More than 1,600 Jewish Harvard alumni demand a crack down on anti-Semitism

"Anti-Semitism is a self-loathing of one's humanity and a cancer of the soul"--Rob Hoey

It's unpardonable to see the number of America's school administrators who either support anti-Semitic demonstrations on their campus, or simply make excuses or say nothing about them. A large number of Jewish alumni from Harvard University are fed up and are pushing back.

Over 1,600 members of the Harvard College Jewish Alumni Association (HCJAA) have signed an open letter condemning pro-Hamas, anti-Semitic protests at the school amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. 

The group was founded after the horrific October 7 sneak attacks in Israel that initially killed 1,200 Israelis, mainly civilians. Hamas terrorists shot, mutilated, raped, burned and tortured men, women, and children in the largest massacre of unarmed Jewish people in one day since the Holocaust.

Many of the women and girls who were so brutally raped could not have their legs straightened for their burials.  

"These horrific events were met with acclaim by over thirty Harvard student groups, who called the intentional slaughter of civilians ‘justified’ and claimed that Israel was ‘solely responsible.’ This deluded romanticization of violence has been matched by calls for more violence and the obliteration of the state of Israel ‘by any means necessary,’" the group's open letter states.

The alumni blasted Harvard for saying nothing, simply remaining silent, during the anti-Semitic protests. "We never thought that, at Harvard College, we would have to argue the point that terrorism against civilians demands immediate and unequivocal condemnation," they wrote to President Claudine Gay and Dean of Harvard College Rakesh Khurana. "We never thought we would have to argue for recognition of our own humanity."

Harvard was roundly criticized after 34 student organizations signed a statement by the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups. These Islamists blamed the "Israeli regime" for "all unfolding violence" in the hours after the sneak attack on October 7.

President Gay released a short message days after the massacre, claiming that she condemns Hamas' attacks, but carefully didn't actually denounce the student groups' Jew-hating opinion. 

Claudine Gay [she, it]

But Gay was pressured by people who believe that there's something wrong about killing people and she has since announced the creation of an advisory counsel to combat antisemitism on Harvard's campus.

How about just kicking them out of Harvard.

In a letter to members of the Harvard Community on Thursday, Gay reaffirmed Harvard's commitment to "protecting all members of our community from harassment and marginalization." 

"Let me reiterate what I and other Harvard leaders have said previously: Antisemitism has no place at Harvard. While confronting any form of hatred is daunting, the challenges we face tackling anti-Semitism are made all the more so by its pernicious nature and deep historical roots," Gay wrote. "But we are committed to doing the hard work to address this scourge."

But she's probably just kidding.

The attack on Israelis isn't just an attack on Jewish people; it's an attack on our humanity. And it isn't just about anti-Semitism, it's also an attack on the values of the West. If you don't think non-Jews have nothing to fear, you might read a history book about Islamic conquests, and Islamic books that speak about a world caliphate.
