Harvard became directly implicated on Oct. 8, 2023, when the Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee issued a statement endorsed by more than 30 student groups that asserted “the Israeli regime” was “entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.” Students for Justice in Palestine declared Oct. 12 a “day of resistance” and had a “toolkit” ready for the encampments and demonstrations that spread beyond campus. SJP declared that Palestinian students were “PART of this movement, not in solidarity with this movement.” In 2001 there were no such support groups for Islamists at Harvard.
Harvard was a soft target for foreign penetration, having developed an adversarial relationship to the American government and increasingly to the country itself. Veterans of the antiwar movement banished the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps from Harvard in the 1970s and kept it off campus for 40 years. When memories of Vietnam faded, the military’s exclusion of open homosexuals became the high-minded excuse for shutting out recruiters—but not government funding. This selective antigovernment policy was reflected in the curriculum, which took an increasingly critical approach to America and Western civilization.
All these demonstrators lacked a common cause until they united around the handiest target in the history of civilization under the guise of liberating the Palestinians. Students who had been kept from marching for their country and warned against insulting every other minority jumped at the chance to attack a politically approved target. In a letter to the Harvard community, President Alan Garber acknowledges valid concerns about rising antisemitism and pledges that Harvard will continue to fight “hate” with the urgency it demands and federal law requires. Harvard’s record provides ample evidence against this claim. Campus coalitions for jihad count on liberal administrators to accommodate their assault.
The most useful of many political functions of anti-Zionism—as with antisemitism before Jews returned to their homeland—is building coalitions of grievance and blame against a small nation with a universally inflated and mostly negative image. This galvanizing enmity has united the pan-Arab and Islamist alliance against Israel since 1948. It powered the red-green coalition at the United Nations and seeds anti-Israel campus coalitions that are anti-American in all but name. Attacking only the Jews—now only Israel—is its key to becoming the world’s most powerful antidemocratic ideology.
Well, you’ve told us that Harvard is for the smartest people on the planet our whole lives. If this is what the elite Ivy League thinkers are thinking, maybe they are right
Wisse has advocated for traditional marriage and gender roles, criticized Jewish involvement in communism, and discussed Jewish culpability in crimes committed under communist regimes. Wisse’s criticism of the women’s liberation movement as a form of neo-Marxism has been extensively cited by critics of radical feminist politics.
Lol
Wisse has been criticized for writing that Palestinians are “people who breed and bleed and advertise their misery”.
In September 2010, in the midst of Harvard University’s decision to cancel a speech by Marty Peretz after he wrote “Muslim life is cheap, especially to other Muslims”
Oh my god, it keeps getting worse
Weird they’d be given an op-ed.

Lmao, the most elite university is harbouring “leftists” and radical rightists of [bad religion] at the same time? Conservatives are so fucking asinine
Throwback to this banger from Newt Gingrich:
I am convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time [my grandchildren are] my age they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American.
Also why would “radical Islamists” run a secular atheist country lmao. Incoherent nonsense.
Newt Gingrich just strung words together and repeated them aggressively like a fucked up racist version of Pontypool
His incoherent rambling isn’t meant to have a cogent message, it’s just trying to inspire fear
secular, athiest, radical, islamist
Everyone who is an Other must be working together to bring down True Americans, as the Other does not exist as differing ideologies but rather as cartoon villains that hate True Americans for being the main character heroes.
Newt Gingrich got turned into a newt.
Newt was probably referring to the Dagestani wrestling phenoms taking over the UFC.
Idk is this doing anything for anyone?
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever read lmaoo
Judeo-Bolshievism reskinned

Bad things I don’t like are all the same

Conan O’Brien? Hamas
T.S. Eliot? Hamas
Rashida Jones? Hamas

Somehow with all the collected brain power of an internet-enabled conspiracy obsession the cranks these days have none of the imaginative pizzazz of their forebears.

How is this a “political function”? Like, what are the nefarious or duplicitous “coalitions of grievance” (words of the deranged) built for? If they aren’t built for such ulterior motives, then what are you even complaining about? That people who the zionists keep bombing have decided to put aside their differences for a second to fight back?
If you’re so opposed to the “coalitions of grievance”, maybe try spreading less grievance around the world.

Yeah no shit sherlock. Fucking bugers will connect a 2 piece puzzle and when it forms a picture it blows their mind. I swear to God Yankees when they discover that making 2 trillion enemies has consequences.
Arab and Islamist alliance against Israel since 1948
Oh, did something happen around then?
I hope it’s true.
