🚨 BREAKING: Harvard Just Released its Final Report on Antisemitism and Anti-Israel Bias.
It’s 300+ pages and pretty devastating to read.
I thought I knew what was going on at Harvard, but even I wasn't prepared for this.
Let's break down the most shocking parts🧵
1/
A Jewish student was told they couldn’t share the story of their Holocaust-survivor grandfather’s rescue efforts because he helped Jews reach British Mandate Palestine.
Organizers said it was “not tasteful” and “inherently one-sided” because it mentioned Israel.
2/
Many Jewish and Israeli students were told their presence was offensive.
Some were asked to denounce Israel to be considered “one of the good ones.”
This came from every part of campus including peers, instructors, and faculty.
3/
Jewish students on academic trips were told their “Jewish tradition had become indistinct from a settler-colonial project.”
Some were told they shared guilt for "atrocities" committed by Israel.
4/
After Oct 7, Jewish students faced an avalanche of hatred on anonymous apps.
This digital harassment contributed heavily to a climate of fear and isolation.
Posts saying “Israel deserved it” were upvoted.
“It was surprising to see educated people post such horrible things”
5/
Some students posted images reading “Decolonization is not a metaphor” with blood dripping from the text labeled as Jewish blood.
Other posts regularly used terms like “Israeli scum” and “Zionist dirtbags.”
6/
Israeli students had it particularly hard. Many avoided certain degree programs, courses, and class discussions because of antisemitic hostility.
One said they felt every comment was filtered through: “The Israeli is speaking.”
7/
One administrator told a Jewish student they were in “a whole world of trouble” for deleting horrifically offensive antisemitic posts from a group chat.
8/
At a Harvard Law event for the families of the hostages, Harvard chose to move the Jewish students for safety reasons while protestors roamed around freely.
“They walk around like they own the place.”
9/
As we well know, chants like “Globalize the Intifada” were widespread on campus.
Many Israeli students on campus survived the Second Intifada and said that hearing it chanted daily was traumatizing.
Anyone who spent time in Israel during that period knows what they mean.
10/
At a Harvard’s Center for Middle Eastern Studies event in Harvard Divinity School, Oct 7 was described as an attack on “Israeli Jewish settlements.” in an effort to dehumanize the victims and erase the civilian massacre that took place.
11/
At the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Healths "Palestine Program", Israel was portrayed as existing only to oppress Palestinians.
When Jewish students raised concerns, they were asked, “Who is more marginalized, Jews or Palestinians?”
12/
In a university-wide survey, most respondents said they do not feel safe expressing their political views.
They feared academic or professional consequences.
Some shocking stats from Jewish students. 👇
13/
The rest of the report continues in much the same vein, though it places significant emphasis on anti-Muslim hate which I found odd, given that a separate report was commissioned to address that.
14/
This report is a damning indictment of the most prestigious university in America.
That it took Trump getting elected to force change is an embarrassment.
That the president quit because she couldn’t say calling for genocide is wrong is shameful.
15/
Can anyone seriously imagine Harvard treating any other minority the way it treated Jews over the past year and a half?
The utter disdain and complete disregard for their well-being is visible on nearly every page of this report.
16/
I'm not optimistic that this report will change anything.
But it guess it's a start.
Here's the full report:

Harvard's endowment is sitting at over 50 billion dollars.
It is completely tax-free.
Why are U.S. taxpayers subsidizing this insanity?
Here's a little chart I made with Chatgpt so you can picture how much money they really have:
Unbelievable.
I'd also like to mention that Harvard has recently been accused of collaborating with a CCP paramilitary organization that has actually committed genocide.
There were no protests on campus.
Shabbos Kestenbaum has been at the forefront of this fight since day 1.
He has been fighting an uphill battle against people who were telling him that these problems didn't even exist.
Harvard must be brought to justice.
