As a German i'm extremly disgusted that what happened in my country is happening again, if Americans doesn't save America now it will be to late 😢
39 Jewish people are in Congress....all but ONE of them are democrats. 90%+ of Islamists vote left. This is a problem within the left and it's echoed across the western world. I don't know where it ends.....but hopefully they get it together soon.
Honestly as jewish guy I'm proud of you germans for what you're doing to fight antisemitism especially fighting to not repeat the past.
Look honestly you're country is strong and doing better. Stand strong Germany.
@@123mikey1000 As a German and as a Jew I wish that every country had our laws, here just for drawing a swatiska on the street can give you at least 3 years of jail and an antisemitic crime like painting a synagogue then you are being recogniced as a terrorist by the state
We can’t do anything… we get arrested when we stand up! We need everyone to do it at once
@@Badolado384that’s a bit extreme! You won’t get Americans to agree to that! What you described isn’t freedom of speech! Americans won’t give away rights but doesn’t mean we can’t punish those who break our laws…
I have been a college history professor for over 25 years. I have seen it all from the inside. College have heavily promoted antisemitism through a number of speakers and programs. It is about time they are held accountable.
Agreed. People can have different views on politics, but that doesn’t extend to hating people because of their ethnicity and blaming issues on them as individuals, and no one should feel unsafe on campuses. This anti-semitism from the left is shameful.
@@xeganxerxes4319 exactly what we are seeing goes beyond being critical of a policy. They are calling for eradication of the Jewish people. I have several videos on my channel giving the entire history of the region
@@HistoryfortheAges Yes, I don’t think Israel is a saint, but it’s funny how they are critical of Israel whenever possible but ignore the abuses of Iran or Saudi or the new Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Hell, they don’t even talk up about abuses against Muslims when it’s China or India. But when any white country or country they consider white (whilst ignoring hate against Jewish People who were massacred by white German nationalists in the 1930s and 40s) does something bad they are ready to reck havoc.
Also, I think Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorists. Maybe they have gone overboard, with the bombing, I don’t know? But they have the right to carry out operations against hamsa for sure.
@xeganxerxes4319 sadly with Hamas using hospitals, schools etc as their military locations I don't see Israel having much of any other choice if they want to prevent another October 7th
Could you please provide exact examples of this? It seems when people question the ethics of Israel we get called anti semitics ..
Free speech is power and with that power comes responsibility…
@@user-d8asfhac5o
Nothing in the Constitution says "Give plagiarising extreme anti-semites free reign to spread their hated and cause terrorism".
Disagree? Provide a quote which law legalises hatespeech.
using an undesired pronoun will get you suspended - but threatening genocide does not - what an upside down world!
This has been several decades in the making. It's exactly what happens when you brainwash an entire generation into the lies of cultural Ma r x is m.
facts 💯totally ridiculous
What is the word for genocide? I want to make sure it is used to describe what Israel is currently doing to the Palestinians.
@@maxwitt1449 I don't see hordes of protestors marching against Palestinians on US campuses - it is that behavior that is the offense they are concerned with in these hearings. Conflating the issues is a red herring.
Pure 1984 doublethink.
I’m honestly ashamed of what America what has become. We literally fought a world war against these ideals and now they’re here at home? This is insanity.
You fought wars for oil lol
@@farishabib9177You fight wars for a "messiah" who had a 6 year old bride.
Ah yes because of all the rich oil fields in Germany, Japan and Italy. It’s not like the main Allied strategy in the early war cutting off those countries oil right? Because they all had so much?
@@farishabib9177Where? Where does the US have drilling operations from a country they invaded?
Well it depends on the context
What an embarrassment to America these college presidents are...
What an embarassment to America these Zionist paid-for politicians reviving McCarthyism to suppress dissent.
What an embarassment for Jews across America that their government is forcing this self-victimizing narrative.
In order, from least annoying to most:
1) Liz Magill
2) Sally Kornbluth
3) Claudine Gay
4) Pamela Nadell
Perhaps expectations just should be lower for #4, given her relative lack of credentials. In that case, Claudine Gay wins the dubious distinction and I’m okay with that.
I actually thought Liz Magill comported herself reasonably well overall.
