Slaughter in cold blood. Beheadings of babies. Torture. Rape as a weapon of war. All were part of Hamas’s genocidal attacks against Israeli Jews on October 7, 2023. This rampage, which took more Jewish lives in one day than on any other day since the Holocaust, should shock the conscience of any person who has a conscience. But what we see too often instead is a disgusting display of excuses, moral equivalence, and indifference in response to the gruesome violence that Jews, including so many defenseless women and girls, suffered on October 7th.
The heads of three leading universities – Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology – disgraced themselves and their universities during their testimony before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce on December 5th. Asked what their universities were doing to combat anti-Semitism on campus, they gave talking point answers full of fluff and no substance. Worse yet, rather than unequivocally condemn the pro-Hamas protests on campus calling for genocide of Jews and pledge to discipline the offenders, these university leaders tried to contextualize the hate speech.
In response to New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik’s question whether “calling for the genocide of Jews” is against the universities’ respective codes of conduct, the university presidents responded that it all depends on the context. And they tried to hide behind the First Amendment.
“It is a context-dependent decision,” University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill responded. Rep. Stefanik bluntly replied, “Calling for the genocide of Jews is dependent on the context? That is not bullying or harassment? This is the easiest question to answer ‘yes,’ Ms. Magill.”
Ms. Magill added that speech calling for genocide of Jews presented a complex question as to whether hate speech crosses over into incitement to violence that is not protected by the First Amendment. “The chanting, I think, calling for intifada, global revolution, [is] very disturbing,” Magill said during questioning. “I believe at minimum that is hateful speech that has been and should be condemned. Whether it rises to the level of incitement to violence under the policies that Penn and the city of Philadelphia follow, which are guided by the United States Constitution, I think is a much more difficult question. Incitement to violence is a very narrow category.”
Harvard President Claudine Gay responded, “When speech crosses into conduct, we take action.” She declared that Harvard embraces “a commitment to free expression – even views that are objectionable, offensive, hateful.”
MIT President Sally Kornbluth responded that such language would only be “investigated as harassment if pervasive and severe.” She said that MIT has a responsibility to “ensure that we protect speech and viewpoint diversity for everyone.”
Jewish students recounted their dreadful experiences on campus and their fears sparked by the pro-Hamas protests while the school administrators have sat on their hands.
“What is the administration doing? We’ve brought them policy violations, proof that they happen, and the student handbook that were explicitly violated,” Jewish Harvard Law student Jonathan Frieden said. “When they respond, if at all, responses are empty and meaningless responses such as, ‘We are aware of the situation.’”
The university presidents’ attempt to take refuge behind the First Amendment’s free speech protections when it comes to menacing rants against Jews is the height of hypocrisy. They have disciplined students and faculty for allegedly offensive comments that hurt the feelings of minority groups other than Jews without worrying about the First Amendment. Similarly, they have rallied around critical race theory and diversity, equity, and inclusion ideologies.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression’s and College Pulse’s fourth annual College Free Speech Rankings of the free speech cultures of 248 of America’s largest and most prestigious campuses placed Harvard at the bottom of the list. The University of Pennsylvania ranked as the second worst institution of higher learning in the free speech rankings. MIT did better but was still ranked pretty far down on the list –136th.
It is all well and good for the university presidents to have condemned Hamas’s attack, which took Ms. Gay days to do after a coalition of pro-Hamas students signed a letter claiming that the attack was all Israel’s fault. But the university presidents’ waffling on the question as to whether inflammatory calls on campus for genocide of Jews, which have led some Jewish students to hide their identities and stay away from class for fear of being attacked, should be a firing offense.
Of course, the universities’ despicable responses to the Jew-hatred on their campuses are not the only examples demonstrating moral cowardice or worse. We see this inexcusable behavior at the United Nations and within feminist organizations that have pushed for unquestioned belief in women’s claims of sexual assault, except when it comes to Jewish women and girls who were raped by the Hamas terrorists. We see it amongst pseudo-human rights groups, celebrities, left-leaning media, and government officials.
The Obamas are prime examples. Former President Barack Obama insisted in his usual outrageous fashion that “all of us are complicit to some degree” in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Michelle Obama had no problem condemning Boko Haram when their terrorists kidnapped 276 girls from a school in Nigeria. She even began a social media campaign on behalf of the girls. But, as reported by the DailyCaller, Michele Obama had nothing to say when an Israeli female official asked her “to condemn Hamas for its vicious attack on Israeli women including multiple rapes and murders in the October 7 massacre.”
