Jewish billionaire and philanthropist Henry Swieca quit the Columbia University board of directors over what he called the Ivy League school’s “moral cowardice” for allowing a “blatantly anti-Jewish” sentiment to thrive on campus.
“To my deep regret the reputation and integrity of Columbia University, and by extension Columbia Business School, have been significantly compromised by a moral cowardice that appears beyond repair,” Swieca said in a resignation letter made public this week, Fox News reported.
“This is abhorrent,” he wrote in the scathing letter. “Any other minority group on campus would never have to face anything close to this level of intimidation and hatred of Jewish and pro-Israel students experience.” Swieca added, “To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.”

Wonder how many liberal polices he supported.
“Wonder how many liberal polices he supported.”
I’m going with all of them.

Damn far-left, terrorist ***-kissing, liberal students sure are some flaming ahos. Go to “college”, GO FULL RETARD.
Meanwhile, board member A turns to board member B and says: “I told you we should let those effin’ Jews on the Board!”
Well they are off the Board now, or soon will be. So the Ivy League comes full circle on Jewish exclusion.
Some people think rich jews defunding this stuff will reverse the trend of elite campus anti-Israel, anti-jewish.
It won’t because, jews have just been ejected from the Regime Coalition.
The left now controls every institution in America. They no longer need Jewish money or support, so jews are no longer necessary and are out of the “Friend Coalition”.
Well this man must be truly loaded, because I have never heard of him before.
CLOSE THE CHECKBOOKS!!!!
true enough, the Puppetmeisers that seized control over the DemoNaziCommie party political machine and college campuses have ejected, ditched any Jewish support
at the same time, this one generous philantropic Jew who is fortunate to have money ... is not stupid. There’s no reason on God’s green earth why he should continue to contribute funds to a school which harbors and enables IslamoNazi or just plain neoNazi mobs and their violence, lies, propaganda, and intimidation of good people on campus
He just noticed the rabid New hatred, America hatred, White hatred, Christian hatred, in that cesspool?
In the history of mankind, I do not believe they have ever been people with as much disposable money as the super billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates. Even a King’s wealth was tied up in castles and land. We are in a new period of time in history, and it is not good.
I’d like to shake that man’s hand!
Henry, sweetie, where ya been?
Columbia took the Oil Money and went Jihadie decades ago.
They’ve been anti Jew for a long time.
And ya been giving them money?
What a Maroon!
but he was perfectly ok with all marxist crap they teach
Same with Georgetown, the ostensibly Catholic university in DC where many of our elites have studied. Soon after GU stopped having Jesuit priests as their president and installed a lay professional administrator as president in 2001, Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal gave $20 million in 2005 for a building and institute named in his honor to promote "interfaith understanding" and the study of Islam...
“This is abhorrent,” he wrote in the scathing letter. “Any other minority group on campus would never have to face anything close to this level of intimidation and hatred of Jewish and pro-Israel students experience.” Swieca added, “To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.”
Agreed agreed agreed. Abhorrent, cowardly, despicable. Tolerance for everyone. Oh, not so fast there Jewish people!
Moral cowardice. That sums up the liberal/Marxist Left in the US.
Re the students - No more pay to slay.
To the Administrators - lawsuits
To the professors and other teachers - You’re fired!!!
