The deans of three of America’s most important universities shocked the world on Tuesday the 5th by refusing to clearly and categorically classify the requirements “Genocide of the Jews” or a new one “Intifada” (“riot” in Arabic) were classified as “harassment” and subject to investigation and punishment.
Mary Elizabeth “Liz” Magill (Photo), Rector of University of Pennsylvania (Penn), Claudine GayRector of Harvard UniversityIt is Sally KornbluthRector of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)were heard at a hearing in the US Congress.
Their evasive statements condemning hate speech against Jews at the universities they lead have sparked shock and outrage and raised questions about how Jewish and Israeli students are protected and respected at America’s leading higher education institutions.
“It’s a decision that depends on the context,” Liz Magill said with an enigmatic smile as she responded to the Republican congresswoman Elise Stefanik. “Does the call for genocide against the Jews depend on the context? Isn’t it bullying or harassment? That’s the easiest question there is to answer “yes” or “no”, ma’am. Magill,” the deputy replied.
Responding to the same question, Harvard Dean Claudine Gay said, “When speech becomes action, we take action.” MIT Dean Sally Kornbluth said there would only be an investigation into harassment “if it is persistent and severe.” At most, they admit that antiSemitism is indeed a problem at universities and that it has gotten worse in recent weeks.
🚨🚨🚨Presidents of @Harvard @WITH And @Penn Refuse to say whether “calling for the genocide of the Jews” constitutes bullying and harassment under their codes of conduct. Even if I go so far as to say that it needs to be “put into action” first. Like committing genocide.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND… pic.twitter.com/hUY3SgoOOi

They run institutions that are driven by subjective and imprecise concepts such as: B. are possessed “Microaggressions”, “unconscious prejudices” It is “emotional triggers”regularly used to instrumentalize ideological patrols and restrict freedom of expression, but when the victims are Jews, hate speech is put into perspective, “needs context” and should only be restricted if it turns into action.
Should Jews passively wait for “action” while activists chant antiSemitic slogans? In what context would calling for “genocide of Jews” or a new “Intifada,” an Arabic term for Palestinian attacks on Israelis, not be hate speech, bullying, or harassment?
The double standards of judgment and the inhumane way Jews are treated by Western progressive elites were clearly explained in this session, in which the presidents of institutions that form the next world leaders were unable to even do this kind of thing The outcry at the demonstrations taking place in these institutions was perceived as threats and embarrassment for students of Jewish origin who refuse to take action.
Strange times when everything is “hate speech,” but hate speech.
