100 Harvard faculty cry foul at university's 'Combating Antisemitism' initiative

Over 100 Harvard University faculty members have signed an open letter responding to the school's new "Combating Antisemitism" initiative.

The November 13 letter was addressed to Harvard University President Claudine Gray and questioned the school's commitment to free speech and expression.
 
The faculty said they were "astonished" by pressure from donors, alumni and members of the campus community to "silence" faculty, students and staff critical of actions undertaken by Israel against Hamas.

"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," the letter stated. "We were nevertheless profoundly dismayed by your November 9 message entitled 'Combating Antisemitism.'"

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.
