Dear editor:
From 2015-2020 Harvard University accepted $894,533,832.00 from concealed foreign funding — primarily Qatar and other Islamic sources.
(See: “The Corruption of the American Mind. How Concealed Foreign Funding in the United States of Higher Education Predicts the Erosion of Democratic Values and Antisemitic Sentiment on Campus”, The Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy, 2023, page 33. Isgap.org.)
The quid pro quo is obvious: to turn Harvard into a Zionophobic* judenrein institution. The Jewish student population at Harvard is down to 7% and continuing to plummet in free fall to levels not see in over 100 years. (See: “Harvard Has A Jewish Problem,” Rafael Medoff, Jewish Journal of Los Angeles, 3/26/26).
Certain departments are for all practical purposes completely filled with Zionophobic faculty:
Middle East Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, Feminist Studies, Black Studies and Theology.
To not be a Zionophobe and be in any of these departments is to be an apostate.
Further two Zionophobes lead the Admissions and Financial Aid Committee: Ali Asani and Maya Jasanoff.
The effect of this quid pro quo for accepting well over $1 billion is obvious: turn Harvard into a Zionophobic* juderein institution which has as much respect from legitimate educators as German/Nazi institutions had from legitimate educators from 1933-1945.
*Zionophobia, a condition described by Professor Judea Pearl, the Chancellor’s Professor of Computer Science and Statistics and the Director of the UCLA Cognitive Systems Laboratory and Daniel Pearl’s father, as “the absolute denial of Israel’s right to exist.” See: “Coexistence and Other Fighting Words,” Selected Writings of Judea Pearl, 2002-2025, Epilogue. The Crater of October 7, page 144, (2025).
