Harvard Student Calls Out The Left's Failure To Support Jews: 'I Will Never Vote For Them Again'

  Analyzing America

“My family’s originally from Germany. They survived Kristallnacht. They know exactly how the Holocaust happened,” he continued. “It happened with the words. That’s how it first started, and we are seeing that those words and violent rhetoric and we are seeing the total moral abdication of universities, those who are supposed to be the arbiters of morality and values in our society betray us.”


"Ivy League presidents testified before Congress about the surge of antisemitism on their campuses, prompting outrage from Jewish students, one of whom called for the removal of Harvard President Claudine Gay.

"Some students and representatives expressed concerns over university leaders’ responses to rising antisemitism, particularly regarding calls for the genocide of Jews.

"Students and representatives criticized the lack of condemnation and appropriate action.

“ 'This was a softball question of ‘do you condemn the rising rhetoric and violence against Jewish students?’ And none of them would condemn it,” Harvard graduate student Shabbos Kestenbaum said.

“ 'If Claudine Gay had a heart, she would resign, and if the Harvard Board of Trustees had a brain, they would fire her.”

“ 'She’s an absolute disgrace to this university,” he added.

“ 'She has let down Jewish students repeatedly, and Harvard is simply not a safe place for Jewish students anymore. There is a moral rot at the center of all of these Ivy League universities.”

"Rep. Elise Stefanik questioned Harvard president Claudine Gay on the university’s discipline for students pushing for “Intifada.” . .  .

Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest - American Thinker    "Watching Congresswoman Elise Stefanik’s questioning of the presidents of MIT, Harvard, and the University of Pennsylvania may have been eye-opening for many, but for those of us who have been paying attention, it wasn’t. Their answers were dumb and once the full extent of their discriminatory policies are exposed in private litigation and Title VI federal and congressional investigations, it will be clear why they answered as they did, hoping to avoid the scrutiny they deserve. Even dumber are the students being taught at these and most of our colleges and universities. Dumbest are the boards which have for the past decades ignored the policies which have led to this, a clear violation of their fiduciary responsibilities to these institutions which have been rotted out under their watch.

Good luck finding “good teachers” with the educators stacked from top to bottom not on merit but on identarian bases. Choosing teachers on such bases isn’t the end of it. Admissions are also being made using identarian standards, and jiggering has consequences.

I can see all this being the root and foundation of Antifa. What intelligence have you seen manifested in anything Antifa ever did or chanted? TD

Front-page anti-Israel animus at The Washington Post - American Thinker  "It was telling, and not unexpected, to see the front-page, above-the-fold placement of the Washington Post article “Young Palestinians describe harsh treatment in Israeli jails” (12/04/23) describing alleged Israeli mistreatment of Palestinian prisoners.  With the origin of the recent Israeli/Palestinian war being the broken ceasefire and subsequent barbaric massacre by Hamas of 1,200 innocent Israeli civilians from infants to the aged, along with the taking of 240 hostages, also from infants to the aged, it wasn’t surprising to see The Washington Post have an article sympathetic to the initiators of the massacre — the Hamas-led Palestinians.  With the apparent end of what amounted to an exchange of innocent Israeli hostages with Palestinian criminals, the Post’s interest was to highlight alleged trauma that the Palestinian prisoners received rather than the Israeli hostages stolen from their homes and families.

"It is mind-blowing how the Washington Post can attempt to build a case critical of Israel for claims of, for example, occasional solitary confinement compared to Hamas gang-raping women, mutilation and dismemberment, and wholesale murder of Jewish civilians.  Hamas cut off the fingers and limbs of children in front of their parents, murdered parents in front of their children, gouged eyes out.  Does the Post really see an equivalence?

"The message of the article both in content and placement is clear.  The Washington Post has an anti-Israel, anti-Jewish animus. . . ."

If only the Israeli hostages — tortured, starved, dismembered, raped, and murdered — had a fraction of such rights.
