, pick the site which shows evidence for this claim. Quote the evidence.

    You haven’t been able to do so thus far.

    Also, it is a lie that I suggested a Google search was my criterion. Not one thing I said even implies it.

      It’s a well-known fact that the Earth is round and I can show you evidence with about two seconds of Googling.

      You established that a well-known fact like the Earth being round is easy to prove in mere seconds by Googling. I did exactly what you suggested and the search results are plentiful with links in the first page confirming that there’s a left-leaning bias in USA universities. In the suggested images they even list survey results showing most students lean left.

        Yes. With two seconds of Googling, I can show you evidence.

        Such as this:

        A planet is round because of gravity. A planet’s gravity pulls equally from all sides. Gravity pulls from the center to the edges like the spokes of a bicycle wheel. This makes the overall shape of a planet a sphere, which is a three-dimensional circle.

        You have shown me no evidence whatsoever. At this point, it’s clear it was just a lie.

            Nope. All that proves is that there are more left-wing people on university campuses. This was your claim:

            It’s a well known fact that western universities have a left-leaning bias. And by extension, a pro-Hamas and/or pro-Palestine bias.

            You said the universities, which indicates what is taught, not the people in those universities and what they believe.

            By the way, since I didn’t say it before, your implication that “Palestinian” and “Hamas” are synonymous is bigoted and if I see you say it again in this community, you will be taking a break for violating the rules.
