If you have followed what has been happening at MIT for the last two years, you’ll find this easy to believe.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
‘Eliminate the Jew’: MIT Lab Fired Researcher Because He Is Jewish, Lawsuit ClaimsA Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher endured anti-Semitic harassment for months until he was ultimately fired “because he is Jewish and Israeli,” according to a lawsuit against the elite university.During the fall 2024 semester, students working alongside the Israeli postdoctoral associate, referred to in the complaint as “John Doe,” “began tormenting and shunning him based on his Jewish and Israeli identity,” and treated him “like a pariah, spewing anti-Semitic slurs and refusing to acknowledge his presence,” according to the complaint filed Wednesday.Doe’s supervising professor never intervened. Instead, he “repeatedly vilified [Doe] in front of students for being Israeli and Jewish,” kicked him out of the lab, gave him menial tasks, and eventually terminated his contract. Doe said administrators ignored his pleas for help.The new claims were included in an amended complaint filed by the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law Wednesday morning. They build on a lawsuit the center filed in June alleging Jewish and Israeli MIT students have “experienced severe and pervasive harassment and discrimination,” which university administrators have “knowingly failed” to address. It also accused MIT of declining to investigate linguistics professor Michel DeGraff, who repeatedly harassed a Jewish student until he dropped out of school and an instructor who served in the Israel Defense Forces.MIT spokeswoman Kimberly Allen said the university hasn’t “received the amended complaint, but MIT will vigorously defend itself in court.”The claims add to accusations the elite research university has failed to curb campus anti-Semitism. The House Education and Workforce Committee began investigating MIT after hearing complaints that anti-Israel demonstrators urinated on the campus Hillel building, harassed Jewish students, and called for an intifada.
