Substantially correct, but rhetorically sloppy and needless inflammatory….in other words, typical of Trump.

Martha Pollack announced earlier this month that she will step down as the president of Cornell, running neck-and neck-and -neck-and neck with the other Ivy League indoctrination camps in seeding anti-white hate and anti-Semitism. She championed the Democratic Party led race-focused DEI initiative at Cornell in the wake of a non-racial incident in which a bad cop hastened the demise of a life-time petty perp and addict overdosing and resisting arrest in Minnesota. This, in turn, led to targeting of Jewish and pro-Israel students, to such an extent that Jewish students felt unsafe and threatened on their own campus; one student was charged with seriously threatening a Jewish massacre. Pollack has been weak and enabling toward the pro-terrorists even for an Ivy League president, resulting in terrible publicity for the school and many millions in lost donations.If she was “doing what she thought was right,” she didn’t even have the guts to follow-through on her misguided agenda: perhaps seeing the proverbial writing on the wall, she’s quitting before she can be fired.

But in the grand tradition of weenies and cowards everywhere, now that she is immune from consequences, Pollack took one last, disgusting swipe at her victims, praising the Hamas-supporting demonstrators in an email released on May 14. As Cornell professor William Jacobsen correctly noted, the message  amounted to gaslighting. “The entire statement was demeaning and insulting, except to the anti-Israel protesters,” he wrote. It praised the students who threatened the Jews on campus and expressed “gratitude” that the demonstrations weren’t worse. The missive to the campus read in part:

Last evening, the Coalition for Mutual Liberation (CML) voluntarily took down their encampment on the Arts Quad. While I do not condone the encampment, which was in clear violation of university policies, I want to acknowledge and express gratitude that in contrast to what has taken place at some other universities, the participants here remained peaceful and nonviolent throughout, and for the most part they tried to minimize the disruption caused. With this in mind, and provided no further violations of university policy occur, we are able to pause on issuing additional suspensions and disciplinary referrals. We will also promptly and carefully review all existing cases in accordance with our procedures for resolution and adjudication. Should there be repeat or new violations, additional sanctions will be issued, though I am very hopeful this will not be necessary….

The participants in the encampment shared that members of our Jewish community who have criticized Israel have been targeted with the slur “kapo,” which not only is deeply offensive, but also trivializes the memory of the Holocaust. Other students involved in the encampment shared experiences of being called “terrorists” over the past few months in an expression of anti-Arab discrimination and hatred. No matter one’s political beliefs, using such rhetoric, which questions the basis of someone’s religious, cultural, ancestral, or any form of identity is unacceptable, and I implore everyone in our community to think carefully about their words.

“The anti-Israel perpetrators were portrayed as the victims, and the campus victims who had to put up with seven months of abuse were portrayed at the problem,” Jacobsen writes. Exactly. Moreover, this woman exemplifies the dangerous and inevitably deadly delusions of the Democratic Party in general and President Biden in particular regarding Israel’s battle for survival. An American Jew who continues to support their actions ensuring that Hamas’s terror attack on October 7 has exactly the results it hoped for, as well as endorsing that party’s soft tolerance of anti-Semitism as a full-fledged member in good standing of the woke intersectional ideology, is not only signing on to the effort to end Israel but their own demise as well.

If anything, Trump suggesting that they should be “spoken to” is too restrained a diagnosis.
