Here’s What We Found Inside Harvard’s Antisemitism Report
Bari Weiss's Free Press think they found the smoking gun
By Aaron Maté and Katie Halper
This week Harvard released it’s final report from the Presidential Task Force on Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Israeli Bias. In a video released by The Free Press, a site which once fought censorship and blasted cancel culture, the worst crimes of antisemitism are listed, given as reasons to cancel and censor students.
We will restate their list here:
• Some Jewish students reported that they have been “ghosted” by longterm friends for expressing sympathy for Israel
• One student was told by another that “Zionists are not welcome at Harvard Medical School
• A professor began a class about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by telling students that “the discourse is saturated with the Israeli narrative” and that she had decided to, “with a heavy heart, remove Israeli sources from the syllabus.”
• In a Harvard-run privilege training, Jewish students were deemed to be privileged not only for being identified as white, but also because they were Jewish
• When Jewish students reported concerns about bias, they were asked “Who is more marginalized, Jews or Palestinians?”
• A student was asked: “Do you believe in decolonization in theory or in practice?”
None of these top examples are antisemitic, and certainly aren’t considered illegal speech on a college campus. But cancel culture grifters like Bari Weiss and CNN’s Dana Bash are using them to justify President Trump’s draconian crackdown on free speech, and are part of the larger cause of dehumanizing Palestinians to justify the US-funded genocide of children in Gaza.
