A prominent rabbi announced his resignation from Harvard's antisemitism board after the university's president offered what he described as "painfully inadequate testimony" on Capitol Hill this week.

Harvard President Dr. Claudine Gay was among university leaders called to testify in a hearing addressing the growing antisemitism that has taken place on college campuses since the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks against Israel. Gay, along with her counterparts at UPenn and MIT, failed to say whether calling for "intifada" or the genocide of Jews is against Harvard's code of conduct.

Rabbi David Wolpe, a visiting scholar at Harvard Divinity School, announced his exit from Harvard's antisemitism advisory committee, offering a "Hanukkah message" ahead of the Jewish holiday.

Yeah, well, she’s supposed to be the president of one of the highest educational institutions in America and she was just reading a lawyer written script and parroting what the other 2 were saying. If she really believed that “Calls for violence or genocide against the Jewish community, or any religious or ethnic group are vile, they have no place at Harvard, and those who threaten our Jewish students will be held to account” was their approach, why isn’t that what she said that at the hearing? BS backtracking. Facts is, while the world was watching she condoned calls for genocide of the Jews, if made “within context” and would only take action for “conducts”. That will be what everyone hears and her latest “statement” attempting to retract will be completely ignored. That was the point: appease those antisemitic Israel haters in public, try to ease the Jews in private. BS, we’re not gone take it anymore! Wrote that thinking in Twisted Sister’s voice 😁
It’s now sadly coming to the surface that the crème de la crème of education in America is becoming the crap de la crap. Ivy League education is now barely an education, elite universities are turning into s%$#holes. Why? Qatar’s investments are bearing fruits.
