Claudine Gay shows why you shouldn't hire a person based solely on sex and race

On October 7, the Palestinian army broke its 15th ceasefire, invaded Israel, raped and slaughtered hundreds, took hostages, and then stole back to Gaza City which is a cover for the 300 miles of tunnels and fortifications below ground which Palestinians use to launch terrorist attacks on Israel.

The UN said nothing, instead it waited until Israel’s inevitable response so it could condemn Israel because the UN has become the Nazis it was formed to fight.

The reaction in the United States was heartening but also sad. Most of the nation rallied behind Israel in a manner not seen in decades, but the young lefties aped academia and condemned Israel.

For example, Canary Mission reported that Omer Bartov is a professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies in the Department of History at Brown.

He blamed Israel for Palestinians raping, torturing, murdering and mutilating Israelis on October 7.

Bartov wrote, “On 7 October, this repressed reality literally exploded in the country’s face. This was an event waiting to happen. If you keep over 2 million people under siege for 16 years, cramped in a narrow strip of land, without enough work, proper sanitation, food, water, energy and education, with no hope or future prospects, you cannot but expect outbreaks of ever more desperate and brutal violence, inexcusable as those atrocities were.”

Israel gave Palestinians Gaza and provided them food, fuel and water. But hating Jews helps advance one’s career in the Ivy League.

When Russia invaded Ukraine Ukrainian flags appeared eveyrwhere, on lawns, profile photos, newspapers, and on cars.

I’ve seen NO Israeli flags anywhere. As I see it, it the main reason is that this would get your head chopped off by an insane fanatical Jew-hating member of the religion of peace.

Why not, Brandon did it for the Supreme Court. /sarc

It tells you a lot that Harvard’s Gay has fashioned an academic career
centered on failure, failed cultures, adverse behaviors, mediocrity, etc.

Gay’s choosing to emulate cultural ruination seems to be her highest aspiration.
She is dismantling our cultural norms when she should be building them up.

Academia should advance actions, behaviors and cultures that drive success. Harvard
should inspire students to be business leaders, professionals, with successful families, etc.

If Trump is serious about making American institutions great and rational again, he should take an unscheduled stroll through the Harvard yard when the students are there. Suspect most, tired of the leftist straitjacket on speech and thought, would cheer him. It would be a seminal political event and drive the horrible people who control these institutions crazy.

How is that Israel's fault? Who's administering Gaza? If you don't like living in Gaza, go somewhere else where you're welcomed. Even given those conditions, there is NO excuse in the world that explains what those terrorists did during the attack. I think the IDF should announce that anyone left in Gaza after (pick a date that 30 days away) will be considered an enemy combatant and will be shot on site. When there are no more combatants, Israel will consider letting people return to their homes.

and that is the point. The libs shut up people. I think that is why no one objected and people thought it was funny when Archie Bunker told Edith to ‘stifle’.

It’s the lib way.

Kornbluth at MIT is every bit as bad as Gay. She’s getting a free pass by hiding behind the Harvard scandal.

[jdt1138]

Yet you continue to bring them fame with front page headlines. Great work OP.

Gang rape and murder is good if you can virtue signal off it.

[bray]

And VP, no other qualifications were necessary.

[Uncle Miltie]

“Claudine” - n. A person hired wholly on zher intersectional rank and clearly unqualified. “Claudine missed payroll again! How can I afford my rent now?”

[ALASKA]

I know I will never go to Harvard again!

“you shouldn’t hire a person based solely on sex and race”

That’s not true in this case. If she had been a political conservative, she would have been rejected no matter how many boxes she had checked off.

[Steely Tom]

Analogous to the “thunder runs” made by our soldiers in Iraq.

[Alberta's Child]

Kornbluth is getting a pass on the viral antisemitism because she’s Jewish.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Hit them in the places they are venerable. In the Pocketbook, no mote gifts of Money from any Jew or religious person to Hate Fueled Harvard. and Second, Make Jokes about them. “Hey, What does the new Harvard microwave like? Answer, It fits a toddler.” “What is on Harvard’s must read list? Answer: “Mein Kamp.”

[butlerweave]

Harvard is a joke it even has a Clown as president

[Seruzawa]

Same reason you don’t see MAGA hats and stuff. Violent lefties.
