Excerpt: This is the Final Report of the Presidential Task Force on Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Israeli Bias.
This report summarizes the findings of the Task Force’s study of conditions at Harvard University. We gathered oral and written documentation between March and September 2024, and we devoted the rest of 2024 and beginning of 2025 to writing the report. Our work involved meeting with hundreds of students, faculty, and staff in listening sessions for specific segments of the campus community as well as private conversations with individuals. We also met with members of the wider Harvard community, including alumni. In our outreach, we spoke with non-Jews, American Jews, and Jewish and Arab citizens of the State of Israel within the Harvard community.
Nothing like a report about how many Jewish students are discriminated against at Harvard to get the antisemites to circle their wagons in defense, attempting to change the subject to “Israel.”
They obviously haven’t read the report.
What a disgrace. Fraudulently pushing the narrative that protests against genocide is antisemitism. Your other blatant fraud is claiming that “Jewish students don’t feel comfortable on campus.” If you only talk to Ziionist extremist genocide promoters, who are somehow deluded into thinking they are Jews in good standing, and literally NEVER talk with the significant percentage of Jewish students who actively against the genocide, of course you will get that distorted story. That PFS presents itself as an advocate of press speech while engaged in a multi-moth campaign to enable a blatant genocide campaign against civilians on behalf of a foreign country is despicable beyond words. In its current form PFS does not represent free speech, Princetonians or even the interests of American citizens.
By the way, why is that unlike most non-profits, you consistently leave details about your major donors blank on your IRS forms? Yes, technicalities legal permit it. Decency does not. If the major donors are proud of their blank check support of Israeli’s genocide operations, then why don’t they want their names known to the public?
This seems the opposite of free speech; seems this is a “Woke Right” report. It uses Jewish identity and its protection as weapons against criticism of Israel.
Princetonians for Free speech should lambast the producers of this report and those would block circumspection about US and Princeton support for Israel.

Of all the stupid ideas that have emerged in recent years, there may be none worse than the insistence that unwelcome words are the same as violence. This false perception equates physical acts that can injure or kill people with disagreements and insults that might cause hurt feelings and potentially justifies responding to the latter with the former.
After all, if words are violence, why not rebut a verbal sparring partner with an actual punch? Unfortunately, the idea is embedded on college campuses where a majority of undergraduate students agree that words and violence can be the same thing.

The University of California, Berkeley, suspended lecturerPeyrin Kao without pay for the spring semester because he made pro-Palestinian political comments during class.
Kao, a lecturer in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department, participated in a 38-day hunger strike this fall to protest the use of technology in what he called Israel’s genocide in Gaza. He allegedly told students during class that he was undergoing a “starvation diet” and directed them to his website to learn more about why he was striking.

As promised in a memo from the chancellor earlier this month, some Texas Tech University system faculty members were asked this week to report whether any course they teach “advocates for or promotes” specific race, gender or sexual identities. It is the latest step in a sweeping curricular review focused on limiting discussion of transgender identity, racism and sexuality across the five-campus public system.

They are really trying to conflate cricism of Israel and anti-semitism. I mean its in the title! Israel comes up over 1,800 mentions. While they should NOT allow inappropriate protests or anti-semitism. Criticism of Israel or anti-Israel bias is not the same.
They even used an Israeli professor as an example of “anti-semitism”. She wrote an article in the British journal, The Guardian:
“I’m an Israeli professor. Why is my work in Harvard’s antisemitism report?
