UPenn donors cutting ties with the university due to anti-Semitism

Rogers Waters and UPenn President Liz Magill

Donors are no longer donating, not even a donut, to the University of Pennsylvania after the university president Liz Magill made squishy statements about the Hamasshole terrorist attacks on Israeli citizens on October 7th.

Hedge fund executive David Magerman and investor Jonathan Jacobson, have made reference to Magill's response late last month to the Palestine Writes festival to which the school played host.

Magerman tweeted:

“I am deeply ashamed of my association with the University of Pennsylvania. I refuse to donate another dollar to Penn. There is no action anyone at Penn can take to change that.”

And Jacobson wrote:

“Enough. It is time to reverse this trend and restore our ‘elite’ universities to the principles upon which they were founded: as places of inquiry, where lively debate, diversity of opinion and communication across lines of difference is not only cherished, but actually mandated."

Jacobson pledged a single dollar for every year Magill remains employed by the school.

Magill suddenly became the purveyor of free speech saying the university "fiercely support[s] the free exchange of ideas as central to our educational mission."

Exceptions do exist, however, when she tried to set a precedent by yanking tenure away from one of its own professors for her politically incorrect statements.

No, Magill draped herself in the mantle of free expression as the school played host over the weekend to the Palestine Writes festival, which included a gaggle of anti-Semites. Among them was the former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters, who has donned Nazi regalia and hung an inflatable pig adorned with a Jewish star from the rafters at his concerts.

Ironically, Waters worships pigs.

Magill said in her statement that "many have raised deep concerns" about the anti-Semitic views of some of the speakers, but failed to mention that she obviously shares them.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere on campus in Philadelphia is such that, in the past week, the university Chabad's sukkah and Hillel buildings were vandalized, and a swastika was found at a university building.

Why is it that the university supports free speech by anti-Semites but not by controversial tenured professors who they tried to fire?

Christopher Eisgruber, president of Princeton University pledged to "stand up against racism, wherever and whenever we encounter it," but kept his mouth shut when members of his own faculty welcomed an anti-Semite to campus. 

It's a waste of time to make this argument to Jew-haters. There's really no convincing them how evil they are because they never see themselves as such. If they can support Hamas after what they did, well there is nothing anyone can say.

Is the USA slowly becoming Nazi Germany of World War Two?

Comment, please.

Munich crowd protests anti-Semite Roger Waters concert

Holding "Munich is colorful" signs

Munich, Germany -- Pink Floyd performer Roger Waters was met by over 100 demonstrators Sunday night at his concert at Olympiahalle. They held signs supporting Israel and opposing Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and they also held Israeli and Ukrainian flags to the dismay of Waters, a proud, Jew-hating scumcrumpet.

“Our goal is to fly the flag – in the truest sense of the word,” Micky Wenngatz — a city councillor from the SPD Party and co-organizer of the protest — told local media outlets.

Waters is currently on tour of five German cities in the midst of his support of the BDS [Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, meant to destroy Israel's economy] in addition to his anti-Semitic tropes he has made in his concerts and on media.

The main speaker at the protest in front of the building was the head of the Munich's Jewish community, Charlotte Knobloch. She was quite vocal regarding her anger at the concert going ahead.

“Agitation against Jews clearly has a place in this country,” she said. “Today, this place is the Olympiahalle … Despite all the big words and good intentions, we stand here to protest against the appearance of an anti-Semitic arsonist.”

A number of Waters’ fans heckled Knobloch during her speech, with one man, who was either a Waters-loving anti-Semite or simply ignorant of his racism, displaying his intellect by repeatedly chanting the name “Roger Waters” over and over.

“Go inside and listen to him, if you love him so much,” Knobloch told him.

“There has been a dispute about this concert since October 2022,” said. “Since then, motions and headlines have been produced – to no avail. So here we are, protesting a concert that’s happening exactly how Waters wanted it to happen, with his constant hatred, with his attacks on Israel and with his lies and distortions.”

Rumor has it that Waters has a picture of Hitler on the ceiling over his bed. But it's just a rumor that I made up--pass it on.

The protest rally also had two Ukrainian Jewish refugees who fled the Russian attack on the city of Kharkiv for Germany last year. 

