*Not surprising that she could not easily and immediately answer the genocide question. The progressives can’t even define what a woman is!*
Lookey Lookey, the netanyahoo set up his own people! so, why aren’t the millionaire donors calling for his resignation!
Universities and their campuses became fascist dirty anti-Semitic trash can. Not strange…
Why is there this growing notion that America hates Jews? This is the biggest witch hunt in recent time. Nobody is hating on Jews, we welcome them here in America as we always have.
The two party system is messed up but all I’m saying is only one party here is being really anti Semitic
WHAT GENOCIDE ON JEWS?ARE YOU ALL FOR REAL? YOU’RE ALL INSANELY COGNITIVELY DISSONANT
Pathetic. It’s always funny to watch. Liberals claim such moral superiority, but it goes out the window every time.
Everybody knows how anti-Semitic black people are. And they’re not shy about saying it either. Unless of course they get in trouble.
Not that I want to enter American BS, I just want to clear something for myself –
Zionism is an extremist ideology – that’s UN’s opinion, not mine.
The Jews are currently commiting a genocide unseen since WWII – the count of only the “little future terrorist” killed since October is close to 8 000 people at this point (that’s near the total civilian casualties for 2y of Russia-Ukraine conflict).
So – what IS anti-semitism???
To say the Jews are extremely racist and are commiting genocide and must be stopped right now? (only US is ensuring the continuation of the slaughter)
To say that they’re doing EXACTLY what was done to them?
Because all of the above is simply the truth, nothing else.
If it was a white person nothing would be said 👊
To the Republicans and the Democrats, it shows you how fake selective outrage. There is no freedom of speech they just happen to be silent on the MIT situation. I wonder why
U.S politicians acting morally outraged at “calls for genocide” but completely silent for actual genocide.
Did u catch that Billionaire pushing for her resignation, money talks louder that’s why it’s hatred for some and not for others smh truth is hatred is hatred we are all human deserving of peace and a good life
anti-Zionism is a civic duty
Zionism=terrorism
USA is going down the drain with these people.
I don’t think she agrees with any type of hate expression towards the Jewish community but rather exploring a deeper meaning of the simplistic narrative we hear in the news which is Israel are the goodies and palestines the badies which is quite stupid the dispute has been going for centuries and despite of the atrocities the palestines pull off recently the problem they have is a much broader one
Put a white man in there and the school will improve
Respect for Harvard president for not buying there propaganda
USA is an occupied country by Isr
This is what happens when women are in charge, boy certainly not the Harvard of the past, wow have these universities gone downhill
SLAVERY!! Ignorance is Strength! TRUMP did worse … Free speech… Elite smirking is free speech unless you are a 16 white kid. Then you should be …
They shouldn’t have to step down. It’s free speech no one said they supported it but you taking someone’s free speech because your feelings are hurt is sad. You don’t think the person feelings are valid to express such things?! Doesn’t make it right but doesn’t make their expression wrong. America is soft af rn and it ain’t a good look. Crying about nothing for no reason.
No one’s buying the anti-semitic card anymore. Used to hide any criticism. 🤮🤮🤮
Don’t let Jews run you off, sister. Don’t even apologize. Jews tried to make Kyrie crawl last year over nothing. They don’t count
If she had replaced the word “Jews” with “blacks,” you can bet Gay’s answer would have been very, very different.
Being anti zionist or anti Israel is not antisemitism. Don’t let them frame it that way. Israel has so much control over what happens in the US is should strike fear in every American.
Who cares
Fire the smug witch!
Voltaire：If you want to know who rules over you, just look for who you are not allowed to criticize.🤣
And you guys at msnbc wonder why you have students screaming free Palestine
I wonder how this shaven headed black woman got the job ? 😂😂
I imagine theres plenty fat, black, transgender, blind wheelchair-bound hopefuls waiting in the wings
Get her out of there. The only people protecting her are just as bad as she is. God will handle her accordingly.
