I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican. I am neither a liberal nor a conservative. I lean neither right nor left. I'm just a person trying to evaluate each idea on its own merit and to be amongst people who believe in morality, kindness and common sense. Please join me.

It's amazing when your efforts to help people becomes an answer on @Jeopardy !

The NYT is terminally ill. A guy tries to car bomb a preschool in Michigan and the NYT generates a sympathetic headline suggesting his act was justifiable. Are we really now that morally corrupt?

No Ms. Magill, the antisemitism you allowed to shine through cannot be put back in the bottle.

Are you asking us to believe that the president of an Ivy League school, called to testify on antisemitism om campus, was caught off guard by a question about antisemitism on campus?

A Video Message from President Liz Magill

[Jonathan Fish @JonathanFish_MD]

Again, since calling for the genocide of Jews can warrant discipline only once it turns into action, the question I have is whether initiating genocide is sufficient to warrant discipline, or if the genocide has to be completed to warrant discipline?

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:

Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?

The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.

Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.

In short, they said:

It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.

This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:

“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”

The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.

Don’t take my word for it.

You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.

They must all resign in disgrace.

If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.

Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?

Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.

To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.

On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.

It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.

If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.

[Jonathan Fish @JonathanFish_MD]

Your position under oath was recorded and irrefutable. You stated that whether those calling for the genocide of Jews at Harvard should be disciplined is dependent on the 'context'. Can you clarify - if they start commiting genocide is that enough, or do they have to complete it?

[Harvard University @Harvard]

Statement from President Gay: There are some who have confused a right to free expression with the idea that Harvard will condone calls for violence against Jewish students. Let me be clear: Calls for violence or genocide against the Jewish community, or any religious or ethnic group are vile, they have no place at Harvard, and those who threaten our Jewish students will be held to account.

Anti-Israel movements on college campuses are growing more aggressive in targeting Jewish students and organizations. In the past few days, both the @Harvard and @UofIllinois communities have seen hateful displays of #antisemitism and anti-Zionism.
