Harvard students will be blacklisted by Wall Street after joining 31 organizations that blamed Israel for the Palestine war
Harvard students have been warned they have jeopardized their futures after putting out a statement blaming Israel for the horrific Hamas terror attack
Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman is among wealthy business chiefs who say they want the students named and shamed so they don't get jobs

Harvard students who blamed Israel for the massacre of its citizens by Hamas had their own future thrown into doubt last night as a host of blue chip CEOs declared them unemployable.
The elite university faced a massive backlash after 31 of its student societies issued a joint statement ‘holding the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence’.
The Anti-Defamation League denounced the statement as ‘anti-Semitic’ and others accused the university of tolerating hate speech.
But Wall Street appears even less forgiving with billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman revealing that his fellow bosses want to know who they are so ‘none of us inadvertently hire any of their members’.
The CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management said he has been approached by ‘a number of CEOs’, adding: ‘One should not be able to hide behind a corporate shield when issuing statements supporting the actions of terrorists, who, we now learn, have beheaded babies, among other inconceivably despicable acts.’

Law Firm Rescinds Employment Offer For NYU Bar Association President Who Defended Hamas Attacks

October 10, 2023 7:05 PM ET
A New York City law firm has rescinded an employment offer for a New York University Law School student who issued a public statement in support of Hamas.
Ryna Workman, the president of the NYU Student Bar Association, issued a statement in response to the Hamas attack, explicitly placing blame on Israel and praising Hamas. Workman wrote that Israel “bears full responsibility” for the terror attacks, according to a screenshot of the statement. She also wrote that the nation created the conditions that made the “resistance necessary.”
https://twitter.com/WinstonLaw/status/1711850745383866580
“I will not condemn Palestinian resistance,” Workman wrote.
Winston & Straw announced on Tuesday that they were alerted of Workman’s statement, and that they were no longer extending her an employment offer.

Good. Let's hope they stick to it.

Back in the day Wall Street had, and I imagine still does, have a heavy representation of Jews. I can see how that kind of thing would tick them off.
-
Generally I’m not big on this approach, but OTOH it’s about time leftists suffer for THEIR “beliefs” and actions.
Of course, figures it didn’t happen due to their own rioting and destruction, or their defacing statues and roads, or for having these views on-line or their lawn signs. It happened for Israel. I’d like to see it for their treason for a change.

Bill Ackman doubles down on denying jobs to Harvard students who signed anti-Israel letter
By Ariel Zilber
Published Oct. 12, 2023
Bill Ackman has doubled down on his push to have companies refuse employment opportunities to the Harvard students who signed a letter blaming Israel for Hamas’ violent attack that killed more than 1,200 people over the weekend.
The hedge fund billionaire who founded Pershing Square Capital Management held his ground after a Harvard law student slammed him for “harassment” in response to a social media post on X in which he demanded a list of the signatories of the controversial letter.
“If you were managing a business, would you hire someone who blamed the despicable violent acts of a terrorist group on the victims?” Ackman wrote on X early Thursday. “I don’t think so.”
“Would you hire someone who was a member of a school club who issued a statement blaming lynchings by the KKK on their victims?” Ackman wrote. “I don’t think so.”
“It is not harassment to seek to understand the character of the candidates that you are considering for employment,” Ackman added.

Good for him for sticking to his point.

The best way to awaken these woke universities is to turn the spout off of federal money for ten years as a penalty for supporting murderous terrorists moving forward. That will get the attention of their idiot administrators! And as far as their students are concerned, nothing will help them.
I have for a long time considered Harvard grads some of the dumbest people I have ever encountered. Academically they may be brilliant, functionally, they are literal morons.

Legal Insurrection by Mike LaChance 10/12/2023
“I would like to know so I know never to hire these people”
A dozen CEOs back Bill Ackman’s call to not hire Harvard students who blamed Israel for Hamas attack
At least a dozen business executives have endorsed Bill Ackman’s call to deny hiring members of student groups at Harvard who signed on to a letter blaming Israel for Hamas’ deadly attack on Saturday that killed more than 1,200 people, including at least 22 Americans.
Jonathan Newman, the CEO of salad chain Sweetgreen, was among a group of business honchos who seconded Ackman in urging that the signatories of the letter circulated by the a coalition of 34 Harvard student groups who “hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.”
“I would like to know so I know never to hire these people,” Newman wrote in response to Ackman’s post on X on Tuesday.

