Harvard Capitulates to Anti-Semitism

Anti-Israel BDS (boycott, divestment, sanction) movement on campus, SodaStream

As a Harvard graduate, class of 1974, I am thoroughly disgusted by the Harvard Administration’s cowardly capitulation to the anti-Israel BDS (boycott, divestment, sanction) movement on campus.

As reported recently by the Harvard Crimson (Harvard’s daily student-run newspaper), since April 2014, Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS) stopped purchasing SodaStream machines (do-it-yourself soda and water machines which are owned and manufactured by an Israeli-based company). Since that time HUDS also agreed to remove SodaStream labels from existing water-filtering machines currently installed in the dining halls of many Harvard-Radcliffe residences, or Houses.

As a Harvard graduate...

I'm glad we got that out of the way. In the first four words.

Harvard has a long history of antisemitism, so this is not exactly surprising.

They had anti-Jewish quotas long before affirmative action was the law.

Liberals wanted dead cops they got it...in addition to wanting dead Jews in addition to wanting everyone else dead who doesn’t subscribe to their beliefs. This is why they love radical Islam so much. Um...call me crazy, but maybe it’s time to kick the asses of these mofos?

With all the Jews paying tuition at Harvard how can this happen. The Harvard Jews should BDS the University, the anti Semitic Bastards.

They also had quotas on Jewish faculty. Paul Samuelson, who earned his Ph.D at Harvard and was publishing first rate scholarly articles when he was 22, could not get a job there.
The economics department already had one Jewish faculty member. So he went to MIT and the rest is history.

Who’s the Chancellor of Harvard, Reinhard Heydrich?

Definitely anti-Semitic but also incredibly “cheap and hypocritical” as they removed the labels from the machines but did not throw the machines out.

I've seen it written more than once that Harvard,not too many years ago,had a policy of limiting Jewish enrollment...a policy,IIRC,that was carried out with a wink and a nod.

Looks like they've basically come full circle...without the wink *or* the nod.
