This has nothing to do with Israel or even antisemitism. The administration just doesn't like Harvard and they'll use whatever justification they think has the best chance of of holding up in court
There are definitely people in the admin who are full-throated supporters of the current Israeli government and its war, and I find it hard to believe that it didn't enter into the equation.
It doesn't have to be either-or. There's both generic anti-intellectualism, and specifically revenge for the protests.
That has nothing to do with it. They made the same demands of Colombia, who agreed to their demands; the result was just more demands. This is about exercising power and establishing dominance, not about Israel.
You get what you pay for.
Capitalism 1.0 -- just unveiled being like it ever was.
That's what happens when a (pseudo-) democracy never gets fixed, because everyone in the upper class thinks to get away best _with_ all the loopholes.
A president reigning at will, no court being able to really stop the shit show and undoing former president's pardons while using pardons as a tool to side-track courts.
The whole construct didn't -- and doesn't -- make sense, if you still aim for anything not being despotism.
Let’s be real. This has nothing to do with Qatar. It’s just the Trump administration retaliating against any institution that doesn’t fall in line. That’s the only thing these people care about: loyalty and control, plain and simple.
I was commenting to OP blaming the situation on AIPAC, which is not even in the top 10 list of donors, and has much less impact than most people believe.
It basically made criticising Israel automatically "anti-Semitic".
While someone who has previously said that the Jews are importing immigrants to intentionally undermine the USA who gave multiple Seig Heils was an ambiguous situation that they didn't want to rush to judgement on.
They basically destroyed all their credibility by becoming an advocate for Israel not for Jewish people.
They consider being anti-zionist to be antisemitic. This one section alone. The remainder is fine but I believe this shows they can't disconnect Israel from Jewishness
"Examples of when such critiques cross into antisemitism include when they ostracize and vilify Zionists and Zionism"
It's perfectly fine to criticize the government of any country. But is anyone in the UK, or Syria, or Iraq (my birthplace) saying those countries don't have a right to exist? Why just Israel?
When you have a standard that exists for one country or people that doesn't exist for anyone else, isn't that the definition of bigotry in all its forms?

Always has been. Many such cases.

>Universities that Qatar donated money to have 3x the number of antisemitic incidents
Proof?
It was referenced in the Wikipedia article I linked to. Did you read the article?

Antisemitic by whose definition? The ADL's?
What's wrong with the ADL definition of antisemitism?