Some people are saying that this is the same thing as cancel culture. In broad terms they are correct.
But yelling fire in a crowded theater is sometimes justified........i.e. if there is a fire.
And telling certain people (Nazis, commies, terror apologists) that they will not be considered for hiring is also appropriate.

Exactly.
This is why I said I’m not crazy about this approach. But there ARE limits to what one can get away with. Communists were barred from fed jobs (not anymore), and even now we “out” FORMER sex offenders on neighborhood maps.

‘Harvard’s Leading Antisemites’ truck flashes faces, names of students after explosive anti-Israel statement: ‘Everyone is fearful for their safety’

Harvard students who blamed Israel after Hamas’ terrorist attacks say they’re afraid for their safety, as a truck revealing students’ names and their faces continued to drive around the Cambridge campus on Thursday.
The “Harvard’s Leading Antisemites” truck has been showing the names and photos of students who are members of the groups that signed the explosive anti-Israel statement. The dozens of groups blamed Israel for the terrorist attacks, saying they “hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.”
That letter from over the weekend has since sparked outrage, leading to Harvard alums calling for the students’ names to be public. Now, many of their names and faces are being shown on this Accuracy in Media truck.
“Accuracy in Media is exposing radical antisemites on college campuses,” the organization posted. “No one who supports terrorist groups like Hamas should be able to hide in the shadows.”
“It’s always funny when students on the campus where Facebook was invented are complaining about their names and photos being publicly available,” posted Adam Guillette, president of the organization.

But is it doxing? Didn't these morons willingly sign the letter which was public, or they should have been aware it would be made public. if you aren't willing to accept the repercussions of your stupid acts you really should refrain from doing stupid things, especially in todays world were nothing is really private or ever forgotten.

I'd bet the farm that every one of those groups have supported BDS - Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions, on Israel. So this seems a particularly clear instance of some chickens finding their way home to the roost.

Not technically, though the libs would say it was, maybe more like outing or exposing. One way or the other they won't like the fact they can't hide in the shadows like the Rats they are.

The letter had appended to it the names of some student groups that allegedly supported it, not the signatures of all the individual members of those groups.
And there are apparently some members of those groups who had no idea that someone within their group would authorize that, and that don't support it personally.
So to that extent, I get the complaints.

Then those students who have a valid concern should publicly disassociate themselves from those organizations and disavow the statements that were made in their names.
If they do not, then they have as good as condoned and ratified those statements.

American citizens (not sure about all the students concerned) are guaranteed freedom of speech by the first amendment.
You are not guaranteed freedom from the ramifications/repercussions of what you say or do.
Words/actions have consequences.

Sure. This'll go a long way to convince them that Jews aren't in charge of the major banking institutions and aren't acting as a cabal.
Thank you for proving their point.

What about black-listing any students that blame White people,Christians,etc,etc,etc for all the problems?
WHY restrict this list to protecting only Israelis/Jews?

Because that’s too close to home.
The flip side is admitting the real problem is Moslems, not simply Palis. Moslems should be banned, period.

The USA is very much on a self destructive course, much like Europe. Fact is, many nations in Europe are destined to be Islamic states in the coming years. France is on the verge of becoming an Islamic state in the next few years. Notre Dame Cathedral burnt to the ground, and the authorities claimed it was an accident. Accident my *ss!
Check out the published numbers for the Diversified Visa Program (better known as the greencard lottery). I would guess roughly 80% of those that come each year are muslims. People from Iran are often the largest group coming each year. IRAN!!! You c an see the numbers for each year, the numbers coming from each country. The majority are from islamic states. Almost no one from Europe.

That really happened? HTH did I not hear and see news reports about it? Notre Damn Cathedral is/was one of the most famous churches/buildings in Europe. Truly a historical structure.

It was badly damaged, Palm Sunday I believe. Pre-scamdemic. It was not burned to the ground, though pretty bad and supposed to be repaired by next year. Still no real conclusion how it happened. Many blamed Moslems but the official story was something like burned electrical wiring and water, IIRC.

If I am the owner or a manager of/in any business, I know I cannot trust those morons to give proper service to anyone they believe is Jewish. Nor trust them not to try to harm anyone they believe is Jewish.

Even more fundamentally, anyone who supports terrorism is not someone I want in my work area, nor any I supervise. They have already as good as said "the ends justify the means" no matter what the means are, no matter how unjustifiable the ends. That's just inviting trouble in the door.

