Some saw legal strategy in Gay's testimony because of a complaint opened by the US Education Department. Harvard's effort to shield itself from litigation led to Gay “grotesquely claiming that calls for genocide are acceptable on campus,” said Rebecca Brooks, director of advocacy for the Harvard Jewish Alumni Association. “Harvard is retroactively inventing an interpretation of its own guidelines to pretend that it has complied with its policies and hasn't shirked its most basic duties to protect students on campus,” said Brooks.
... “Harvard ranks last out of 248 universities for support of free speech, But when it comes to denouncing antisemitism, suddenly the university has anxieties about the First Amendment.”
The US House of Representatives approved a nonbinding resolution saying that anti-Zionism is antisemitism, with support from all but one Republican and a substantial minority of Democrats.
The resolution was introduced by the two Jewish Republicans in the House, Max Miller of Ohio and David Kustoff of Tennessee. It was notable for the number of Jewish Democrats who voted “present,” effectively abstaining, in part because they did not agree with the resolution’s contention that all forms of anti-Zionism were antisemitic.
