On Monday, The Jerusalem Post posted an article about some of the consequences of anti-Semitism at Harvard University. Spoiler alert–there are no negative consequences.
The article reports:
In October 2023, Ibrahim Bharmal and Elom Tettey-Tamaklo surrounded a Jewish student named Yoav Segev and covered him with keffiyehs while shouting “Shame! Shame! Shame!”
One of two Harvard students who assaulted a Jewish classmate during an anti-Israel protest in October 2023 has been appointed as class marshal by Harvard Divinity School at the upcoming graduation ceremony.
This comes just three weeks after the other assailant was awarded a $65,000 Harvard Law School fellowship to work at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
The Harvard Law Review website says its $65,000 fellowship goes to recent Harvard Law School graduates “with a demonstrated interest in serving the public interest through their work and scholarship.”
Just to refresh your memory– CAIR was founded in 1994. CAIR is listed among the unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation Trial. It was included as an unindicted co-conspirator because it was involved in funding Hamas.
The article notes:
In October 2023, Ibrahim Bharmal and Elom Tettey-Tamaklo surrounded a Jewish student named Yoav Segev and covered him with keffiyehs while shouting “Shame! Shame! Shame!” as he tried to free himself and said “don’t touch me.”
While Bharmal and Tettey-Tamaklo originally faced a criminal trial, Boston Municipal Court Judge Stephen W. McClenon dismissed the charges at the end of April, instead ordering them to attend “pre-trial diversion” anger management courses and perform 80 hours of community service.
Rewarding violence is not acceptable. I wonder what the response would have been if the violence had been against a black student. Harvard has totally lost any credibility as an institute of higher learning. Instead, it has become a home for those in our country who refuse to learn the lessons of history.
