Harvard’s Larry Summers Says Blacks are Getting Too Much Attention on Campus, Jews Need More

Larry Summers: Your standard moral compass.

The obsessive Jew Larry Summers, former President of Harvard University, presently serving as a professor of economics, is angry that more attention isn’t being paid to the emotions of Jews on college campuses.

He has written a tear-stained letter in The Washington Post:

It has seemed to me that a vast double standard regarding what constitutes prejudice exists on American college campuses. There is hypersensitivity to prejudice against most minority groups but what might be called hyper-insensitivity to anti-Semitism.

The State Department has made clear that it regards demonizing Israel or “applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation” as anti-Semitism. This makes obvious good sense. Does anyone doubt that applying standards to African countries that were not applied to other countries or singling them out for sanction when other non-African countries were guilty of much greater sins would be deemed racism?

Currently, Ivory Coast, Central African Republic, the DRC, Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sudan and South Sudan are being sanctioned by the US, mainly for crimes against humanity, the same reason people are trying to sanction Israel. I’ve never heard these sanctions called “racism.”

So to answer your question: “yes, people doubt that.”

Instances of anti-Semitism by this standard are ubiquitous in American academic life. Nearly a dozen academic associations have enacted formal boycotts of Israeli institutions and in some cases Israeli scholars. Student governments at dozens of universities have demanded the divestiture of companies that do business in Israel or the West Bank. Guest speakers and even some faculty in their classrooms compare Israel to Nazi Germany and question its right to continued existence as a Jewish state.

Yet, with very few exceptions, university leaders who are so quick to stand up against microagressions against other groups remain silent in the face of anti-Semitism. Indeed, many major American universities, including Harvard, remain institutional members of associations that are engaged in boycotts of Israel. The idea of divesting Israel is opposed only in the same way that divesting apartheid South Africa was opposed — as an inappropriate intrusion into politics, not as immoral or anti-Semitic.

That is why the recent statement of the University of California Board of Regents is so welcome. It is forceful and clear on anti-Semitism, while recognizing the importance of free speech. It holds that “Anti-Semitism, anti-Semitic forms of anti-Zionism and other forms of discrimination have no place at the University of California.” Let us hope that similar statements will be made by the leaders of private and public universities across the country.

Yeah.

They probably will be.
