@MorePerfectUS @RIPMedicalDebt She's cancelling $2B with $30M? 6c on the $1? And she's getting other people's $30M to do that with? Sounds like a good deal to me.

@ProfDBernstein Jews have tended leftward because they believe that leftist politics favor the persecuted including Jews. That is mistaken, and not just with regards to Hamas. Furthermore, the mistake cannot be ignored or wished away.

@Hebro_Steele It's not Gay who needs to be the target here. The Harvard Board of Overseers is the body who hired her to do what she did, and reaffirmed their support of her. Criticize them, criticize the entire university. Gay is a representative of the reality of Harvard.

@ProfDBernstein I don't think the left is inherently antisemitic. I think they're anti-success. If Jews were largely living in poverty dependent on successful Americans, the left would support Jews as the victims of America.