“Never again” has turned into “never mind” as far as much of the world is concerned when it comes to responding to Hamas’s promised genocide of the Jewish people and its brutal rapes of Jewish women and girls.
These ” university presidents” should be arrested for impersonating a human being. They are shallow and showed their real core. They have been exposed as not worthy of respect.
They identify as academics therefore speaking nonsense is their normal.
And they’re cowards who are afraid of their own students. They support slavering anti white racists, Jew haters and tyrannical tranny’s over the overwhelming majority of Americans who hate those bigotries. Their motto is “woke Uber alles.” They’re contemptible scum but that goes without saying or writing.

Kornbluth says that in some cases calling for the extermination of Jews can be anti-Semitic. I’m curious to know when she thinks it isn’t.
It’s worth noting that all three bitches were smirking as they answered. (Bush43 was called “the smirking chimp”, yet his talent was more to kissing islamic & leftist ass.)
Their arrogant smirks said plenty. It said they can arrogantly cultivate mob hatred among their student body without fear of consequence.
This isn’t subjective; it’s objectively obvious who the evil jihadists are . . . so obvious, that only a University president could get it wrong.
Instilling herd-mentality is now the priority in higher learning, as three University reprobates made clear.
I’d say Magill and Kornbluth displayed smirks, and Gay displayed fake smiles intended to convey concern and a pleasant demeanor.
I wonder what these presidents would say about a student wearing a MAGA hat on campus while holding a sign that read “There was no Trump/Russia collusion and Hunter’s laptop was not Russian disinformation.”
Hate crime and death sentence.
I’m still wanting my, “From the River to the Sea, Israel will Be Free,” shirt. I’m also keen on a che shirt with the quote, “Americans are like women. You get a lot more out of them after you slap them around some.”
“ Barack Obama insisted in his usual outrageous fashion that “all of us are complicit to some degree” in the Israel-Hamas conflict.”
He’s right, assuming by “us” he means the leftist elites who make millions while being government employees all their lives.
Excellent point.
Jug-eared Barry was marinated in Marxist bullshit from birth.
His street-trash dad, his grandparents (whom he tossed under the bus), his hippie mom, Frank Marshall Davis, & Saul Alinsky all moulded him into the America-hating little bitch that he is today.
College taught him nothing useful, as his grades at Occidental testify to. (Useful knowledge of S.T.E.M. wasn’t his interest.)
The only S.T.E.M. Brokeback was ever interested in was Suck The Old Men at Turkish bath houses.
“Elderly men.” Curse the spell checker.
Bareback Hasbeen Osama is complicit, alright. Complicit in his support of Hamas and all other jihadist organizations and countries, both as former President and Hasbeen President.
These universities also welcomed Nazi propagandists to their campuses in the 1939s
Their “context” is that they feel (they feel everything and think nothing) Jews are too “white” (even those who aren’t- I’ve never seen anything but astonishment on the faces of wokelings when they’re informed that roughly half of Israeli Jews are Mizrahim of North African or Middle Eastern descent) too successful and unfashionable as a cause. That and the fact that they feel antisemitism is acceptable if its espoused by “Third World” peoples or rebadged as “Anti-Zionism”.
Michael Lerner, the Leftist pseudo-rabbi who grew a beard to impersonate a religious Jew, then shaved it off as an act of solidarity with “Palestinians” referred to “earned antisemitism”. If Jews are hated try (or even killed and persecuted by Muslims, Arabs, blacks or “progressives”, they must have done something to deserve it. It was bad enough this charlatan created a political cult that is a parody of Judaism (and became Hillary Clinton’s guru), his view has become dogma in large swath of the Democratic Party.
All true except that Mizrahi Jews are the ones who never left Israel and the ones who settled in the Near East and Northern Africa were the Sephardi. All Jews and Near East natives are white but stupid, ignorant, racist lefties think the swarthy ones aren’t.
I saw a video of a couple of arabic speaking Israelis walking the streets of some nordic city talking to muslims, and getting them to say what they really thought. The muslims thought the Israelis were arabic. Michael Lerner is such a disgusting poser. He should be given to boko haram.
This is what “Moderate N@zis” look like.
Absolutely. If they were on trial in a glass booth like Eichmann, they’d likewise claim that they’re just a cog in the machinery and had no antisemitic animus.
Ah, Eichman lying his ass off in sleazy desperation behind bulletproof glass and sweating out his impending execution. The good old days.
More like “transgender” n@zis, judging by the looks of that affirmative-action wasteoid University president.
N@zis were a mirror image of Communism☭, save for one aspect , . .
