    The current wave of virulent - and often violent - anti-Israel demonstrations in American and European cities and campuses is in no way a spontaneous show of solidarity with Palestinians, and neither is it a consequence of the war ignited by Hamas on October 7.

    Al Arabyia warned years ago that the Qatari funding could have serious implications for academic research regarding the Middle East and for the ‘academic independence’ of prestigious US universities.

    Among the institutions that received funding from Qatar are well known Universities whose graduates often become policymakers, like Harvard and Georgetown in Washington DC. The question is, how deep does the Qatari, and through it the Iranian, influence on academic teachings in those Universities run, how many American politicians have been brainwashed by Qatari, and through it Iranian, propaganda, and how is the American policy in the Middle East shaped by the Qatari-linked Academia.

    Qataris are Arabs, a semitic ppl.

    Therefore not antisemites.

    Anti Jewish is perhaps the term you're looking for.

    And yet the leaders of Hamas, who are extremely wealthy, are living in luxury in Qatar.

    Qatar seems to be trying to be on both sides. They want to appear moderate to the West and be a part of the world’s family of nations. Yet they provide a home to international criminals.

    "Let Me Be Clear": Harvard Backpedals After Donors Slam 'Insane' Protections For Pro-Genocide Students
    [​IMG]
    'Asness, Kraft, Loeb And Ackman go scorched earth...'

    SHE REFUSED TO CONDEMN HARVARD STUDENTS CALLING FOR THE GENOCIDE OF JEWS

    'Harvard University has issued a statement on Wednesday in a furious attempt at damage control, after President Claudine Gay refused to condemn students calling for the genocide of Jews.'

    'Harvard's Gay said that it depends on context, such as being "targeted at an individual."'

    It her twisted hate filled jew hating mind calling for the death of a single Jew would be a problem, but calling for the murder of all the Jews is 'protected speech'.

    So if these Harvard students called for the murder of a single Harvard Administrator, they would be subjected to consequences, but, if the called for the murder of ALL of the Harvard Administrators, that would be 'protected free speech." How does a moron like this end up in charge of Harvard. Is she completely ignorant of Title VI or is she just pretending to be a drooling imbecile?

    'Billionaire Dan Loeb also weighed in - saying in reply to Ackman: "The cowardly and unprincipled responses show them each to be unfit to lead."'

    'Meanwhile, Penn alumnus and founder of AQR Capital Management Clif Asness said "I wish I could quit giving twice," in a post on X, adding "This is just insane. Insane."'

    Major donors rage

    'In response to the comments, activist investor and Harvard alum Bill Ackman said "They must all resign in disgrace," adding "if a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour."'

    Now probably after having Harvard's lawyers gasp in astonishment at how vile and wicked she is in her idiocy, she backtracks: 'Calls for violence or genocide against the Jewish community, or any religious or ethnic group are vile, they have no place at Harvard, and those who threaten our Jewish students will be held to account.'

    'At a Congressional hearing yesterday, President Gray refused to say whether calling for Jewish genocide is against the university code of conduct.'

    Maybe Qatar can make up for the lost donor support.

    My general impression of the universities I attended was that the President and muckety mucks who were always out shaking down people for donations really couldn't have cared less about the particulars of who was teaching what and in what way as long as it doesn't interfere with the dollars coming in. Even then it was just a matter of riding out the hoopla of the day because they know that in a month or a semester or a year there will be yet another one coming.

    Universities Face Congressional Inquiry and Angry Donors Over Handling of Antisemitism: Congress has opened an investigation into Harvard, M.I.T. and University of Pennsylvania, a $100 million gift was withdrawn, and demands have grown for the universities’ presidents to resign. “Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Democrat of New York, said all three presidents should leave their posts.”

    She's right.

    'a House committee opened an investigation into the three institutions as its chairwoman criticized the schools for failing to tackle the “rampant antisemitism” on their campuses after the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7 and the subsequent Israeli invasion of Gaza.'

    Looks like they shredded Title VI

    '“The disgusting targeting and harassment of Jewish students is not limited to these institutions, and other universities should expect investigations as well, as their litany of similar failures has not gone unnoticed,”'

    Even claimed they weren't sure it was harassment of Jews students for other students to call for the genocide of the Jews.

    “Seeing the presidents of some of our most elite universities literally unable to denounce calling for the genocide of Jews as anti-Semitic — that lack of moral clarity is simply unacceptable,”

    'Jewish students at Hillel did not feel support from the administration. Some of them said they did not feel supported by their professors,'

    Jews are overwhelmingly committed Leftists. They have to be shocked and stunned beyond belief. It's just this decade or so, that family gatherings are not missing loved ones slaughtered by Hitler.

    Their hateful ideology got its foothold with DEI, Critical Theory, Decolonization and the Micro-aggression.

    The Hamas-Israeli War Obliterated the Campus Micro-Aggression

    'The presidents of Harvard, Penn, and MIT were dressed down by lawmakers for their refusal to unequivocally condemn expressions of antisemitism on their universities’ campuses.'

    [​IMG]

    In response they repeated endlessly, context, and context is important, but 'it flies completely in the face of long-standing campus policies surrounding speech codes and microaggressions. And it isolates Jews as a singular identity group for whom the rules and protections of campus safetyism don’t apply.'