I would say the politicians are the embarrassment
And the big rich donors.@@majedtaleb3944
I agree 💯 PERCENT
I’ve never been more proud of my A.S. degree from community college, where we all got along, where we studied together regardless of our differences, and where we were supported by our teachers as long as we did the work. ☮️
My niece asked me about do I want men in my bathroom when I go out I knew colleges we're going in there s******* then and they're even worse now crap hole cuz it wouldn't spell it with the spell check and it's even worse now when we went to school we had all kinds of Jewish friends black friends we didn't care this is all made up stuff and it's sad we the people of the United States not of every region around the world cuz those places suck
Hey I just gave myself a thumbs up yay
True that
Community Colleges are having problems right now too. Especially in California.
@@nudetayne727 I’m sorry to hear that… I haven’t really paid attn in years. I know that my 2 yr degree allowed me to work anywhere in the world and retire w a 6 figure income. (not to mention no loans/debt) ☮️
Is this the kind of deans and school leaders America have? Shameful!
What do you want them to do?
@@jorgeponce6408 respond to antisemetic attacks and threats

These are also the kinda people molding the young minds of the future and turning the youth hateful on their parents dime...
Sadly, at the zenith of her academic and professional journey, an African-American woman overlooks the movements and principles that paved the way for her current standing, forsaking essential values such as morality, decency, and common sense. It is disheartening that the legacy she leaves implies the acceptability of racism, discrimination, hate speech, and vitriol. Claudine Gay, it should not be so hard to condemn antisemitism.
The president of MIT is Jewish and gave very similar answers- I don’t think this has anything to do with the ethnic background of these women. They all condemned anti-semitism, said students deserve to feel safe on campus, and also championed the right of free speech on campus as integral as long as it didn’t qualify as harassment or bullying based on context. I think their responses are all just very careful and practiced which comes across as unfeeling.
@@WhostolemyOvariesNo it does she might fear for her life as well
They scream Intifada is an Arabic word literally meaning, as a noun, "tremor", "shivering", "shuddering". It is derived from an Arabic term nafada meaning "to shake", "shake off", "get rid of", as a dog might shrug off water, or as one might shake off sleep, or dirt from one's sandals.
@@WhostolemyOvariesthere is a difference between words and actions. There’s a difference between free speech and hate speech. There’s a difference between discussion and calling for genocide. There’s a difference between enabling and tolerance. It’s the obligation of an university to teach these simple principles. Especially at Ivy League universities. In Germany we have been taught that in basic school.
There’s a conspicuous absence of men. I don’t trust that these women were hired based on merit. How could I? I’d have to be brain dead. Social Justice is in direct opposition to merit. What a farce, a dangerous farce. Higher education is in decline; Western Civilization is in decline. You can thank the Left!
2:41:03 Unacceptable that that Dr. Gay is lying and refuses to answer from congress. She is a shame and should be sued
You are totally correct!
Palestinian students being shot foreign scarf 🧣 yet Jewish students feeling hurt for free speech comments..
Nope. Just fire her @@S

a wise choice 👍
Same because I’m Jewish

@@strugglingcollegestudent 🇺🇸🇮🇱this is USA we deserve better leaders for our kids
I haven't taken Harvard seriously since i heard that Bush Jr. went there.
International funding and ALL FUNDING must be halted. America will not tolerate the hatred of our beloved Jewish people.
Universities in the US have lost their moral compass
what!
It is so hard and painful to believe that this is now the US top high school answers. Either they support this or they are afraid.
most humans truly do get brainwashed. it is a challenge for our character to stay the course and think for ourselves. it saddens me to see soooo many people end up supporting this or staying silent. all because of fear. even though hamas killed so many innocent lives, no one wants to talk about it because of what its tied to. but when its the jewish people, people are ready to talk. it makes me wonder who TRULY cares! or who just wants to TALK and be angry on a bandwagon. idk
95% of higher ed is bs. Your money goes to admin, not the people teaching. And they’re not teaching, they’re giving you their opinion. I paid for a degree from a reputable college for a bunch of Professors to tell me what I should think and that my grades depend on it. This whole house of cards is crashing.
I believe, they are both
You're right, these universities do behave like high schools🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jews claim to be the chosen people and just like their Christ was crucified by the Romans for his false ego, so they too will be crucified for their false ego. I don't say this with vitriol or hatred for them, I am just pointing out cause and effect, the most basic natural law.
The smiles on their faces and their rehearsed responses is very disappointing - I cannot believe they couldn’t even admit they did the wrong thing
These holier than thou warriors think they are doing what is right. Victim supremacists. Free speech for some, silence the others. Meanwhile in Ontario skool board are burning Fahrenheit 451
Liars can do no wrong in their own mind.