The attached photo looks like it burnt to the ground to me. Some concrete was left standing. And do you really think the French government would come out and say it was burnt down by mussies? There would be a massive effort to kill thousands of them if the truth were told. Get f***ing real!!!!
You think the government did not cover this bullsh*t up?
-
As we continue each year to allow more and more mussies into the USA, you can expect more NO GO ZONES in the USA, more efforts for Sharia Law, more everything islamic. There will be more attacks on Jews and Jewish facilities, already the highest demographic group in America for attacks.
You want to see what having more mussies in the USA will mean, watch the footage of the Columbus, Ohio council meeting in the last few days where about 20 +/- islamic women were screaming at the council in regard to the crimes Israel is committing in Gaza right now. That video spells it out exactly what to expect from these barbaric cretins.
-
The FBI, now a political arm of the Democommie Party, a direct copy of the Brown Shirts or Gestapo of Nazi Germany, should be identifying everyone supporting the murderous barbarians in Gaza here in the USA, for these are some of the future terrorists in America, not parents complaining at school board meetings about the teaching of transgender nonsense or having pornography in their elementary schools.
I fully support the end of all of our current intelligence agencies. They need to be restructured, removing 99% of the POWER they have today. And repeatedly, they fail the USA and our real allies!

College students discover that consequences still exist
© Provided by Washington Examiner
College students on campuses across the country are discovering that although you have the freedom to speak hatefully and reveal yourself as a bigot if you so choose, consequences still exist.
Of course, leftist administrators have done their best to shield students from the worst of these consequences over the years, allowing young adults to shout down speakers they dislike and throw collective tantrums when their beliefs are challenged without fear of repercussion. Even now, after hundreds of students at various schools have protested in support of Hamas’s terrorist attack against Israel, university officials are begging the public not to think too poorly of them.
IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS LOSE DONORS AMID ANTI-ISRAEL STUDENT ACTIVISM
In a recent email to affiliates of Columbia University, President Minouche Shafik complained that the names of students who have endorsed terrorism and violence have been made public.

Israeli Harvard Business School Student Accosted and Harassed Amid Gaza ‘Die-In’ on Campus
Harvard University leaders have no comment.

October 21, 2023
A first-year Israeli student at Harvard Business School was shoved and accosted amid a "die in" protest held on Wednesday to assail Israel’s retaliatory attacks on Hamas. ...
A report to the FBI identified two of the people laying hands on him as fellow Harvard University graduate students, one a law student, Ibrahim Bharmal, a member of the Harvard Law Review, and the other a divinity school graduate student, Elom Tettey Tamaklo, who lives with Harvard undergraduate students in supervisory role known as a proctor. ...

While attending Harvard Divinity School, Tettey-Tamaklo is applying to a dual-degree program at Tufts University’s Fletcher School for Law and Diplomacy, to further connect his lifelong interests of religion and government. Additionally, he will be continuing work as convenor for the Black Christians for Palestine Network, which works under the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights. He hopes that his work will be able to advance religious literacy and inform public policy in creating more just communities for not only Palestinians, but all oppressed peoples.

Listen, I’m going mostly by my memory and a photo from the aftermath.
No need to get so angry including those foul hostile fightin’ words.
It’s possible it was Moslem but not everything is Moslem. Moslems love taking credit and they want to be known. That is part of their M.O. There wasn’t much about anyone taking credit. So it’s totally possible in 1000 years, a fire finally broke out.

@Smokin Joe
I WAS kicked out of college and even had my GI Bill educational rights pulled back in 1970. Was going to a local 2 year college because it was local,and was so poor I was still wearing my army fatigue shirts.
Had a pompous bleep of a history professor start badmouthing VN vets as punks for "not being able to beat a guerilla army",while MY generation defeated the Nazi's!"
I stood up in class,called him a punk posing MF because I happened to know that HE spent WW-2 working in the Norfolk Navy shipyard inspecting ships so even the "punks" that he claimed to have gone to VN and ran away from the NVA did more than he ever did,and if I ever heard him babbling that shit again that I was going to bleep him up beyond all belief.
He got me kicked out of college for this,and even wrote letters to the VA and got my GI Bill pulled to keep me from ever being able to go to college again.
I guess the college had to do that in support of their professors,but I found out later that he didn't show up again the next year,so I guess the college fired him after the school year ended.
I ended up going to a trade school and getting a degree in gunsmithing. Trade Schools weren't considered to be colleges,so the VA hadn't pulled that one.