I am surprised by the comments. I was expecting you crazy tin foil hat wearing lefties to still defend her, the way you do joe o’biden. But it is still obvious, your comments do not go far enough. harvard is a corrupt organization, indoctrinating students into leftist ideology. Graduating radicals
This is so convoluted. Who is being anti-Semitic on Harvard campus and why does it even matter? What does it have to do with Harvard, I assume we’re talking about the current conflict in Israel. So, if you’re associating supporting Israel with being pro semitic or something, while they’re being violent against palestinians, what the h*** this is so convoluted and stupid, this is nothing, why are they attacking her? Who cares about her opinion? I seriously doubt every student takes this woman’s Opinion under consideration before they graduate and become an elitist cog in the current greed-fueled capitalist machine of oppression against the extreme poor.Why is she even in Congress talking at all? She’s a f****** University President who cares what her opinion on semitism is. If students on campus are persecuting jews then hold them accountable themselves.This looks like a witch Hunt obviously, and it’s being integrated by a female is no surprize.. Stop trying to cancel people. She doesn’t have to lose her job because she has her own d*** opinion. That’s called freedom of speech welcome to America. That’s not freedom of speech. I’ve got my rights and freedoms wrong, but that’s called freedom to be stupid. Really welcome to the real america.
I bet if she was asked that question about poc, she would have a different tune.
Calling for any genocide of any race is wrong.
What’s embarrassing is we losing our right to think differently, who give a f*** What billionaire think or what this congresswoman thinks
Thinking differently, get you fired now this is a joke… 😢 the us is turning back into its old ways of bigotry again 😂
Stop! Pressure is not growing!
Green Kat is a dope..
No one not jews, , not Christians, not Muslims. No one in America should ever be chastising or bullied because of their religion. That is ta not tamount to spitting on the graves of every soldier. Who ever ever fought for our values here.
SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on Harvard !!!
Black Americans are The Real Jews, lol Thank God these people Professional Lies are coming too an End.
Quit whining
They have to get rid of these democrats. Its time for a change.
just resign
Just have some dignity to resign. She’s not even qualified to be the president of the university if not the DEI designation.
Slack digger woke token 🗑. EviL punt
The zionist lobby is orchestrating this whole “antisemitism” charade to distract from their actual genocide in gaza
these are the sickos teaching your kids folks
WE DO NOT TOLERATE DISSENT YOU MUST RESIGN – pretty much every fascist ever
Is this due to the government equating Zionist with antisemitism?
Get rid of academic visas. I matriculated 50 years ago, black, midwestern U – Big Eight – back then. Who knew who was “jewish” and so what? I’m CATHOLIC, wanna smoke a BONG!? It ain’t that deep.
The only “jews” and/or “muslims” creating havoc consider themselves CITIZENS of somewhere else – yes, Israel too.
Suspend academic visas; send professors, et al HOME.
When you’re so hungry to hire an activist this is what you get. They really have lowered the standards.
Universities allow trans hate groups to speak at campuses because student groups want them there. It’s not just all on the university presidents.
I’ve bowled many games but mine didn’t have big glasses. So the RACE card is played. 🤮🤬
Looks like getting an Black female terminated from a job she plagiarized/lied to get and is unqualified to hold is not easy in 2023. Thank you Lester Holt for reporting.
If you dont agree you will feel consequences.. Why is it just one topic more imperative than any others..
If she were a white man plagiarist she’d have been fired instantaneously. But “Must defend diversity hire!”
More proof that these people run our country. While they hold hearings about Americans standing up to them
Trying to get a liberal to admit when they are wrong. Impossible.
Disgusting humans
Harvard hates Religious Jews. Cancel harvard
ANTISEMITISM ANTIBLACKINISIM USA Cops probing report that men brandished guns and hurled slurs at 3 Black women
December 13, 2023, 7:52 am A crime alert posted to the Ohio University website stated the incident started after three Black women heard two groups of men arguing and using racial epithets.
Ohio University police are investigating an incident in which a group of men allegedly followed three Black students, threatening them with handguns and hurling racial slurs at them.
A crime notice filed on the university’s website stated that three Black female students reported hearing two groups of men arguing near the Schoonover Center around 1:40 a.m. Sunday.
According to the alert, the female students overheard the guys using the N-word, which prompted one of the women to yell at the two groups, challenging their use of the slur.
