"Presidents of most elite universities unable to denounce calling for genocide of Jews as antisemitic. ..When Jews are targeted because of their beliefs or identity…that is antisemitism and it must be condemned. And condemned unequivocally and without context."

“I know you’re in pain. I’m in pain. I know a lot of us are feeling unmoored and afraid. We’ve not seen anything like this moment, and I know it’s scary,” Emhoff said.

“Just look at the news the past couple of days. What have we seen? We’ve seen the presidents of some of our most elite universities literally unable to denounce calling for the genocide of Jews as antisemitic,” the second gentleman continued. “That lack of moral clarity is simply unacceptable.” …

“Let me be clear: When Jews are targeted because of their beliefs or identity, and when Israel is singled out because of anti-Jewish hatred, that is antisemitism, and it must be condemned,” Emhoff said.

[Kamala Harris’ husband also emphasized that it must be condemned “without context,” a clear slap at Claudine Gay, Sally Kornbluth, and Liz Magill. Will this have an impact on their career trajectories? Magill is rumored to be heading for the door, while MIT is standing behind Kornbluth (up in a moment here) and Haaaahvahd is silent thus far on Gay. Stay tuned. — Ed]
