Depends on the context': 10 Memes that shamed Harvard, Penn and MIT for being equivocal on antisemitism
First Post ^ | December 8, 2023 | FP Staff

US Congress has launched a probe into anti-Semitism at three top universities – Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania and MIT, but social media is also on rage, expressing their anger over these schools which have allegedly failed to tackle the “rampant antisemitism” on their campuses after the Hamas’ 7 October attack on Israel and the subsequent Israeli invasion of Gaza.

The presidents of all these three universities have been facing backlash over their testimony Tuesday on rising antisemitism on campus since the 7 October Hamas attack.

The investigation has been launched by the Education Committee after the leaders of these three universities quibbled over whether student protests calling for the genocide of Jews amounted to harassment and violated the policies of the varsity.

Representative Elise Stefanik, Republican of New York said the Education Committee is launching an official Congressional investigation that will include substantial document requests and compulsory measures including subpoenas to those universities and others.

“We will use our full congressional authority to hold these schools accountable for their failure on the global stage,” Stefanik said in a statement.

Elizabeth Magill of Penn University, Claudine Gay of Harvard and Sally Kornbluth of MIT were pressed during a hearing in the House of Representatives, earlier this week, on whether pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel student activists calling for “Jewish genocide” violated their codes of conduct on harassment but all three equivocated, claiming it would depend on the context.

All these three universities have made headlines for speech and actions on campus that a range of critics have called antisemitic or inappropriate.

These three universities have been facing massive backlash on social media.

The headline is not accurate. It is impossible to shame these people. They are genetically incapable of feeling shame. I suspect it is because most of them fall somewhere on the psychopathic Spectrum

This isn’t about shaming.

It’s about mockery.

The left wants to be take seriously. This kind of thing takes them down a few pegs.

What about going on campus and calling for the genocide or Trannies? Does that depend on context?

Filthy scum.

I’m all in favor of mocking them and their insanity. I do it all the time I’ve been Facebook jailed plenty of times for doing it. I pissed off people I know by doing it. Although that’s not happening anymore cuz I quit talking to liberals altogether.

Nonetheless if anyone thinks that mocking them is going to shame them in any way they are mistaken

What you are seeing is not psychopathy as is understood by most; what you are seeing is what the Word of God calls “reprobation”; it is spiritual psychopathy/sociopathy and the clinical description is found in Romans 1:11-38 and II Tim. 3:1-5.

There is another angle to consider: we all have a God-shaped void in us and if that void is not filled by its rightful Occupant, the Holy Spirit, something unholy will take His place.

Since many of these “intellectuals” refuse to acknowledge God and His laws, ways and commandments there is a strong possibility that what you are seeing is a reprobate mind at work; to protect you and yours you need to avoid such.