Why is it these people cant answer a simple question with a simple answer? It would be so refreshing to hear them say they know about the problems and are working on solutions.
Last time I checked calling for genocide of one people was called hate speech n leading to the holocaust. But what should a German know about enablers and bystanders of genocide?!
You would think, right?
Exactly
last time I checked someone doing genocide was labeled as a criminal but America is supporting Israel in actually committing genocide.
@@thesabiqoon4178 last time I checked radical Islamists are committing genocide in Israel since Oct 7 and in Sudan they do it to the black people. Maybe you check a dictionary to understand the difference between genocide and war.
Harvard used to be the gold standard. No more!
not to mention several faculty members faked their own research.
Simple answer make your hires from non antisemitic universities if they are from any named universities PASS.
How TF did this women get this position at Harvard??
It's pretty obvious (had nothing to do with her credentials).
DEI
How is this any different then ignorant rhetoric
how do you think she got it🤷🏽♀️
She didn’t say anything wrong.. search the meaning of Intifada.. throwing a bunch of arabic words & saying they mean something is shameful! Intifada means resistance it’s no where near genocide!
I am disgusted by all of them.
A bunch of bitter feminists.
This is unbelievable. Hatred of Jews at these universities, like in many other areas of society is so widespread it is sickening.

@@lilybond6485Because he’s a Muslim obviously
@georgekazanchyan4976 you can take that opinion of yours and shove it

They were not educated on the Holocaust. Take them all to a Holocaust Museum.
The smile on Mcgills face from Penn when asked if calling for the genocide of Jews… - spooky
👺👺👺👺👺👹 very spooky
It's a leadership trick. In such a situation, you don't want to seem antagonistic or nervous, and it softens your voice your nonsense is easier to swallow.
She issued a statement I believe today… must have heard from some donors, the board and alumni.
Some people are not worth cleaning my toilet, and they are the president of those resisted students.
2:39:19 She is good. Now those university presidents HAVE TO BE FIRED, Period.
My God, how confused can a this university president be?
How low and dark is the academic world gone.
Makes me sad.
I'm tired of the structural racism in the "dark metaphor"... Does dark mean bad in your language? That is racist! Tired of the dark metaphor! Dark does not equal bad. Stop the racist language!
@@kusheran😂
05:04:19 For those of you not patient enough to get this far...watch...The statement itself IS the context.
Spot on!
So these ivy League schools tell their students, that it's absolutely okay to call for genocide of a certain group of people, as long as there is no action. WOW
Holy crap I would not believe this if I didn't see it.
Thank you i was scrolling through for this highlighted moment.
Notice how sneakily she used “calls for intifada” to directly equate it to calling Jewish Genocide.
Yikes
president gay should be investigated arrested prosecuted and jailed
Claudine Gay - "it depends on the context" - How about if we change the question to read "Blacks". instead of "Jews"? Under what context is it possible to call for the genocide of Blacks and not violate Harvard's standards? "If it becomes converted into action?" So you it's"just words" until someone gets hurt? What an embarrassment> I didn't notice if anyone asked how much money each of these schools receive from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other oil rich countries. I'm wondering if these schools are "owned" by the Arabs.
Yes the question was asked and they had no answers but the Congress person who asked had them. These "administrators" ought to be ashamed of themselves.
What a great point.
False equivalence
The "call for genocide" refers to "from the river to the sea" or wtv
There's no opportunity to place the word {black} or {gew} anywhere
So
Facts
Sorry I wasn't clear. "Lynching of Blacks" in this context, IS equivalent to "killing members of an ethnic group BECAUSE of their ethnicity". In my example, members are "Blacks" but in the question posed to Gay, "Jews". They are either both morally reprehensible or both "context dependent." Waiting until that escalates into conduct is equally morally reprehensible. I was just bringing the subject a bit closer to home for Gay, since she didn't seem to get it when it concerned Jews. As suggested by Steve Pinker, Gay holds her position at Harvard because of DEI. Full stop. It's an embarrassment.. @@OctavianAsix
At least there's been a congressional hearing on this issue! Without it, these university presidents wouldn't raise an eyebrow or a finger to actually do anything to address the idiotic hatred that "enlightened" students and professors on these campuses are perpetuating.
So, let me get it straight.
