One of Israel's richest men and his wife stepped down from a Harvard board, saying their faith in the school's leadership had been 'broken' over its response to the Hamas attacks

 Israeli Billionaire Quits Harvard Board Over Response to Hamas Attacks (businessinsider.com)


"An Israeli billionaire businessman and his wife stepped down from their positions on a Harvard University board over the school's response to the Hamas terror attacks on Israel.

"Idan Ofer, who owns Quantum Pacific Group, is the world's 81st-richest person, with a net worth of $19.9 billion, per estimates by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

"He's the second-richest person from Israel, per Bloomberg's estimates, behind his brother Eyal Ofer, who is worth around $21.4 billion. Bloomberg's Billionaires Index lists Eyal Ofer as being from Monaco, though he was born in Israel.

"Idan Ofer and his wife, Batia Ofer, sat on the executive board of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. They funded a fellowship for Israeli and Palestinian students to study at the school and a building named after them opened on campus in 2017.

"But the Ofers are now no longer listed as members of the board on the school's website. They also withdrew a multi-million dollar donation that they planned to make, Hebrew-language news site The Marker reported." . . .

The Nazis are winning -Don Surber, Substack   Palestinian terrorists gang raping, beheading and burning Jews alive shocked many people in the world into finally supporting Israel.

"But socialists and Muslims continue to let their hatred for Jews shine through. The National Post in Canada was appalled by Justin Castreau’s pasty face response to the rallies supporting gang rape, beheading and burning people alive.

"The Post’s Tristin Hopper wrote, “In sharp contrast to the Freedom Convoy demonstrations last year, many of these pro-Hamas rallies are occurring without so much as an official condemnation from local authorities. Notable exceptions to this came from Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, who called a pro-Palestinian rally deplorable, and Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim, who denounced rallies that celebrate terrorism.”

"We are in a sad world where newspapers have to praise people who state the obvious: terrorism is evil. Welcome to the 21st century.

"But what does one expect when students are taught about Hiroshima and Nagasaki but not about Pearl Harbor? What do we expect when the liberals brand any Republican president Hitler and his supporters Nazis, watering down their evil to just being a political disagreement? What do we expect when the UN panics about a climate genocide, as if Jews died in tanning beds and not ovens?

"Time and socialists have made the unacceptable acceptable again." . . .
