100 Harvard Faculty Members Sign Off On Pro-Genocide Slogan ‘From The River To The Sea’: Report | Eastern NC Now

    At least 100 Harvard University faculty members signed on to a letter defending the pro-Palestinian slogan "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" - despite the fact that it is widely recognized as promoting the destruction of the state of Israel and the genocide of the Jewish people living there.

    The letter, published via Medium.com, was written as a response to Harvard University President Claudine Gay's November 9 memo titled "Combating Anti-Semitism" and suggested that the school was siding with Israel out of fear that they might lose donors.

    "As Harvard faculty, we have been astonished by the pressure from donors, alumni, and even some on this campus to silence faculty, students, and staff critical of the actions of the State of Israel," the letter began. "It is important to acknowledge the patronizing tone and format of much of the criticism you have received as well as the outright racism contained in some of it."

    "We were nevertheless profoundly dismayed by your November 9 message entitled 'Combating Antisemitism.' The University's commitment to intellectual freedom and open dialogue seems to be giving way to something else entirely: a model of education in which the meaning of terms once eligible for interpretation is prescribed from above by a committee whose work was, on Tuesday, described to the faculty as only beginning," the letter continued.

    They then went on to defend the use of the oft-repeated slogan, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." Instead of recognizing its roots in calls to replace the state of Israel with a "free Palestine" that stretched from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, they simply wrote the slogan off as "complicated" - and used the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry-approved casualty numbers to suggest that Israel was guilty of genocide.


    "Similarly, the phrase 'from the river to the sea, Palestine must be free' has a long and complicated history. Its interpretation deserves, and is receiving, sustained and ongoing inquiry and debate. Singling it out as necessarily implying removalism or even eliminationism - when over a million Palestinians have been forced from their homes and over ten thousand civilians, including four thousand children, have been slain in Gaza, actions which the Holocaust historian Omer Bartov suggests in The New York Times may amount to a 'crime against humanity' being executed with 'genocidal intent' - is imprudent as a matter of university policy and badly misjudged as an act of moral leadership."

    At the time of publication, 102 members of Harvard's faculty had signed off on the letter.

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?

  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.

  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.

  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?

A majority of Americans still believe in OUR 1st Amendment guaranteed Freedom of Speech; however, at what bold point does the constitutional right to Free Speech becomes unabashed anti-Semitic Hate Speech, and while it should possibly be tolerated on our college campuses, and on the streets of mostly Sanctuary Cities, these events should be rightfully observed and scrupulously monitored ... or, not? What is your true opinion of when too much of enough is just too much, or not?

  The answer to Free Speech I don't agree with is more, and incredibly robust Free Speech.

  There is a point when Free Speech becomes counter productive to sustaining a peaceful society.

  Free Speech should only be tolerated if it represents the status quo of the highly educated orthodoxy.

  Early in life, I learned to speak only when I am spoken to.

Considering what real news is available for all to witness, and in great specificity, should one pursue what is true outside of the channeled realm of the corrupt corporate /legacy media, and: Is Institutionalized Corruption real, and is it a hindrance to sustaining our Constitutional Republic now, and for future generations of American citizens?