They don't do a process of examination and declining speakers that are being invited to their universities.
At most they will issue a statement against rethorics they do not agree with but will still give them a stage and time to educate their students in those subjects.
So, it seems to me that if someone were to invite Hitler to speak at their university they wouldn't deny him his stage and in the best case they will just make a statement that they don't agree with his views.
But will still provide him with the stage and time to educate and poison their students with his views.
No wonder they are a thriving ground for the epidemic of antisemitism and hate.
They sure don’t. Did Kim Kardashian give a speech at Harvard last year?
Disallowing speakers roles radicalism more than hearing the insane ideas of idiot speakers. Let an idiot speak and it will be clear why people should not following in step.
You got it all backwards. People aren't at risk by hearing dumb ideas, they are at risk of adopting dumb ideas when there's a conspiracy to suppress those ideas in plain sight.
Hearings are a waste of time - no one is ever heald accountable. Dr Claudine Gay likley will have a very different opinion if certain hateful / shameful / words are directed towards her. What a sick contradiction! Those in power care not for the people. SHAME ON HARVARD!!!
Truly disgusting! Double standards.
Since you singled out Dr. Gay, I assume you're referring to her skin color. She was asked specifically about protests against blacks and she gave the same answer/non-answer as she gave for the anti-semitism questions. There are definitely double-standards at Harvard/Penn/MIT, but I didn't see evidence of a double-standard from Dr. Gay, specifically.
@@afreiden Then you didnt listen! The entire comment about "CONTEXT" is the issue! Hateful speach is hateful in ALL context unless you think like a liberal
😂😂 This is the President of Harvard University. 😂 She doesn’t know how to answer a question. Harvard is now the K-Mart of Universities. Lol Save your money parents.
Amen !!!
Harvard endowment is $60 billion or something, they invest in everything and their network is vast af. So they’re not going to be blackmailed by money, they’re swimming in it and can have their own code of ethics they themselves enforce without external pressure (Harvard board are the real power players, not the dean )🫡
You mean K. Marx perhaps? Yes, not a joke
@@mariushancu4422so true!!!
Oh she does, she doesn’t want to publicly admit that harvard, like a few other ivys is working directly with the Qatari gov to build campuses over there, in exchange for HUGE amounts of money and limited Qatari influence in some select classroom curriculum.
So Hitler should not be lectured until he commits crimes? I guess I need to become an Harvard graduate to understand this.🤪
I don't understand!!, what kind of stupid directors the universities have?
I suggest starting at 05:04:19 to listen to their final stance, THEN come back and start at 13:21 to really understand all the BS coming out of their mouths. It's pathetic to hear their pre-written statement that makes them seem like champions of the world, yet when under fire they crumble and their true ignorance comes out.
Thank you! I wasn't sure just where to go in the 5 hours here and you helped pin it down. Very helpful!
So true! That pre-written statement is full of empty words.
Yep, Gay admits to the antisemitism on the Harvard campus, but she can't admit it when questioned, and she refuses to say that she failed to hold those students accountable for their actions. Free speech does not allow for the call of violence against others. Violence doesn't solve anything.
It's beyond embaracing that not one of these "scholars" can produce a clear and firm sentence on the matter. Can't state the obvious, can't differ simple right from simple wrong. How can these be the educators of tommorrow? It's clearly the age of small people.
They are politicians in campuses. They are not educators!
embarrassing
It is tough to be a student at many of the colleges and universities in this day in age and be identified as a devout Jew, Evangelical Christian or devout Catholic.
Really? I have plenty of Jewish friends protesting right alongside us, recognizing the war crimes comitted by the state of Israel and their illegal apartheid state.
@@virno69420never saw a generation of students this ignorant and brainwashed.
@@valkyriaKelly You mean educated? If you believe Israel isn't committing genocide and violating international law you're objectively wrong.
@virno2434 if Hamas would have killed 1000 Americans do you believe the US would offer a ceasefire or care about proportionality? The primary attack strategy of US is "shock and awe!" Isn't hypocritical for the US to ask Israel to do something the US wouldn't?
@@johnirby8847 I'd condemn US War crimes and genocide as well? Your point is irrelevant.
There's a few key differences between the war crimes of the US empire in the past and what's happening now, the 1st being the US was THE global superpower who can do whatever they want without answering to anyone.
Israel is not a superpower, it is fully contigent on the support of the US, that means we can change what's happening now.
