On Friday, Harvard University announced the formation of an anti-Semitism
task force to be co-chaired by a professor who was also one of many
signatories to a letter last August that accused Israel of an “illegal
occupation of millions of Palestinians” and forcing Palestinians to live
“under a regime of apartheid.” The letter also accused the current Israeli
government of a “messianic, homophobic, and misogynistic agenda” and endorsed
a “Demand from elected leaders in the United States that they … restrict
American military aid from being used in the Occupied Palestinian
Territories.”

that @Israel is a racist, #Jewish Supremacist apartheid state is
appointed co-chair of @Harvard’s Presidential Task Force on Combating
#Antisemitism.

Harvard University – the rot of antisemitism at the disgraced school
sinks to a new low as Derek Penslar, a member of the school’s task
force to FIGHT antisemitism, is outted for calling Israel an
apartheid regime.

Harvard naming Derek Penslar as co-chair of their Task Force on
Antisemitism makes as much sense and inspires as much confidence
as the U.N. announcement the day before that Ayatollah Khamenei's
regime will assume the Presidency of the Conference on Disarmament.

Derek Penslar, the William Lee Frost Professor of Jewish History in the
Faculty of Arts and Sciences, also published a book titled “Zionism: An
Emotional State” in which he stated that “veins of hatred run through Jewish
civilization” in reference to Biblical narrative.

“Prof Penslar has publicly minimized Harvard’s anti-Semitism problem,
rejected the definition used by the US government in recent years of anti-
Semitism as too broad, invoked the need for the concept of settler
colonialism in analyzing Israel, referred to Israel as an apartheid state and
more,” former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers wrote on X, adding, “None
of this in my view is problematic for a professor at Harvard or even for a
member of the task force but for the co-chair of an anti-Semitism task force
that is being paralleled with an Islamophobia task force it seems highly
problematic.”

Author Ira Stoll stated that Penslar in a “December 29, 2023 Crimson op-ed,
criticized the International Holocaust Remembrance Association definition of
antisemitism and endorsed two alternative definitions. The IHRA definition
was backed by the Trump and Biden administrations and is included in federal
Department of Education guidance (which Penslar omitted from his op-ed).”

Background on Derek Penslar, Harvard professor named today by interim
president Alan Garber as co-chair of an antisemitism task force. I
think Penslar is a terrible selection to co-chair this task force.
Here is why: 1) Signed August 4, 2023 “Elephant in the Room” letter
about…

“Harvard continues on the path of darkness,” billionaire investor Bill
Ackman, who helped lead the charge against former Harvard President Claudine
Gay, tweeted. Penslar defended Gay after she had testified before Congress
and avoided answering whether calling for the genocide of Jews violated
Harvard’s codes of conduct, saying, “It can be, depending on the context.”

Harvard has turned into a national joke.
Investors and benefactors are leaving in droves as even they object to the twisted woke ideology
that Harvard promotes.
