Harvard Condemns Antisemitic Cartoon Shared by Student and Faculty Groups
“The image was removed and the student and faculty groups apologized, but the post prompted a storm of criticism that Harvard isn’t doing enough to protect its Jewish community.”
The people at Harvard who are doing this are ruining the school’s reputation. Does anyone at Harvard realize this?
The Associated Press reports, via the Times of Israel:
Harvard condemns student and faculty groups for posting antisemitic cartoon
Harvard University has condemned what it called a “flagrantly antisemitic cartoon” that an undergraduate group posted on social media over the weekend. It also appeared on the Instagram account of Harvard Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine.
Copied from a newsletter published by students in the US Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, the image features a Black man and an Arab man with nooses around their necks, held by a hand imprinted with the Star of David that has a dollar sign in the middle of the star.
The image was removed and the student and faculty groups apologized, but the post prompted a storm of criticism that Harvard isn’t doing enough to protect its Jewish community.
“Perpetuating vile and hateful antisemitic tropes, or otherwise engaging in inflammatory rhetoric or sharing images that demean people on the basis of their identity, is precisely the opposite of what this moment demands of us,” Alan Garber, Harvard’s interim president, said in a letter Monday to the school community.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee and the African American Resistance Organization took responsibility for what they acknowledged is a “harmful antisemitic trope.” The image was copied from a Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee newsletter and included in an infographic urging Black and Arab people to unite in protest of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians.
This was posted today by ‘Harvard faculty and staff for justice in Palestine.’ The cartoon is despicably, inarguably antisemitic. Is there no limit? pic.twitter.com/maMYwXJ7rz

they wouldnt apologize

Oh yeah, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Of all the lefty agitator groups of the era (SDS et al), at least in the Boston area, these clowns had the reputation of being the MOST violent to anyone opposing them.
How did that meme go?
“You never ask a woman her age. a man his salary, or a Harvard student what his grandfather’s rank in the SS was.”
Whatever happened to the black harvard DEI officer accused of plagiarism?
Sherri Charleston 40 instances of plagiarism in her 2009 Ph. D. dissertation and in a 2014 peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Negro Education. DEI/CRT is such a fraud.
