University president steps down after allegedly racist and antisemitic testimony


Liz Magill, Univ. of Penn.

University of Pennsylvania president Liz Magill has resigned after giving controversial testimony before Congress this past week. In that hearing, Magill and other university leaders, including the heads of Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, refused to say that calls for genocide against Jews violates university policy. The university leaders appear to have been coached not to condemn such racist calls against Jews. Critics say the testimony appeared to be supportive of Islamic extremist terrorist ideology against Jews.

Magill announcement her resignation today in an email statement to certain recipients.

It has been my privilege to serve as President of this remarkable institution. It has been an honor to work with our faculty, students, staff, alumni, and community members to advance Penn’s vital missions.

According to The Daily Pennslvanian, “The University Board of Trustees held an emergency gathering Thursday in the wake of resignation calls from dozens of government officials and Penn community members. The pressure to resign follows the mounting scrutiny of Magill’s “context dependent” response to a question about whether calling for the genocide of Jewish people violates Penn’s code of conduct from Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) — who referenced calls for “Intifada revolution” among some protesters on campus as calls for genocide.”

Amid the uproar over the testimony, Magill attempted to dial back her statement in a video. However, it did little to quell the criticism.

Big donors to the University of Pennsylvania have been complaining about the school’s policies. After Magill’s testimony, major donor Ross Stevens announced he was withdrawing a $100 million grant to the school.

Sunday on “Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson,” the program follows the money and finds the Muslim nation of Qatar has become the biggest foreign donor of American universities that have become a breeding ground for anti-Israel sentiment. Qatar is where the leadership of the Islamic extremist terrorist group Hamas resides.

Despite the controversy, Magill will reportedly stay on at the University of Pennsylvania as a tenured faculty member at Penn Carey Law.

  1. The Poison Ivy universities are supposed to have the finest law schools yet they don’t know the difference between protected speech covered by the first amendment and the use of the legal term “Fighting words” which is meant to provoke violence against a person or group which isn’t. Not to mention open themselves up to law suits.

      “Anti-Zionism,“
      “Anti-Zionism,”
      “Anti-Zionism,”
      “Anti- Zionism,”
      is
      the
      correct
      charge !,
      because Palestinians are Semites, too
      (( ask CBS talk-show host Margaret Brennan,
      who blurted out that T R U T H two Sundays
      ago )).

      One Jewess steps out to tell
      us the TRUTH, Ilana Mercer :
      
      “ . . . speaking to the proportionality
      imperative of Just War Theory,
      obliterated: The casualties ratio in
      this war is now more than 12 to 1.
      About 17.7K murdered Palestinians
      to 1.3K murdered Israelis. I wonder
      at what ratio the Gazans will have
      been deterred? 50 to 1? How about
      100,000 dead in Gaza
      versus 1300 dead in Israel?
      That’ll teach ’em! “

      1. I would say your comment supports a ‘half truth’. True the original definition of Semite refers to a group of people consisting of both Jews and Arabs but what does it mean to be anti-Zionist other than to be against the establishment of a nation/homeland for Jews?
        Israel was carved out, in 1947, of an area where Jews once dominated the population of that area. That Jews populated that land is evident from historical records uncovered more than a century ago. Even if one does not adhere to the Bible being the word of God, it contains great historical references that Jews inhabited that land thousand of years before the disporia.
        The land Britian and the UN designated for a Jewish state at the end of WWII was quite small when compared to the land controlled by Arabs. That Israel is willing to live with Palestinians not only in Gaza but the West Bank within a scaled down Israeli territory seems quite reasonable.
        How much hatred and terrorism must the Jews accept to live in peace? Hamas is a terrorist organization bent on destroying Jews, much the same as the Nazi regime of Germany. Israel has every right to defend their land and after multiple wars are taking the fight to their enemy. Did not the US do exactly that after 9/11 and the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor?
        Anti-Zionism is more atrocious a policy than anti-semitism is a linguistic phrase.

        1. Jeff,

          No, the tag – “SEMITE” – refers to
          germ lines ( tribes ) speaking
          certain language iterations in the
          LEVANT, over several thousand
          years.

          Abraham, having committed
          adultery with his slave, fathering
          two different breeds, is why the
          Middle East remains in flames
          (( original meaning of ADULTERY
          in the Ten Commandments )).

          Study the ancient Vedas, which
          warn against inter-racial breeding,
          as it eventuates major wars.

          Investigate the origin of used-
          to-be-top-secret NSA(OI)—
          Never
          Secure
          America
          Only
          Israel,
          to explain how a 30-billion-
          dollar-per-year SECURITY
          Agency could have been
          fooled by 12 uneducated
          Arabs on 9/11 ?

          P.S.

          Philosopher Socrates said, in his time,
          circa 470 BC—about societal decline :

          Children have bad manners, contempt for authority;
          they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in
          place of exercise. They no longer rise when elders
          enter the room, they contradict their parents and
          tyrannise their teachers. Children are now tyrants.”
