The only Constitutionally acceptable amount of taxpayer funding for these institutions is zero, regardless of what ideology they promote.

The Left can only defend Harvard by pretending that billions of tax dollars per year ought to be the default.

The only Constitutionally acceptable amount of U.S. taxpayer funding for the State of Israel is zero. Its wars and policies are only endangering and harming America's real interests in the world by dragging America into one disastrous war after another. And, by the way, by all legal measure, AIPAC should, at the very least, be required to register as a foreign agent.

More broadly, the State of Israel has interfered more deeply, persistently and destructively in America's politics and elections than any other nation in history and should be accordingly investigated, prosecuted and sanctioned.

Even more broadly, when it comes to antisemitism, it is Zionism and those who defend and enable it who should be held responsible for the current increase in antisemitism, not anti-genocide professors and students at Harvard or elsewhere. If you think that isn't true, watch this video:

Interesting comment? "Dragging America into one disastrous war after another." What wars would those be? "AIPAC should, at the very least, be required to register as a foreign agent." ЁЯдг AIPAC is NOT foreign, which would seem to be a necessary prerequisite for being a FOREIGN agent. ЁЯдг AIPAC is one hundred percent American with funding from Americans.

A foreign agent does not have to be a foreign person, only a person who is closely coordinating with and representing the interests of a foreign nation. This almost the exact definition of what AIPAC does. (Payments or other compensation may be involved, but that is not a necessary part of the definition.) AIPACтАЩs policy is Israel First, no matter the impact on America. Its leaders regularly meet with Israeli government officials to coordinate its lobbying efforts with that of the Israeli government. There is no daylight between AIPACтАЩs lobbying positions and those of the Israeli state. Can you cite such a divergence?

So youтАЩre a self-loathing Jew. Not new. Invented when the Moors entered Spain and later to survive Los Reyes Catholicos. Now ask yourself how some stranger knows that and you donтАЩt, and youтАЩll know why siding with Islam is a deeply bad idea, despite your friendтАЩs applause for doing it.

Please save for someone else your presumptuous pop psychology and your spurious historical analysis. You know nothing about me. Or about true Judaism, which has at its core an ethic of human empathy and opposition to injustice. (The opposite of political Zionism and Jewish Supremacy.) If you think opposing the premeditated mass killing and starvation of thousands of innocent civilians (genocide) is siding with Islam, you are blindly misunderstanding what is going on in Gaza or your moral compass and humanity are badly broken. Did you even open the video?
