New Appointee to Harvard Anti-Semitism Task Force Called Israel a ‘Regime of Apartheid’

As we and many others have pointed out, getting rid of Claudine Gay does not solve the bigger problems at Harvard.

Harvard Anti-Semitism Task Force Member Called Israel a ‘Regime of Apartheid’
Harvard University’s newest appointee to its anti-Semitism task force has called Israel an “apartheid regime” and defended disgraced former Harvard president Claudine Gay amid calls that she be fired for her failure to condemn anti-Semitic protesters at the school.
Interim Harvard president Alan Garber tapped Derek Penslar, a professor of Jewish history, to serve on the Presidential Task Force on Combating Anti-Semitism, created to identify “the root causes” of anti-Semitism at the Ivy League school.
Garber also announced a task force to address Islamophobia, though there appear to be far fewer cases of anti-Muslim bias at the university. In one case, the wife of a Harvard professor referred to a keffiyeh—a black-and-white checkered scarf embraced by pro-Palestinian protesters—as a “terrorist scarf.”
The Department of Education in November opened a civil rights probe into anti-Semitic incidents at the school, which included students calling for genocide against Jews. A day after Hamas’s terrorist attack, dozens of anti-Israel campus groups accused the Jewish state of provoking the violence. A group of Jewish students sued Harvard this month, claiming the school enables “Jew-bashing.” Two students said the school has allowed protesters chanting “glory to the martyrs” to protest inside the law school student lounge.
The task force is launching amid criticism of Gay for her refusal at a congressional hearing in November to condemn protesters who called for a Holocaust against Jews. Gay resigned this month following Washington Free Beacon reports that she plagiarized much of her academic research.

Self loathing jews like Derek Penslar are the useful idiots of islamofascit terrorists. Penslar would sell his own grandmother to hamas.
Imho people like Pendleton and Blinken and Sullivan see themselves as superior. I’m not so sure they hate themselves. I think they are a lot like people who rock climb without a safety rope. I think they are like the guy who built that Titan mini-sub. I think they are so sure of their righteousness that they truly believe that things like common sense and obvious lessons from history … do not apply to them. I think it’s a supreme arrogance.
Hubris.
Such hubris.
And absolutely nothing in this lifetime will convince them of their folly.
Penslar
Defund Harvard and ban foreign governments from contributing to any American institution of education.
So Harvard’s anti-Semitic task force is to be stacked with anti-Semites? Sounds like the sort of thing that fellow Schicklgruber would have done.
“Harvard President Emeritus Larry Summers took to social media over the weekend to condemn the university’s leadership for their pick to co-lead a new antisemitism task force at the institution, saying the selection has caused him to lose confidence in their ability to “maintain Harvard as a place where Jews and Israelis can flourish.”
