<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Friday, Harvard University announced the formation of an anti-Semitism task force to be co-chaired by a professor who was also one of many signatories to a <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/israel-elephant-in-the-room/aug-23-elephant-in-the-room-petition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> last August that accused Israel of an “illegal occupation of millions of Palestinians” and forcing Palestinians to live “under a regime of apartheid.” The letter also accused the current Israeli government of a “messianic, homophobic, and misogynistic agenda” and endorsed a “Demand from elected leaders in the United States that they … restrict American military aid from being used in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Derek Penslar, the William Lee Frost Professor of Jewish History in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, also published a book titled “Zionism: An Emotional State” in which he stated that “veins of hatred run through Jewish civilization” in reference to Biblical narrative.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Prof Penslar has publicly minimized Harvard’s anti-Semitism problem, rejected the definition used by the US government in recent years of anti-Semitism as too broad, invoked the need for the concept of settler colonialism in analyzing Israel, referred to Israel as an apartheid state and more,” former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers wrote on X, adding, “None of this in my view is problematic for a professor at Harvard or even for a member of the task force but for the co-chair of an anti-Semitism task force that is being paralleled with an Islamophobia task force it seems highly problematic.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Author Ira Stoll stated that Penslar in a “December 29, 2023 Crimson op-ed, criticized the International Holocaust Remembrance Association definition of antisemitism and endorsed two alternative definitions. The IHRA definition was backed by the Trump and Biden administrations and is included in federal Department of Education guidance (which Penslar omitted from his op-ed).”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Harvard continues on the path of darkness,” billionaire investor Bill Ackman, who helped lead the charge against former Harvard President Claudine Gay, tweeted. Penslar <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/12/11/claudine-gay-harvard-antisemitism/">defended</a> Gay after she had testified before Congress and avoided answering whether calling for the genocide of Jews violated Harvard’s codes of conduct, saying, “It can be, depending on the context.”</p>
