The elites take care of their own. This is just a new example of something we have seen happen repeatedly.

Harvard Law Review Gives $65,000 Fellowship to Anti-Israel Student Charged With AssaultHarvard Law Review, which the federal Secretary of Education announced this week is the subject of a discrimination investigation, is awarding a $65,000 fellowship to the student who faced misdemeanor criminal charges for assaulting a Jewish student during an anti-Israel campus protest.Law student Ibrahim Bharmal, who pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor assault and battery charge, was ordered by a Suffolk County judge this week to complete an anger-management class and 80 hours of community service as a pre-trial diversion. The charge related to what a prosecutor described as “a hands-on assault and battery…a gang gathered around…actual interpersonal violence” against a Jewish Harvard Business School student during an anti-Israel protest on the Harvard campus on October 18, 2023. Bharmal’s lawyer, Monica Shah, has downplayed the severity of the interaction, telling the judge this week, “It was not hands-on. It involved a scarf, and there’s no physical injuries.”The event triggered a letter from prominent Harvard Business School alumni including Joanna Jacobson, Mitt Romney and Seth Klarman, that said, “The videos that have been made public, particularly the most recent violent assault of an Israeli student on the Harvard Business School campus, allow us all to see how Jewish and Israeli students are targets of threats and violence from groups of pro-Palestinian students.”Harvard Law Review’s website describes the fellowship by saying it “supports recent Harvard Law School graduates with a demonstrated interest in serving the public interest through their work and scholarship. It enables fellows to spend a year working in a public interest-related role at a government agency or nonprofit organization. Each fellow will receive a $65,000 stipend. At the end of the fellowship year, each fellow is expected to publish a piece of legal scholarship that draws on the fellow’s work during their fellowship year in the Law Review’s online Forum.”The “public interest-related role” for Bharmal is to be at the Los Angeles office of the California Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
