Bill Barr: Mob Rule and Moral Bankruptcy at Columbia
The Free Press ^ | 11 Sep 2024 | William Barr

,big>Antisemitism isn’t borne of ignorance at my alma mater. Antisemitism is taught there.

Reading the report issued last month by Columbia University’s Task Force on Antisemitism, one could be forgiven for thinking that it describes the University of Heidelberg circa 1933. It contains accounts of observant Jews being harassed and assaulted, and open calls for the murder of Jews. But no, this is not Nazi Germany. This is the Upper West Side of Manhattan in 2024. There—in one of the nation’s most elite enclaves of higher learning—the oldest hatred is alive and well, gussied up in academic robes.

The admittedly “serious and pervasive” antisemitic incidents detailed by the report are disturbing. Even more troubling is the extent to which Columbia faculty and administrators were complicit in the problem. One instructor kicked off a class in the Master of Public Health program with a discussion of the Jewish “capitalists” who “laundered” their “dirty money” and “blood money” through donations to the university. Others silenced Jewish students in class discussions of the Holocaust and Israel. Still others moved class sessions and office hours to Columbia’s “Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” where Jewish students were routinely threatened and physically attacked.

For their part, campus demonstrators made no attempt to conceal their hatred of Jews. In fact, they made a public spectacle of it. A video cited by the report shows demonstrators stealing an Israeli flag from a Jewish student and assaulting him as he tried to stop them from setting it on fire. It shows demonstrators repeatedly shouting “Go back to Poland” at Jewish students as they walked across campus. One leader of the encampment proudly boasted, “Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists. . . I feel very comfortable calling for those people to die.” ...

You were responsible Bill Barr, because you refused to look in to the 2020 election theft. Since you were not interested then, you have no reason to be commenting on what you created, especially as being distraught about what has transpired.

So, do what you wanted to do, which was is enjoy retired life while the American people suffer.

We do not want to hear from you ever again, because no one cares what you have to say on any topic, traitor.

Barr needs to lean on the meritless Garland to act, otherwise this is just more pure blather from Bagpipe.

Blow it out your bagpipes, Barr. This is of your making. You could have been a Patriot for your Country. Instead, you chose to be a morally bankrupt coward. You are one of the owners of this dumpster fire. Enjoy.

I used to have respect for the man, but he never deserved it because he is a Deep State cuck.

Bill Barr's right on this one - it's being taught. Glad he's speaking up.

I fail to see the connection.

If Barr had seriously looked into election theft, Biden would have never become President. I fail to see the connection.

If Biden had never become President, then these people would not be doing what they are doing at our Colleges & Universities. By not enforcing the rule of law, he has made lawless behavior allowable, as long as it is being done for grievance purposes. He refused to crack down on BLM & Antifa behavior as well.

Does that help you make the connection? Or do you believe they are unrelated? Condoning or ignoring bad behavior begats more bad behavior for additional grievances.
