THREAD: Penn was my dream school. Now it feels unrecognizable. Rising antisemitism, vandalism, and threats have gone unchecked. I shared my story with congress and the state senate months ago — nothing has changed.
Here’s what it’s like to be a Jewish student at UPenn 🧵👇

@PatriciaHeaton @UofPenn why is FJP exempt from rules and restrictions re: protests. Why are they allowed to block access to facilities? #DefundPENN is only viable option at this point. You have shown your antisemitic bias
Happening Now: UPenn Faculty for Justice in Palestine is holding a rally blocking access to the library and the children’s hospital.
Penn stated that unauthorized rallies are not permitted this year. Yet, Penn’s own faculty is holding one right now.
Breaking: Penn Faculty for Justice in Palestine is currently obstructing students from entering the main library on campus.
At the beginning of this year, the Penn administration stated rallies needed to be pre-approved, these faculty are directly breaking school policy.
Not to be outdone by #antisemitism at @Harvard, the geniuses at @Penn will offer a course by Dwayne Booth, who penned a cartoon which “depicts Zionists sipping Gazan blood from wine glasses, a version of the ancient blood libel employed in anti-Semitic propaganda.”

@Penn
How is it that a student's behavior on school property got them arrested, but not expelled?
Why are you rewarding hate mongering criminals?
This is not a free speech issue any longer.
You are guilty of empowering illegal radical behavior.

@Penn what happened to the abusive students of yours? For incitement to racism, invocations of genocide, threats against historically abused minorities & other threats to personal & national security, where's the transparency & accountability? You don't exist on a private island

The so-called elite educational institutions need to be completely defunded and forbidden from taking funding from foreign entities

I don't know if she is a #plagiarist. I don't care.
She IS a #sponsor of #terrorism just like her #BFFs #ElizabethMagill and #SallyKornbluth.

What a moral bankruptcy displayed by the leaders of three Ivey League universities (one of them, @Penn, I’m sad to say is my alma mater). Good for Conresswoman @EliseStefanik for exposing them. #antisemitism #moralbankruptcy #universities #DefundHarvard #DefundPenn #DefundMIT
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.