Good lord - don’t these presidents have crisis communications professionals?
All of them should he fired ASAP.
This are the people who shape the young and future mind, and having such antisemitism has no place for eduction system.
List their names.
Never forget.
Pls explain to me why a student has to give their political and religious views to attend a school. As long as a person is respectful and not fueling hate, condescension, or bullying actions. Will giving such info become part of job and college applications requirements going forward?
The central question starts and ends at 6:14
The university presidents have the responsibilty outlined at 8:31
The universities seem incapable of differentiating free speech from hate speech, or are unable to police it. Worse, they seem reluctant to enforce the university's position and govern student behavior when transgressions occur. The chairwoman states that the university atmosphere and culture seems to be rotting, not welcoming and inclusive, partly due to poor choices in faculty members.
if Congress actually wanted to improve the situation, that is, counter bias in society, it would promote unbiased hiring, unbiased admissions, and most importantly, encourage quality high school history education and support free speech everywhere in society.
No such thing as “hate speech”. Speech is just speech. The adjective of hate is subjective not objective.
@@pineapplegirl8078100%. No one can be forced to commit a crime just by speaking. The person who commits the crime has the responsibility for the act.
Deceitful liars! They should all be fired or resign.
Politicians trying to get concrete answers from the heads of the universities. They get to taste how their voters feel when the politicians speak in generic terms all the time.
Whoa! This should be a serious wake up call.
This is ridiculous.We need change in our universities and we have to stop foreign money in these universities
It depends. Money are good, they cannot dictate though
Why would any foreign body donate to American universities and ask for nothing in return😑
HAHAHA the "foreign money" in these Universities is predominantly from Pro-Israeli lobbyists that aren't required to register as foreign entities.
The money has nothing to do with protecting the 1st amendment rights of their students to criticize their government funding a genocide.
Yes, all these diverse subjects which fuse hatred. Too much leeway in America.
Expelled! Absolutely they should be expelled but ohoh then 300 million dollars gets withdrawn.
2:47:34 Foreign student are mainly a strong ressource of revenue for Harvard, $1.5B from middle east as mentioned earlier… So, do you really believe that Dr gay will expel any muslim misconducting on the campus?
Then the Government should revoke their visas immediately... Simple.
That woman is evil…the entire institution is corrupt. I feel these schools are breeding grounds for terrorism on our own soil.
@@musiqueetmontagnewhat did they do?? Their visas should be revoked just because of their country of origin?
@@jonoaks9834no, because they run around chanting death to Jews and supporting terrorism- pretty sure that’s against that documents they signed when they got their visa…

Every alumni should sue every one of the schools for devaluing their diploma.
Shut down all these colleges
Harvard, yale, nyu,.....
To say that " calling for the genocide of jews", which is incitement to violence, which is harassment, which is basically one of the most horrendous statements a person can make, which is an obvious example of hate speech, would need to depend on context in order to be considered hate speech or a violation of codes of conduct? That is SUCH an academic BS response. Something a lawyer or postmodern philosopher would say. Super sad. And obviously wrong.
And the funniest part is, its them OBVIOUSLY attempting to not say the wrong thing by being vague about it. " oh we dont know what that would be, it would depend on context and an investigation and a bunch of people to figure out if " calling for the genocide of a minority" violates university policies.". They dug their own grave.
And whats EVEN FUNNIER is,
Ms . Gray ended up saying in her apology that she should have followed her heart and say what her innerself wanted to say. So she admits that she wasnt answering the way a normal human being with emotion, morals and a soul would answer.
Rather, she decided to say what the faceless, godless, and completely morally void president of an academic facility would say..... " it depends on context"
So... Harvard accepts gifts from the Palestinian Authority... but they dont accept gifts from entities that dont align with their mission.... Very interesting admission!
@ approx. 4 hours 50 mins.
The PA advocates for peaceful resistance; they are literally Western puppets... Americans truly are the most critically-thinking in the world; wow. Indeed, basic research is a crime.
Im sick and tired of these demonstrators send them home
No one is calling for genocide
Who are these girls screaming for INTIFADA! They don’t look like students attending college there. Who these people are has to be investigated
Hate and bigotry is a society problem, but your Universities contain the top 1% academic students that will be our world leaders in business, government, and communities. We need These important students to need to have the control, kindness, respect, of all humans on earth. Right now, we are not seeing the Ivy League being tough on racism nor antisemitism, what a shame and an outrage in today’s America 🇺🇸
I think your hopes may be nice but get real: I knew alot of guys that went to ivy league schools, and none of them were "tough on racism" or screened on the basis of their potential biases or lack thereof, moreover its impossible to do so in practice. These schools attempt screen for character by looking over recommendations with applications, but students that go to ivy leagues dont apply with negative recommendations eg 'this guy is an anti semite' !
