Was: Israel is at War; Now: Scoopers diagnose your anti-Semitism

[Heisenberg]

Very detailed layout of the allegations.

This has now grown past Gay. She is toast, just arguing about the type of exit.

The problem is which Fellows (Trustees) on the Harvard Corporation (Board of Trustees) will go with her?

Start with Penny Pritzker, the senior Fellow (head of the BoT), and who else?

The problem is that Priktker cannot take the L, so this will drag on and on.

Harvard President Claudine Gay Hit With Six New Charges Of Plagiarism

Half of Gay's published works now implicated in growing scandal

Harvard University president Claudine Gay was hit with six additional allegations of plagiarism on Monday in a complaint filed with the university, breathing fresh life into a scandal that has embroiled her nascent presidency and pushing the total number of allegations near 50.

Seven of Gay's 17 published works have already been impacted by the scandal, but the new charges, which have not been previously reported, extend into an eighth: In a 2001 article, Gay lifts nearly half a page of material verbatim from another scholar, David Canon, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin.

Much more important story than anything involving the dead-woman-walking Harvard president:

(From NYT)

Israel's Supreme Court struck down a law passed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing government that was meant to limit the court's own powers, by a majority of eight judges to seven.

The decision is likely to rekindle the grave domestic situation that began a year ago over the government's judicial overhaul plan — which sparked mass protests that brought the country to a near standstill at times — even as Israel is at war in Gaza.

Sorry, I forgot. I'm still trying to overcome serious injuries suffered during the War on Christmas to think clearly.

I found the Harvard situation very interesting because a friend called me about two months ago with a similar story. He is on the national board of a wonderful, internationally respected charity.
He told me they had hired a new CEO as the last one retired   After a few months he became concerned because key staff had begun to leave. He alerted the board and after a year, they terminated the person. It was after the termination that they discovered that the person had been fired from the previous position. It was then he added that the candidate was a DEI hire and they had not done a vetting.

So your friend failed at his job.

Pretty spectacular fail

[WellsstreetWanderer]

The board failed ,yes.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

However he was the first to recognize the mistake and alert the other members to be observant

Now that Netanyahu's corrupt coup attempt has been spoiled - or at least delayed - I wonder how it will affect the war.

Reports over the weekend surfaced that Israel was reducing its soldier count in Gaza even as it continued pursuing Hamas in more targeted ways.

[tower912]

There isn't much left to bomb.  So this is a logical step.

[MU82]

From the NYT:

The deputy head of Hamas, Saleh al-Arouri, and two leaders of its armed wing were killed in an explosion in Lebanon on Tuesday, the group said on its official Telegram channel.

The three died in what Hamas described as a "Zionist raid" in a suburb of Beirut, the Lebanese capital. Lebanese state media reported that the blast occurred amid a meeting between Palestinian factions at a Hamas office.

Good. Kill as many as possible. Part of my 82-point plan.

Anti semestism solved, war is over.  President of Harvard resigns.

Although I think Hamas needs to be eliminated, I'm not a fan of this type of approach. These are assassinations on foreign soil. They are considered crimes by the international community.

It also sets the tone for other groups/countries to do the same thing, and target/assassinate other leaders they disagree with. Overall, the normalization and acceptance of these types of targeted killings/assassinations is a net negative for humanity.

World is safe for humanity, and, as you said, antisemitism is cured!

Seriously, she had to go for the plagiarism alone ... and her testimony about the anti-Jewish behavior at Harvard was horrendous and tone-deaf.

Glad it finally happened ... even if she is part of a "protected class."

You might not have realized this, reinko, but she is the first Black person who was ever forced from her or his job. Think about all the Black people who have been employed in U.S. history ... and now a grand total of one has been forced out. I don't know about you, my similarly victimized white brother, but I'm sick and tired of Black people having gotten every break in America for centuries while us white folks have been discriminated against at every turn. Not to mention all the vermin poisoning our blood. White power!!!

Warning:  you need to drop the political posts

Mostly respectful?
Heisy and 4ever have spent the majority of this thread calling anyone who disagrees with them an anti-Semite, but this is the post you find problematic?

I stopped calling anyone an anti-semite months ago.

To be clear, I have called certain actions anti-semite, but not certain people.

Your post follows a long string of personal attacks by you and other fellow travelers regularly against me and others. Just look at a few posts above for the latest example.

Why is this not problematic? In fact, why is your inaccurate characterization of me and 4ever not problematic?

[Heisenberg]

They know what they have in Bibi and will act accordingly and at the appropriate time.

And when Benny Gantz takes over, not one less Palestinian will die. You could argue that Gantz, based on his post-October 7 public statements and the fact he is a member of the War Cabinet, will be more aggressive than Bibi. That is Bibi, who has been holding back the IDF.

Only 15% of Israelis want Netanyahu to keep job after Gaza war, poll finds
https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/only-15-of-israelis-want-netanyahu-to-keep-job-after-gaza-war-poll-finds

Only 15% of Israelis want Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stay in office after the war on Hamas in Gaza ends, though many more still support his strategy of crushing the militants in the Palestinian enclave, according to a poll published on Tuesday.

In the poll conducted by the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI), 56% of those questioned said continuing the military offensive was the best way to recover the hostages, while 24% thought a swap deal including the release of thousands more Palestinian prisoners from Israel's jails would be best.

More than 22,000 Palestinians have been killed in the war, according to Gaza health officials, and most of the population displaced. Israel says it has killed some 8,000 Palestinian fighters and has vowed to hunt down Hamas leaders.

But a mere 15% want Netanyahu to be prime minister once the war is over, the poll showed. His political rival and present war cabinet partner, centrist Benny Gantz, garnered support from 23% of interviewees. Around 30% named no preferred leader.

Accurately describing your behavior is not a "personal attack."

Why is this not problematic? In fact, why is your inaccurate characterization of me and 4ever not problematic?

Because it's not inaccurate.