While one of the groups left the area, police said the second group — three white males and one biracial or Black man — pursued the women, hurling racist epithets. Two of t
Harvard is a racist pos organization
Any one of you… who dare think, that its “ok” to debate, question, criticize or even compliment the “chosen people” in the wrong way…. deserve to be in jail for at least 5 years. They are “chosen” and YOU are NOT!! THEY ALONE hold the moral high ground on ALL things!! I cannot wait for the moment the Noahhide laws begin!!
They both should resign. What a disgrace!!
I am sick of this BS. The jewish lobby is so over playing their hand. People see it and aren’t sympathetic whatsoever.
Harvard is a fkup college if their president resigns.
In other news, Harvard found it logical to call for the genocide of black people.
You people must hate South Park
Those presidents are payed and sponsored by Qatar and Iran . Money below the table .
The first Major step is to stop Arab from sponsoring Academic institutes all over USA .
The Arabs has understood that the next generation of politics will come from major academic institutes and there is where the Arab aim their money and influence .
What you are seeing is dangerous to the US . Today it is Academic and tomorrow it is a political intervention .
Documentation that University president used the “N” word once 30 years ago and they are fired for hate speech. Record of University President condoning genocide of a complete race of people gets a pass.
Sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come.
I’m glad she’s not resigning and the college is supporting her ❤
Is this person related to Urkel?
😢
manufactured crisis to distract from the real genocide happening elsewhere
The board is not going to ask her to resign or fire her since she is a DEI (DEI: The new term for a token or quota employee) hire and they know they would be getting a “see you in court” letter from Ben Crump if they fired her no matter what the justifiable reason is.
We learned all we need to know when most of her “colleagues” want to keep her in place of authority. That tells me the ROT is DEEP in these “higher” education colleges.
Yes! Bye!
This is getting really stupid! You have a right to believe what you believe. To protest peacefully in support of what you believe. Nobody but nobody can tell you how or what to think, your thoughts and how you arrive at those thoughts are yours to keep, change or modify, choices you decide are right for you. No one can pass laws that regulate your thinking or freedom of speech! Too bad if it makes people uncomfortable while others are bombed into oblivion (8000 Children slaughtered). This privileged group is exercising their self anointed specialness to whine about being uncomfortable because the reality of Racism, Supremacist, Genocidal *ethno centric* practices are being carried out by their country which most of them hold dual citizenship in. Too bad if it make their lives difficult!
Considering Stefanik herself believes in antisemitic conspiracy theories, this is 100% political theatre to get the quotes they want, and she has ZERO real concern for the wellbeing of jews. She just wants to get good quotes for TV, and the university heads fell right into her trap.
How about the school should not be regulating speech at all?
Our Collages and universities are too far gone to save…
Is this person a trans?
Is this person a man?
Seriously, I cannot tell.
“You think calling for a genocide is considered harassment?”
“Depends, what did they do?” Is essentially what she’s saying.
The mainly stream media is & will eventually lose out to independent news media sources. Truth is being reported now.
Taking a black women position away!!! The left should be ashamed for themselves
Everything I’ve read about this woman she shows that to be a bigot, a racist fascist an non-American I hate monger and she’s after her own personal game not out of the school she stepped on her big mouth with her Bigfoot. She should be removed.
This diversity hire should have been fired already. What a disaster
Woke movement =Gestapo.
They didn’t want to say the obvious answer because that would mean they would have to punish the majority of their students for discrimination
Woke movement support HAMAS.
Absolute scum buckets. No University in the US will ever receive a single red cent from me. So sick of these deluded people at our universities.
“ALL OF THEM ARE JEWISH” – KANYE WEST
Its time for the Jeiouzs to start packing their bags. Its unfathomable that the whole god damned world has to deal with this every day. They refuse to let their lobbying ways and integrate to society. They have to go to Israel, all of them.
Diversity is our strength
No one under 40 is siding with these slimeball politicians, its all the boomers that can still use the internet but dont understand dishonest discourse
People are so afraid to say something politically incorrect that they literally won’t condemn genocide lol…