I think you may be right! Ivy League students have never been in schools or classrooms K-12 with diverse student populations economically. They have no idea what other people go through or struggle with in life, no sympathy.
Defund those Universities.
Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov warned us about this back in the 1980s.
Cancelled for stating biological facts of gender; but allowed to have antisemitic hate speech. This is the direction the left is taking us. Vote wisely.
Harvard President needs to be let go IMMEDIATELY
All of them
So calling for the genocide of black people is ok unless its dependent on conduct ?! Can someone explain this to me? I guess im not smart enough for this ivy league universities...
1:19 "1% of Harvards faculty voted for President Trump." This does not sound like a very diverse university.
Harvard's faculty are not chosen for their political views. Only a small percentage of them teach politics. Many are scientists, mathematicians, linguists, etc.
Why are you assuming that voting for Trump is equally as reasonable as voting against Trump?
@@dianafinch3134 it is obvious that the campus and faculty have are all liberal. That does have an effect on how students are taught in numerous subjects. It speaks volumes that only 1% of the faculty is conservative.
There's so many issues with using this as a metric of faculty diversity
35:09 The problem is that it’s imposible to be critical of the Israeli government if people keep conflicting Israel with Jewish people. Being critical of the state Israel is not hating Jews.
Anti Zionism is anti semitism. Period! Palestinians and their hate proved that bet well to the whole world.
Pls resign save some dignity. Can we cancel Ms Gay? Ik my kid won’t apply there
My heart broke after this bunch of hypocrites
Note the chairwoman asked them if Israel deserves to exist as a Jewish state and they all responded they believe it deserves to exist but made no notation as to a “Jewish” country….
Jerusalem does not belong to Israel. And Jews have no right to occupy territory illegally. You have no right infringe on the rights of Muslims access Jerusalem.
This is pure lip service they recycle the same 3 answers what an embarrassment
The president of these universities need to be fired. The people corporations need to stop donating for the next four years no exceptions.
These representatives take “intifada” and “Free Palestine” as antisemitic? What is wrong with this country?!
this whole hearing is insane
Ms Stefanik racially profiled and was very condescending to Dr Gay, which makes me wonder whether her hate for antisemitism was born of general hate for bigotry and racism or out of sectional interests
Ms. Stefanik the best!!!
Britain and France kicked off this problem during WW1 and it lead to there being a melting pot of multiple recipes for disaster, culturally and religiously that has had a foul domino effect not only in the Middle East but around the world. Regardless of your ethnic group, religious beliefs, sexuality, sexual preference we must be BETTER as human beings and treat each other as such.
Sad and dark, they will be held accountable!
I'm tired of the structural racism in the "dark metaphor"... Does dark mean bad in your language? That is racist! Tired of the dark metaphor! Dark does not equal bad. Stop the racist language!
Is Israel being held accountable for the illegal occupation? Nope.
I agree the UN secretary general and the UN general assembly USA representative will be called to account.

All these university Presidents should resigned without any severance pay. Their answers are an insult to our intelligence.What a waste of time and taxpayers money. i cannot believe all these University Presidents just get a slap on the wrist. They don't even admit their wrong doing and their evasion to answer simple questions is proof they would not be making any difference if they carry on. With this kind of useless decision by Congress, no wonder there is no need for admission of guilt. How come there is no vote to call the resignation of these Presidents?
This discussion sounds so depressing like a throw back to medieval ideas from the dark age.... Education is supposed to enlighten the intellect not make it moronic and fearful.... What a facade!
Harvard, MIT and Penn should be forced to close. Their continued existence as institutions of learning is a national disgrace.
All pro-Israel lobbyists must be forced to file as entities working for a foreign government. Their continued existence as institutions of corruption is a national disgrace on our foundational democractic secular beliefs.
They need to fine these universities and tax their endowments as their inability to protect civil rights
Fine them for what?
The civil right they should be prioritized with protecting is the 1st amendment right to free speech, government is attempting to silence dissent.