N@zis used street-trash thugs; Communists used state police.
The DNC use both. (I’d wager that if Chucky Schumer or Jerald Nadler come across a BLM or AntiFa thug, that they’ll thank them “for their service”.)
President Gay sure does look androgynous while Magill and Kornbluth are obvious diesel dykes.
The Nazis and Soviets both used street trash thugs and state police but they were mirror images, which makes the hatred between German socialists and communists so weird.
Chucky Schemer and Jerry Waddler have probably nominated Black Lies Murder Allfa for Congressional Awards.
The only reason woke university presidents might have for not opposing a call for Jewish genocide is that they support it. These awful women should be delivered into Gaza dressed in tar and feathers.
The irony is that the enabling bitches would only have to be delivered into Gaza.
After the rabid population got a hold of them, they’d WISH they’d been tarred & feathered, as that Italian pole dancer, Pippa Bacca found out the hard way. (Her trek to bond with Palestinians ended badly.)
Another reason is that they’re scared of their own students. I’m doubt Gay supports Jewish genocide but she definitely supports a Two State Catastrophe. Those Dump Truck Dykes, Magill and Kornbluth, definitely support Jewish genocide and would love to add the MAGA majority to their hit list.
Naked, they are slightly more attractive than goats.
Lefties like college presidents have a full lexicon of weasel words to get out of direct answers to difficult questions. “Troubling”, “problematic” “awareness”. But the most useful is “context”. After all, Ketanji Brown Jackson at her confirmation hearing said she couldn’t define “woman” “not in this context”.
They think they can escape the charge of lying by equivocating. The mask slips when you see where they equivocate. Genocide is evil … unless the victims are Jews. Rape is a crime … unless the victim is a Jew. Beheading is a horror … unless thew baby is a Jew.
None of these malignant narcissistic women would dare waffle if they were asked about genocide of blacks. But the Jews?
Meh.
It would have been priceless to see the reactions of those three women if Stefanik would have asked them if they would have regarded a group of students calling for the genocide of Palestinians the same way.
What else can be expected from three woman who run elite universities who were placed in these positions not by achievements or intelligence but by gender and race.
These moral relativists are cowards. As long as a harsh context does not apply to their situation they feel smugly safe applying it to others.
They’re definitely all cowards but I think Magill and Kornbluth actually support Jewish genocide by the Paleosimians of Hamas.
When did Spike Lee become President of Harvard? Or is that Steve Erkel?
A hundred million annual donor pulled funds yesterday and and wants Penn Prez Lez Magill to resign. Others are sure to follow suit.
Harvard Prez Mrs (she’s married to a man, although it looks like a marriage of convenience) Claudine Gay issued a “please let me keep my unearned job” fake apology to Congress yesterday. Billionaire Bill Ackman, a Harvard alumni who refuses to hire anti-Israel grads and donates a hundred million a year to the indoctrination “school,” said that Gay, Magill and Kornbluth are Diversity Equity and Inclusion hires who are unqualified for their jobs and need to resign.
MIT Prez, Diesel Dyke Sally Kornbluth, who obscenely enough seems to be a Jew based on her surname, also issued a phony apology to Congress. She apologized all right. She apologized for being caught out as a defender of the torture and horrific jihad genocide of civilian Jewish babies, toddlers, children, women men and the elderly by an organization on the State Department terrorist list. It takes an astronomical level of mayhem to make that list, seeing as how CAIR, the Muslim Student’s Union, Students for “Justice” in “Palestine” and at least a hundred other jihadist groups aren’t on it. After the House Committee on Education and the Workforce announced it would investigate the Jew hater schools and decide on what their punishment would be, the evil MIT Board issued a statement of support for their DEI Dyke in a show of Jew Hating defiance but that won’t last once the MIT donors start to withhold funds.
Just HER resigning won’t change the ideology that has infested Penn nor any of the others! The ONLY way to change the CULTURE of these “institutions” (that’s what we used to called the Hospitals that housed the insane) will be a COMPLETE destruction of the liber mindset and faculty! All the useless “studies” programs need to go – I’m sure the WORLD has enough “womynz studies” majors to fill all the needs! There should be ZERO tolerance for the hate speech that the left demands “context”! Also, Our Government needs to get out of the student extortion programs! If a college thinks a student is a good INVESTMENT then they should be willing to FINANCE that student’s education! Many changes are needed to return universities to places of “higher learning”!!
A Congressional letter was released that says all three Presidents should resign, and First Cuckold of Heels Up Harris, Doug Emhoff, also said so but nobody listens to those impotent gas bags.
