Too much legal prep, hence robotic legalese answers rather than actually thinking on their feet. None of these woman are dummies irl and would definitely condemn unequivocally any form of antisemitism irl.

I’m not sure the bolded is true at all.

Agreed. Racism gets immediate condemnation. Antisemitism gets carefully and slowly analyzed for “context”.

+1000 - UN General Secretary said it best and they were also calling for his resignation

The UN is corrupt and needs to be dismantled.

And the clincher is, Jews are also a race. Antisemitism IS racism. But I guess we don’t fall under the victim umbrella there, huh? It’s really only POC that get to claim racism.

The irony is that Israel seems to be committing genocide against the Palestinians.

+1. Fired over a hypothetical. No one has called for genocide against Jewish people (one-sided interpretations of a chant don’t count). Meanwhile, the Palestinians are being eradicated (even from Southern Gaza where Israel told them to go).

That’s war.

Not genocide

War has been the pretext for the genocide that’s been occurring for 100+ years in the region, at the hands of Zionists before and since the creation of the State of Israel.

I mean, have a ball denying it. Nobody objective is buying it.

I thought the same. The hearings went badly but this resignation isn't going to help anything more broadly.

Agreed. Let’s unwind the clock and reverse every action they’ve taken for the last, let’s say, 80 years.

Of course you’re not cool with that idea because the U.N. was only legitimate when they were doing your bidding, right?

This is great and well-deserved.

I would imagine it’s somewhat protective against that civil rights lawsuit filed by UPenn students and the Dept of Ed investigations.

I would be shocked if Harvard and MIT followed suit. Honestly I don’t think this cancel culture encouraged by the right helps Jewish people.

The right is simply trying to stay in the game at all. The left, as show in that hearing, and through their actions, has been all about cancelling (successfully) the right. And I'm not even the right!

Remember when… Jews won’t replace is had “good people on both sides” and it was NBD.

Were those students of a particular school chanting that ugly phrase? No? Analogy fail.

As for Penn, like any other entity, how else can an organization be held accountable for incompetent leadership aside from hitting them where it counts.

Oh, did fail to condemn Israel’s genocide of Palestinians?

Tell us you have no idea what we are talking about without telling us you have no idea what we are talking about.

Probably a purple haired activist. I am amazed at the sheer lack of understanding of what the word genocide means.

Watching Harvard closely. Gay even tried to clarify her disastrous testimony by saying "my truth" wasn't clear enough. "My truth"!?!? Unfortunately she told the whole world she is a perfect example of identity politics and the failures of promoting mediocre people solely on identity grounds.

The “my truth” thing is a key aspect of where these presidents went wrong. They seem to think if they say it, it’s true. So they have unwarranted confidence that they will be able to establish ridiculously obvious double standards & nobody will notice.

When they testified you could see the puzzlement in their eyes when people dared to challenge them. It was like, “How dare you question me? Only rubes outside of my bubble don’t bow down to me.”

When you create an environment where all thought is tightly policed, eventually the thought police will come for you too.

The question was a simple one to answer. If a trap, it should have been an easy one to escape. “Calls for genocide would violate our code of conduct, yes.” Done and done.

Mixed feelings? Seriously??

Top universities across the U.S. have gone completely off the deep end with woke-ness.

Coming back to sanity is long overdue on campus.

Seems state schools have FAR more sane student bodies and faculties than the "elite" schools - which have finally been unmasked.