@@virno69420Didn't the ACLU used to protect the civil right of neonazis to free speech? The OP's suggestion that censoring protests is protecting the "civil rights" of anyone is a pretty poor choice of words.
My kids will not join that college based on their principles.
I do not like any restrictions on speech at universities. But I do believe that it cannot be conducted in a way that makes it impossible to respond (loud speakers, chanting, drowning out the reply).
Anything that “can” lead to actions of hate and racism. Is this so hard to understand?
Do you think that calling death to Zionists, etc…, doesn’t bring violence? What about screaming “death to Russia”, would that not lead to violence? I think it’s obvious what kind of language leads to “actions”!
If in doubt, maybe desist? Maybe universities should stay out of one sided controversies? To report both sides, to do cold historical research, is SO important rather than creating hateful rhetoric.
If we’re just opinions about Zionism or peaceful debate, it’s actually encouraged. When writing a one way letter condemning Israel at the time that Hamas killed over one thousand people without condemning Hamas, it’s beyond not acceptable!
They’ve been preventing any “free” speech they don’t agree with for years now.
Well said
Ive been an academic for35 years and i am horrified, not only at what is happening at these elite institutions, but also everywhere in higher education. The scourge of wokeness has taken over many faculties and administrations, with the result that students are only ever exposed to one point of view. If you're a faculty member, pushing back against the official dogma will get you fired or, at least, cancelled or denied promotion. Universities in the US have lost the the idea of the Academy.
I never thought I’d live to see the day where there would be any antisemitism let alone to this degree. Especially after the holocaust, this is absolutely disgusting!!! I’m ashamed of my country and how the mighty have fallen. Wow! God please have mercy on us. There are many who still support and love Israel and the jewish people! And we will always condemn any antisemitism!
Why do you love israel?
as everyone knows but not all accept, Palestine has been wrecked and oppressed for decades by Israel. Im amazed that there hasnt been alot more agitation and protests against this in the ivy leagues
Why would think that when the British created a country and stole territory in the name of Israel. They have allowed ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The Ethiopians were sterilized by Israelis. Wake up! There are many that support the Palestinians right to exist without apartheid.
@@rd264ok so how was Palestine created, and who created Palestine… and from what event (colonialism)
also is it true Muhammad respected the legacy of Jesus, who was born a jew in Israel… bruh
I am beyond shocked too. How is this even possible. Makes me wonder if these people chanting even know what they are chanting. Or if they are just sheep chanting for sake of chanting. Makes me sick.
Follow the money. Qatar sponsors both HAMAS and the US universities(
When is speech not conduct? Spouting antisemitic rhetoric literally means conducting yourself in a hateful way towards others. These ladies gotta go.
why should these ladies go?
a speech is just words. hateful speech is protected [not prohibited] by the 1st A.
conduct is action, but only harmful action runs afoul of the law, such as battery at a protest march eg what happened at UVA.
In this times we live in, anything you say now can be consider antisemitic.
If this was about LGBTQ, these college leaders would have an entirely different take. When I think about Palestinians, I remember Munich in the Summer of 1972. The calling for the destruction of Israel and the genocide of Jews is a call to violence. There is no way that inciting violence, which these schools are allowing, can be considered protected. Once you call for genocide, and rally around that idea, you have just yelled "fire" in a crowded theatre. I was fortunate to have received my Bachelor's and Master's degrees online, where I could focus on academics, and not what my fellow student's believe about unrelated issues or worrying about someone wanting me dead. All students should be afforded the opportunity to study in an environment that fosters knowledge.
Yeah, saying from the river to the sea is just calling for their expulsion is like saying that Hitler calling for the elimination of Jewish people from Europe was *just* a call to boot them to another continent. Well maybe, but look at what they did when they didn't get their way. There's inherently a lot of hatred behind a statement like that. Potentially genocidal hatred. It sets gears in motion we don't want to be ticking.
THANK G-D this is be addressed!!
No its not its BS. And unless they are removed nothing changes just window dressing!
We are committed... we are committed... until these meetings end.
It kind of funny that at 3:09:50 this guy is complaining about campus safety when they constantly ignore campus shootings in America. They don’t care when kids are gunned down. So how can they expect Harvard to guarantee anyone’s safety.
3:29:42 This man hit the nail right on the head!
wow, yes. amazing speech
The congressional hearing was viewed over 1 Billion times. The world is disgusted by the universities behaviour. The US is calling for their resignations. I totally agree.
