If elite American universities think they can placate Zionist + Republican offensives by capitulating to their demands, they are wrong. Harvard's new IHRA policies are an example of what not to do. Some thoughts with @shraddha_joshi1 in @thenation.
Harvard’s adoption of the IHRA definition of anti-semitism conflates critique of Israel with antisemitic speech, writes @Shraddha_Joshi1 and @asmerasafi, cementing a pattern of repression that the university has championed since October 2023.

Can someone please tell me which stupid bureaucrat was responsible for a Chinese gallery in Lahore museum? Everything about the gallery is unnecessary - from massive pixelated prints taken off of google images, to scattered replicas that have nothing to do with Pakistan

Lovely to see this guy is still as stupid as we left him a few months ago
INSANITY: Harvard Divinity School Dean Marla Frederick used convocation to argue Arabs attempting to kill all Jews from the River to the Sea are victims of a “Nakba.” With historically illiterate Deans like Marla, no wonder Ivy Leagues are hotbeds of antisemitism