University Presidents rarely resign under pressure and even more rarely are fired, so the parents who pay King’s ransoms for their spoiled brats to attend those over rated universities are probably stuck with those three cunts. I have no empathy for the parents who pay for their own flesh and blood to be indoctrinated in anti-white racism, Jew hatred, tranny tyranny, neo-Marxism and all the other “woke” filth churned out by so called educators. I do feel sorry for the decent parents and students who are appalled and fearful over the rampant Jew hatred and “woke” agendas at those Satanic assembly lines.
And even if any of those three snatches were to leave, their replacements would just be other interchangeable DEI hires.
America is screwed, and has been since 2020.
You’re the liar who can’t cite a single example of Israel lying and the nuking of Japan was ABSOLUTELY necessary to end WWII, as Emperor Hirohito attested. The Japanese military refused to surrender after the first bomb was dropped and then again after the second. As Japan’s Supreme Military Commander, Emperor Hirohito had to override them and accept a nearly unconditional surrender, the one condition being that he remain Emperor, which was granted.
There is no Gaza war. Gaza is a judenrein part of Israel and a campaign to destroy a jihadist terrorist organization from power is not a war.
Your “secret document” nonsense is bullshit. Even before “Operation Olympic” and “Operation Downfall” were scheduled to invade the Japanese islands, where the Japanese had vowed to fight to the last man, woman and child, the U.S. Army Service Forces released a document, “Redeployment of the United States Army after the Defeat of Germany” which predicted 836,000 army casualties alone, with varying figures of tens of thousands of Navy and Marines casualties, which were backed up by all the top generals.
And the Soviets were a joke and didn’t contribute to Imperial Japan’s defeat at all. In fact, the Japanese had kicked Russian asses from the 19th century through WWII.
Alperovitz is a blatant lying commie and the Atomic bombing of Japan was not only vital but it had absolutely nothing to do with your precious Soviet Union.
You write from utter ignorance and deceit and are obviously a Commie and jihadi lover. Too bad for you the Soviet Union collapsed in failure and America will never become a socialist or communist country, not that those fantasies are even real sociopolitical systems rather than impossible and contradictory nonsense designed to create two class societies of lords and serfs.
Go suck your traitor fellow traveler, John Brennan’s, wee willy you scumbag. He’s a communist Moslem so you’ll get double flavor when you gargle and swallow.

The President of the University of Pennsylvania has resigned. I think the President of MIT will soon resign.
But the odds are very strong that Claudine Gay will not. Instead she will blame her troubles on the Jews – just as Hamas does – bringing more clarity to the ethnic and racist differences which underlie world conflict..
Harvard President Claudine Gay was chosen by an inside-the-institution “search” committee headed by the Overseers’ Board member Amy Pritzger, herself Jewish, sister of Illinois Governor Pritzger. Just days before the Oct 7 terror attack by Hamas into Israel, President Biden sent Ms Pritzger on a mission to Ukraine to help them with “commerce” issues there. Haven’t heard a peep from Pritzger since then about her mission in Ukraine nor anything about her prize Harvard executive’s sorry performance before the congressional committee last week. What a joke! Wonder if they’ll get the immediate past pres Laurence Bacow back in the saddle as interim pres until they can find another AA (double digit AA as both black and female) to serve in that position. Haven’t seen any Bacow public comments either about Claudine’s testimony. BTW he’s also Jewish.
BS, japan didn’t surrender until the second atomic bomb was dropped, and their military tried to stop that from happening. They wanted to capture and Isolate Hirohito to keep him from surrendering, but his broadcast shut them down. Continuing the war would have starved millions of Japanese. Millions would have starved anyway had MacArthur not used the mountains of food and supplies amassed for the invasion to feed them. That’s why the Japanese loved MacArthur so much.
As an aside, after the surrender the soviets showed up with plans to divide Japan between us. MacArthur told them to get lost, we weren’t dividing anything with them. Truman tried to order him to go along with it and he told Truman that he had a million and a half US troops on Japan that would say otherwise. That’s the only reason Japan wasn’t split like Germany. That’s another reason the Japanese loved MacArthur.
All true and all pertinent.
Is it wrong to like elderly meat?
Not for women. 🙂 Not even for gay men. But for closet case Presidents like Bareback? Yes.
Google “Helen Lewis” or “Jason Kilborn” and find out what you can’t say about transgenders or Blacks. Nobody stops to put any of that into context.
How about totally defunding these Leftists Run Campuses instead and used the money for Homeless Americans
Look at their faces and their comments, they are caught red handed in their antisemetism.