I did not want my views to be impacted by network news soundbites, so I sat with my cup of coffee this morning and watched the entire hearing (minus the recess, of course) and I also agree that the 587 years of Harvard and the other "elite" institutions have failed in their mission(s) to educate. These university presidents filled a time sensitive moment and now their time is up. They each need to render resignations effective immediately. I have a child at the law school of one of these institutions and I do not speak frivolously on this matter.
@@valgrex964 You must be very concerned of the potential indoctrination of your child at this late point in their upbringing/education. I would love to hear your thoughts on that. What a double edged sword. Congratulations on your exceptional student. ☮️
@@chattsignal Thank you for being insightful on this matter because it is true that I am quite concerned. Yes, there was pride of the accomplishment of getting in, of achieving the "high passes" (grades) necessary to secure a significant position upon graduation to check off the financial security at the other end. All this has been done....but at what cost. There are moments when I feel as if the indoctrination has captured my child to a "side" that prevents us from connecting on. We are a conservative family with an indoctrinated, liberal young adult. It's very hard to reconcile those positions to come back to a place of family unity. I never would have thought that this level of breach would be possible in a prior generation, but here we are.
Nope, you mean it was PLAYED however many times
No one cares🤷🏿♂️ except youz
And youz control the media so yes, it's on repeat
But notice that no one cares
no US college is a source of anti semitism and none condone it. @@valgrex964
well well well... did they really think we as Americans were going to sit back and let these kind of people protest for terror? BIG MISTAKE!!!
Disgusting this is what happens when you allow politics to matter in every situation
People don't understand the meaning of "yes or no"?
Intifada is no where near the meaning “genocide” .. you cannot define a word if you do not know what it means!
Its use does historically seem to have been directed at colonial governments. However, Gazans are not under Israeli rule but Hamas'. They want the land back, not freedom.
I take more exception with the river to the sea slogan. It's saying they want it all. No room for Jewish people. Free from what?
Anyway, they should have started with saying calls for genocide are prohibited and then gone into explanations about why they think those slogans are not that.
Lips service. I am sorry that the Harvard président could not say anything else than a semblance of a I plead the 5th. No wonder our kids are fanatics. Shame.
Why does the President of Penn State, Ms. McGill, always have a smirk on her face?
Ivy: Touching its sap alone can cause contact or allergic contact dermatitis, which is a very itchy-and uncomfortable-rash. Contact with English ivy can also cause swelling and shortness of breath.
The end of democracy
Shame! Shame! Shame! You need to close this establishments! They lost their credibility
When asked about ideological diverstiy on campuses , the response was that there is racial diversity.
Racial diversity is not the same as ideological diversity. This hearing is because certain Ideologies have now been shown to create antisemitism. As a person observing from a neutral stance.
The numbers show that colleges with very high levels of liberal/leftist proffesors create high levels of antisemitism and pro terrorist/sympathising on campuses. The numbers dont lie and the proof is in the pudding. Should those colleges lose funding unless they have ideological diversity which means including more Conservitive proffesors and views ?
I feel the blame is also on the conservatives for not having a stronger push and clearer voices to respresent and push back on the subject. The left is fighting a much fiercer ideologcal war and conservatives seem to be very laid back based on the numbers that over 90% are liberal proffessors and 2% are conservative in this particular case , that represents the pattern at other colleges.
Does this also mean there is a clear connection between the political leftist ideology and antisemistim/pro terrorism/ mob violence and weak law enforcement? Help me understand
Can you elaborate on “the pro terrorist/sympathizing on campuses” I am confused on what they means. Does it mean they actively support terrorist activities or do they support the cause behind the activities
If possible can I get a citation or some general search direction on how you got that conclusion, it sounds like an interesting read so I wanna read it for myself lol.
I have to be honest here, I had no idea that the left had this level of love and support for Hamas and Palestine. I am simply flabbergasted at the antics of these groups. I graduated from a private Catholic college in 2003 and this display of hate against Israel blows my mind. I thought the people of the US we’re supporters of the Jewish people, not allies of known terrorist groups.
That means they support Hamas/Palestine
Wiki Hamas
1.5 billion dollars to Harvard?!???
And expect nothing in return???
whats and there are not many resources.
This is really appalling and shameful to see such kind of leadership in these BIG universities. Utterly shocking and shameful. They should all resign or be sacked. No honor no morality nor integrity. They don’t deserve our kids.