Waters also claimed that Russian fascist President Putin is “fighting fascism.” 

Last February Waters delivered a rambling speech to the UN Security Council at the behest of the Russian mission to the UN. In the Biden-ish utterances, he claimed to be speaking for the world's "voiceless majority" and denounced Ukraine's elected leaders as "provocateurs."

“We want to counter the lies with truth,” Yaroslav Mrzenov told the crowd, while his friend, Tamara Okhrimenko, warned that “these lies and this propaganda are killing people.”

Waters anti-Semitic tropes and outright statements dates back to 2011. Some of the things he has stated in the past are listed below:

In an August interview with World Beyond War, Waters continuously promoted anti-Semitic conspiracies and themes including that a nefarious “Israel lobby” prevented the election of Jeremy Corbyn in the UK rather than the voters who saw Corbyn as the racist POS he is.

When asked about the fighting between Israel and Gaza-based terrorist groups, Waters claimed the Israel thinks Jews are superior to everybody else on the planet, claiming, " . . . religious supremacy, the idea that the Jewish people are somehow superior to everybody else on the planet but particularly the Arabs, the Palestinian Arabs...the Israeli state who believe that the Jewish people are superior, more important than any of those people, those people’s lives are worthless.”

This, of course, is baseless and simply a made up anti-Semitic trope.

In July last year Waters appeared in a video interview with the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute where he demonized Zionists as "settler-colonialists" and incredibly claimed that Jews had no connection to the land of Israel, calling Zionists a "cabal," an anti-Semitic trope: “It’s about a bunch of Europeans back in the middle of the 19th century deciding that they were going to take over this piece of land, and kick out anybody that lived there and take it over for themselves and their own little cabal.”

It seems that Waters gets his history from the Palestinian Authority.

In May 2021, the idiot accused Israel of committing genocide and called the nation an "apartheid state," which is everything Israel is not. Over 21% of Israel's population is Arab and they have full citizenship rights and ten Arabs are in the government's knesset. On the other hand, no Israelis are allowed to live in so called Palestine, and of course there are no Jews in their terrorist-funding government.

This is what 10 miles of stupid looks like

In an April 2019 op-ed regarding Madonna’s performance in the Eurovision contest hosted by Israel, Waters wrote: “To perform in Israel is a lucrative gig but to do so serves to normalize the occupation, the apartheid, the ethnic cleansing, the incarceration of children, the slaughter of unarmed protesters … all that bad stuff.”

Show us where this is happening; I dare him to do that. There is no occupation as he calls it--the land of the Jews dates back to the Old Testament, long before Islam was invented by a Jew-hating leader who incorporated that hatred into his new religion. 

There is no apartheid on Israel's end of the deal; apartheid comes from across the border.

Ethnic cleansing? Are you kidding me? Buy a mirror.

The only "children" that get incarcerated are those caught having killed or tried to kill Israelis. Unlike the Hamassholes and other terrorist groups, the Jews don't kill children nor fire rockets at schools and public places, launching them from their mosques, knowing Israel won't shoot at their "religious" structures or schools, like they do.

The slaughter of unarmed protesters?

That seems to be a problem with Hamas et al. Just last month, a young mother and her two daughters were slaughtered in the Jordan Valley on their way to a Passover get-together. But leave it to Christiane Amanpour and CNN to categorize the slaughter of the three unarmed Jewish women as a "shootout." She just now apologized to the father/husband Rabbi Leo Dee for her "misstatement."

And you wonder why the news coming from the Crappy News Network is as trusted as Joe Biden's stories about Beau dying in Iraq and Hunter being the smartest guy he knows.

But I digress, as I am wont to do when hearing anti-Semitic lies.

Back in March, Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter called the prospect of Waters performing in the city “unspeakable” and “unbearable,” expressing the fear that “anti-Semitic slogans will be thrown around.” But the privately-run venue, the Olympiahalle would have faced breach of contract proceedings had it canceled the concert.

It seems like anti-Semitism and anti-white hatred has become the norm; the former being an old norm, while the latter is more recent. We all need to fight this bigotry and hatred in any reasonable way we can, but violence should only be a response in kind.
