The election of a supporter of Israel as the president of Harvard University

According to the report of the international group of Fars news agency, following the forced resignation of the president of Harvard University due to his positions regarding the Gaza war, one of the pro-Israel professors was chosen as the interim president of this university.

“Claudine Gay”, the former president of Harvard University, was forced to resign a few days ago after being accused of plagiarism and also criticized for what was called insufficient support for Israel. He should resign.

The Times of Israel, by Ilan Garber, who is Jewish as Harvard’s new president-elect and has previously criticized universities for not condemning Hamas enough.

Garber criticized Harvard University’s initial statement regarding the October 7 attacks in an interview with a publication in November. He also did not comment on the letter that more than 30 student groups had signed condemning Hamas.

A group of Harvard students signed a statement a few months ago saying that Israel is responsible for all the violence in Gaza.

The signing of this statement along with several demonstrations in support of the Palestinian people at Harvard University and other American universities brought criticism from the governing circles in this country, who believed that university presidents should Take more measures to deal with “anti-Semitism” in universities.

In this regard, Claudine Gay together with “Mary Elizabeth Magill” President of the University of Pennsylvania and “Sally Kornbluth” President of the University of “Massachusetts Institute of Technology” (MIT) in a meeting in the House of Representatives in December of this year America was present about the anti-Israel demonstrations in the universities.

At the meeting, some congressional lawmakers claimed that the lives of “Jewish students” were at risk as a result of the protests and that university presidents should deal with anti-Semitism.

At that meeting, Claudine Gay did not respond to delegates’ questions about anti-Israel chants on campuses as expected by pro-Israel groups. For example, he did not answer the question of a delegate who described the anti-Israel demonstrations on campus as a “call for the genocide of the Jews.”

Claudine Gay said that whether such a thing is considered an example of harassment or not depends on the context of the story.

After that hearing, “Mary Elizabeth Magill” resigned from her position under pressure, but “Gay” did not give in to the pressure and tried to stay in her position.

After that, a group of conservative activists claimed to have found instances of plagiarism in Claudine Gay’s doctoral thesis. He finally decided to resign on Tuesday.

His resignation took place in a situation where the US President Joe Biden’s administration’s support for Israel’s crimes in Gaza is facing major opposition among the American people.

Washington’s support for Tel Aviv has continued despite the holding of various demonstrations against Israel’s crimes, the writing of protest letters by government employees and the results of various polls.
