Temple University has suspended a second student involved in the “F— the Jews” sign at a Philadelphia bar owned by Dave Portnoy, according to a Wednesday statement from the university.
The second student’s name has not been released. In a post on X, Portnoy referenced two people involved in ordering the “F— the Jews” sign, including Temple student Mo Khan — who had posted a video of the sign to social media — and a friend.
On a call with the two, Portnoy said both “cried their eyes out” and “accepted responsibility for their hateful actions.” But Khan later said his statements to Portnoy were made “under duress” and that he was not responsible for the sign.
On Tuesday, Khan appeared on Holocaust denier Stew Peters’ podcast, where he said he “absolutely” agreed with Peters that people should “join forces” to fight “Jewish supremacy.”
“The content of this interview was both appalling and deeply offensive,” Temple president John Fry wrote in the statement. “Antisemitism is not tolerated at Temple. We condemn it in the strongest possible terms, and we will be relentless in efforts to combat it, especially when members of our community have been targeted because of their Jewish identity.”
Portnoy had offered both Khan and his friend a free educational visit to Auschwitz in Poland, which he later revoked.
In Wednesday’s statement, Fry also referenced an unrelated incident in which a Temple student made “alarming comments related to the United States” in a video circulating on social media.
Fry appeared to be referencing a video in which Temple student Rishi Arun says, “It is our job to destroy imperialism, destroy the United States, and destroy capitalism and the system of extraction that it relies on.”
Arun is labelled in the video as “Students for Justice in Palestine Temple University.” But Students for Justice in Palestine is not a recognized student organization at Temple, Fry wrote. The club was suspended in October 2024 after SJP protestors disrupted a job fair on campus, leading to four arrests.
Fry also noted that today was Temple’s commencement ceremony, and he urged Temple students and faculty to keep “focused on what matters most: celebrating our graduates and wishing them success.”

It’s time we start “suspending” these maggots with a good piece of their beloved hemp.
I would have done more than ‘talk sternly’ with these communists, and that is one of the groups behind this.
Pronto.
[[Temple suspends second student involved in ‘F— the Jews’ sign))
Suspends? Pretty sure his suspension isn’t going to cure his vile antisemitism.
Temple used to be a fairly solid Christian university ithought? They now allow islamic Jewish haters to enroll as long as they aren’t overly vocal about their hatred?
The Krap of Khan.
Arrest, detain and deport. NOW.
You mean it’s not the Jewish Temple? (/s)
OK, I’ll be serious. There was a time, not in my lifetime, when the purpose of Pennsylvania was to be a place where every religion could be practiced without fear or favor. It’s why there was a William Penn willing to establish Sylvania, except that the king said it had to be Penn’s Sylvania. (My graduate mentor Romeo Cascarino wrote an opera about William Penn, took him 25 years.)
Jews left the Holodomor and came to Philadelphia because they could be safe there. Irish Catholics near northern Ireland left their religious battles and their famines and came to Philadelphia because they could be safe there. I left Philadelphia almost 50 years ago because I couldn’t be safe there, and most other people aren’t safe there either. Thank you leftists for destroying another jewel of America.
Well, at least. it looks like Temple is taking this seriously, unlike Harvard and others...
The university has no cause to suspend a paying student who made a comment off campus.
if that same student had said F the Dems, or F the Reps, or F the Pope, or F the Christians, F Jesus, or F the Imams
do you think anything would have happened to them ?
There are all kinds of reasons the Government should not be giving money to Universities, but this is not one of them
I’d like to know just exactly what constitutes suspension? Why are these Yahoo’s not being expelled?
There was an earlier topic that got pulled before I visited it.
“ The university has no cause to suspend a paying student who made a comment off campus.”
Oh yes they do. Try saying “F*** my employer” on FB sometime and see what happens to you. The University has a Student Code of Conduct that applies on or off campus.

I had a co-worker who took the day off to picket our employer
along with 30-40 other people on the sidewalk in front of said employer.
I don’t remember why but it was a similar situation, or they wanted employer to stop taking military contracts or something.
He eventually got promoted
Your employer was an idiot.
