Harvard University has created a task force to fight antisemitism on campus — and the effort is already embroiled in controversy.
The co-chair of the school’s newly appointed Presidential Task Force on Combating Antisemitism once declared “veins of hatred run through Jewish civilization,” according to his 2023 book.
“Israel’s dispossession of Palestinians from their land and oppression of those who remain have made it one of the most disliked countries on the planet,” Jewish history professor Derek Penslar claimed in his tome, “Zionism: An Emotional State,” in which he wrote, “Jewish culture was steeped in fantasies (and occasionally, acts) of vengeance against Christians.”
The task force, announced Friday, comes as the university continues to roil in the fallout from recently ousted president Claudine Gay.
In August 2023, Penslar signed onto a letter from a group called Academics4Peace, in which Israel was derided as a “regime of apartheid,” guilty of “Jewish supremacism.”
The letter, which was signed by 2,900 people, also accused the country of attempting to “ethnically cleanse all territories under Israeli rule of their Palestinian population.”

The headline reads just like the Babylon Bee.
Perfect!!!
The sad part is I bet a good number, maybe even a majority, of the people in this country knows what antisemitism means.
Because it takes an avowed antisemite to solve antisemitism.
*doesn’t know
Funny.
Smarmy soy boy. Did they vett this clown and think nobody would notice?
The great problem in academia is the insular world they have created through intolerance and segregation. They all think one way because they don’t allow any other way of thinking to enter into the bubble in which they exist. The fact they have embraced ignorance to the extent they have would astound them if they weren’t so afraid of reality.
But can Penslar plagiarize? You want to succeed in woke Harvard these days, plagiarism is a must.
Meanwhile, open bias continues against whites.
No hearings, no firings.
Well...what better person to know it when they see it? < / s >
well by golly at least they aren’t racist /s
About par for the course- antisemites running an antisemite league-
There would be less antisemitism if people stopped obsessing about it. People need to mind their own business.
