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.”

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”.

Yes, the Far Left is no longer making any secret of their Jew hate. The Frankenstein coalition the Democrats have put together is starting to fracture - as it was always going to. (psssst how long before the Muslims and the Alphabet people fall out? That's coming next).

Back to Jews though....making their hatred for them so obvious could prove costly to the Left. True, Jews are only about 2% of the population so their votes are not so important but their talent sure is....look at how many politicians, college profs, public intellectuals, members of the professional class, etc are Jews. Its a LOT. Even bigger than that though is their money. Jews provide 25% of Republican's funding and 50% of Democrat's funding. How much do they provide universities and various other foundations? Its a crap-ton however much it is. Pissing these people off and making enemies of them could prove quite costly.

Yes again, I realize that for some Jews Leftism and not Judaism is their true religion and they will never turn from it no matter how much other Leftists express their hatred of them.....but some certainly will. Its up to the MAGA movement to make the point about how we are in many ways aligned with "good liberals" of old - not the Leftists of today.
