Julie Platt, the Chair of the Jewish Federations of North America, has been appointed as interim chair of the University of Pennsylvania Board after the former chair resigned amid backlash from the university president's controversial congressional testimony on campus antisemitism.

"This evening, following the resignation of University of Pennsylvania Board Chair Scott Bok, the board asked me to serve as interim chair. I made clear that my priority is my role as chair of the Jewish Federations of North America, and, therefore, agreed to do so and lead the process of selecting a new chair by the start of the next semester, which begins in January 2024," Platt wrote in a statement.

"As Vice Chair of the university’s board these past several months, I have worked hard from the inside to address the rising issues of antisemitism on campus. Unfortunately, we have not made all the progress that we should have and intend to accomplish. In my view, given the opportunity to choose between right and wrong, the three university presidents testifying in the United States House of Representatives failed. The leadership change at the university was, therefore, necessary and appropriate. I will continue as a board member of the university to use my knowledge and experience of Jewish life in North America and at Penn to accelerate this critical work," she added.

She concluded: "As chair of the Jewish Federations of North America, we are leading the largest mobilization in our history in support of Israel’s right to protect its citizens and against the rise of antisemitism in North America, including staging the largest Jewish rally in American history on the National Mall. We will continue this fight with all our energy."

It just looks like pandering to Jews for money.

Why do we pander to Palestinians or Jews?

Be good if the JFNA was as ardent about opposing anti-white racism.

‘Black Lives Matter,’ declare groups representing majority of US Jews in NYT ad

Over 600 Jewish organizations, representing the majority of American Jews, signed a letter in support of the Black Lives Matter movement that was published in a full-page New York Times ad on Friday...

The letter’s signatories include ardently Zionist, mainstream organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League and Jewish Federations of North America local chapters, along with several groups that support the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement, including Jewish Voice for Peace and Anti-Zionist Shabbat.

Please dear Lord, have private security patrol this event.   The Washington DC Metropolitan Police Department are federal officers and cannot be trusted to keep The Chosen People safe.   Uncle Miltie, please tell them they need to look at all the possible scenarios.

Did you read the part where she has served as the Vice Chair of the board prior to the resignation of Board Chair Scott Bok? Makes sense that the Vice Chair takes over. No pandering done.

American Jews! 80% of them are self loathing, quivering, *ss
kissing JINO liberals (AND SMUGLY PROUD OF IT!)who would have been destroyed and wiped from memory, but for the G-D that they hardly give a thought to or thank for their very existence. Bagels and lox does not make a Jew!

But this is nothing new, rather, it’s human nature, and timeless.

It is Chanukah now, “THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS”, that commemorates the miracle of a single day’s supply of lamp oil burning for 8 days. What utter B*LLSH*T!, but a lesson in the ways of the world. There are two books of Maccabees, MACCABEES I, written at the time of the events & MACCABEES II, written some 200 years later after the priests had gotten hold of the story...suddenly, the “MIRACLE” of Chanukah (which means “DEDICATION” or “RE-DEDICATION”) is focused on the supernatural instead of the small group of JEWS who took up arms in rebellion to preserve their way of life, waged guerilla warfare against the greatest military in the region and WON! THAT is the MIRACLE of Chanukah, not some cockamamie light show!

“FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS”, my *ss!

You can bet that the JEWISH FEDERATIONS of JUDEA were apologists to their ASSYRIAN MASTERS and came up with “THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS”, campaign way back then...they and the priests!

Keep the Faith.

You are far to optimistic. One of the major reasons why American Universities have gotten so bad is that Jewish leaders have promoted left-wing activism. These leaders then provide cover for antisemitism on the Left, while telling other Jews to stay quiet. Julie Beren Platt is part of the problem. She supported and protected former President Liz Magill.

As interim chair of the Board of Governors of the University of Pennsylvania, Platt's new role is to find another president, who supports CRT and DEI and to provide cover for an ongoing institutional left-wing antisemitism at the University of Pennsylvania while reining in its worst abuses. Platt has been part of the problem and is unlikely to fix anything, because she believes the underlying ideology or is too afraid to say otherwise. Her husband is a leftist Hollywood producer for such PC movies as the recent woke Disney adaptations of The Little Mermaid and the upcoming Snow White. The Platts simply cannot fathom that DEI and CRT are antisemitic. It would mean repudiating much of their careers, losing their friends, and admitting that they were part of the problem. As I said, she will be cover for a continuation of anti-Semitic ideologies and choosing of the next president of the University of Pennsylvania based on adherence to the same.

I believe there are four Books of Maccabees.

The Catholic Church regards 1 and 2 to be canon (i.e., divinely inspired), hence part of the Catholic Old Testament.

The Greek Orthodox Church regards 1, 2, and 3 to be canon, and included in their OT.

It's possible the Ethiopian Orthodox Church (part of Oriental Orthodoxy) regards all four canon. I know their OT has more books than any other Christian church, even including the Book of Enoch (or at least 1 Enoch, perhaps not the others).

Protestants removed Maccabees from their OT, saying it was because the Hebrew Scriptures' don't include it. However, some early Protestant Bibles included it after the NT as Apocrypha, thinking that they might still have some edifying benefits.

I suppose there are no White guys that would qualify for that very important and lucrative job.
