Daniel Koren National Post, Dec. 13, 2023 “… when a student asked the university why — at a time of intense antisemitism — it was hosting an event with a speaker who also justified the indiscriminate murder of innocent Israeli civilians and tourists, McMaster’s response was that it was “committed to protecting” the speaker’s “expression.”” […]

Barbara Kay Toronto Sun, Dec. 21, 2023 “One of their specious dogmas insists that the only good Jew is the Jew who loathes Israel. Thus, leftist Jews scramble pathetically to please their ideological masters with precious burnt offerings like their dead grandmothers.” I hope, after I have shuffled off this mortal coil, that none […]
Andrew Phillips Toronto Sun, Dec. 15, 2023 “During the current conflict Muslim MPs, including Liberals, spoke out in favour of a ceasefire before the government shifted its position. And a group representing Muslim donors to the Liberal party, called Network 100, publicly withdrew its support because the government had not heeded those calls for a ceasefire.” […]

They murdered over 1200 Israeli civilians, maimed or injured over 4500, and abducted over 200 to the Gaza Strip, all in the most brutal […]

BEEN THERE BEFORE Opinion: This Unpalatable Reality About Antisemitism at Harvard: Lev Golinkin, CNN, Dec. 12, 2023 — Harvard University recently issued the latest in an ongoing string of attempts to underscore its commitment to combatting antisemitism, which has grown more evident in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war. The Rabbi’s Lesson for Claudine Gay: Seth Mandel, Commentary Magazine, Dec. 14, 2023 — Much […]
Peter Wood and David Randall National Association of Scholars, Dec. 11, 2023 “… since the Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7, President Gay has exhibited a moral obtuseness that marries intolerance for all dissent from the diversity, equity, and inclusion regime, to insensitivity to Jews faced with anti-Jewish harassment.” The National Association of […]
Dan Sullivan WSJ, Dec. 15, 2023 “Would you feel welcome in Harvard’s most famous library? Would you feel rattled, intimidated and harassed by the anti-Israel banner screaming “Stop the Genocide in Gaza”?” I was in Boston last weekend for the Army-Navy game. The day after the game, five days after Harvard President Claudine Gay’s disastrous […]
Isabel Vincent NY Post, Dec. 12, 2023 “And two days later, on Oct. 27, The Post was sent a 15-page letter by Thomas Clare, a high-powered Virginia-based attorney with the firm Clare-Locke who identified himself as defamation counsel for Harvard University and Gay.

Eli Steele Newsweek, Dec. 11, 2023 “By checking the “black” box, I was being asked to mask the actual problems and inequities that undermine the efforts of lower-class blacks—all so university administrations could claim the pretense of racial redemption through higher enrollment numbers.” I have known people like Claudine Gay my entire life and they […]
Michael Goodwin NY Post, Dec. 12, 2023 “Beyond Harvard, Gay’s reprieve likely will be turned into a misleading model by other schools facing calls for new leadership. They now have a template for conceding mistakes and denouncing antisemitism, then moving on as if they’ve solved the problem.” So now it’s one president down, no more […]

Nial Ferguson The Free Press, Dec. 11, 2023 “But the reason Claudine Gay’s carefully phrased answers on Tuesday infuriated her critics is not that they were technically incorrect, but that they were so clearly at odds with her record—specifically her record as dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences in the years 2018–2022, when […]
