Yale University hosted a virulently anti-Semitic and anti-white speaker on the second night of Passover, when Jews were celebrating the second Seder and thus couldn’t appear to protest.
Houria Bouteldja, who has reportedly insisted that Jews “cultivated Nazism” and thus implied they were responsible for the Holocaust, was invited to speak and endorsed by Yale’s flagship DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) program: “Belonging at Yale.”
Jews “tolerated Nazism before it was inflicted on them. … They absolved it, shut their eyes to it, [and] legitimized it, because until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples. … They have cultivated that Nazism … [and hence] are responsible for it,” Bouteldja has written, according to The Daily Mail.
In addition, she has stated, “Zionists to the Gulag,” “Killing an Israeli is killing two birds with one stone – eliminating the oppressor and oppressed,” and “Mohamed Merah is me and I am him.”
Merah is the terrorist who shot up a Jewish school in March 2012 in Toulouse, France, murdering Rabbi Jonathan Sandler and Sandler’s two sons, who were three and six years old, then entered the schoolyard to shoot a seven-year old girl, Miriam, who was the daughter of the school principal; he shot and critically injured a 17-year-old boy who tried to shield Miriam, then reportedly cornered Miriam, grabbed her by the hair and shot her in the head.
Bouteldja has mocked 9/11 victims, the London subway bombings, and the Charlie Hebdo Paris murders, writing, “Bombs explode in the subway. Towers … collapse like a house of cards. The journalists of a famous magazine are decimated. … [But] they are all white.”
In April 2021, a New York-based psychiatrist told medical students and faculty in a virtual speech for a Yale University panel discussion, “’I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step. Like I did the world a f***ing favor.”

Dr. Aruna Khilanani claimed to The New York Times that her lecture had “used provocation as a tool for real engagement.” She opened her remarks by asserting that she would “say a lot of things, and it will probably provoke a lot of responses, and I want you to just maybe observe them in yourself.”
During her talk, titled, “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind,” she made statements like these: “This is the cost of talking to white people at all — the cost of your own life, as they suck you dry. … There are no good apples out there. White people make my blood boil.”
After asserting, “I took some actions. I systematically white-ghosted most of my white friends, and I got rid of the couple white BIPOCs that snuck in my crew, too.” She added, “I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step. Like I did the world a f**king favor.”
Khilianani charged that white people feel bullied when confronted with the issue of race, adding, “They feel that we should be thanking them for all that they have done for us. They are confused, and so are we. We keep forgetting that directly talking about race is a waste of our breath. … We are asking a demented, violent predator who thinks that they are a saint or a superhero, to accept responsibility. It ain’t gonna happen. They have five holes in their brain. It’s like banging your head against a brick wall. It’s just like sort of not a good idea.”
After backlash ensued from her comments, Khilianani refused to apologize, instead telling the Times that her statements had been taken out of context to “control the narrative.”
“Too much of the discourse on race is a dry, bland regurgitation of new vocabulary words with no work in the unconscious,” she said. “And, if you want to hit the unconscious, you will have to feel real negative feelings. My speaking metaphorically about my own anger was a method for people to reflect on negative feelings. To normalize negative feelings. Because if you don’t, it will turn into a violent action.”
