This is a question heard around the world.
“Is calling for the genocide of the Jews a violation of Harvard University Rules Bullying and harassment? Yes or no? “
Congresswoman Elise StefanikThe relatively simple question raised at the House Education and Workforce Committee hearings on anti-Semitism is not a tough one.

Yet, in a remarkable moment that exposed the rotten influence of anti-Semitism on American higher education, the then-morally bankrupt presidents of MIT, the University of Pennsylvania, and my alma mater, Harvard, testified that racial discrimination against Jewish students was “on a case-by-case basis.” Calls for extermination are acceptable.
Stefanik’s tenure reveals what type of UN ambassador she might be
Unfortunately, Stefanik’s question is not hypothetical. Bullying and harassment of Jewish students on American campuses remains relatively unchecked as administrators prioritize those who chant “Death to America” and call for genocide against the Jewish people and the state of Israel. I know this because I witnessed it firsthand last year as a Jewish student on the Harvard campus.
since Hamas invades Israel On October 7, 2023, anti-Semitism broke out on the campuses of America’s “elite” universities. At Harvard alone, a Jewish student was spat at, an Israeli student was asked to leave class because her nationality made classmates “uncomfortable,” and another Israeli student was assaulted in the business school.
I personally was taunted by a staff member with a machete and asked to debate Jewish involvement in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Meanwhile, hostage posters are defaced almost daily and professors publish anti-Semitic cartoons without facing disciplinary action or accountability.
Jewish students were supposed to endure it with a smile, being forced to feel unsafe in the institutions of learning they chose to call home.
Across campus, Harvard student Set up camps illegally, cheered and screamed a globalized uprising when they replaced the American flag overlooking Harvard with a Palestinian flag, screamed “Palestine will become Arab” all day long, established their own rule of law on campus, and Follow us Jews to class.
Harvard refused to publicly acknowledge the incidents or did not address them for months and still has not disciplined the perpetrators.
Last year, as American values eroded on college campuses, a steadfast, often lonely voice of moral clarity emerged: Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.
How Trump is dealing with rising anti-Semitism in America
During my first congressional testimony, Stefanik quietly pulled me aside. “This is my contact information,” she said, “If Harvard Jewish Community If you’re in trouble, call me. “
Once again, what Stefanik says is not hypothetical.
Last year, the congresswoman opened doors for America’s Jewish community and advanced legislation to alleviate Jewish students’ concerns about college campuses. A Harvard Crimson graduate, she brought needed global attention to the plague of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel hatred that has become entrenched in once-lauded academic institutions.
From her direct questions at congressional hearings to the daily reminders she posts about the plight of the more than 100 hostages still held hostage by Hamas, the congresswoman has proven herself to be a fighter, a leader, and And of course, a friend.
The United Nations has failed Gaza. It’s time to enter a new era
This all goes to show that President Trump’s decision to nominate Stefanik as ambassador to the United Nations is a remarkable one.
Like Harvard, the United Nations has become a bastion of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel propaganda.
Under the Biden administration’s disgraceful leadership, the United Nations has passed more resolutions condemning Israel than Russia, North Korea, Iran and China…combined.
also, United Nations Relief and Works Agency UNRWA is the mouthpiece of the Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists and has international legitimacy to spread the Israeli-Palestinian conflict indefinitely.
Every day, unelected bureaucrats use American taxpayer dollars to denigrate and harm America’s greatest ally and a key democracy in a volatile region.

I urge Republicans and Democrats alike to confirm Stefanik’s nomination and ensure that her unwavering commitment to America and American values is loudly proclaimed in the halls of the United Nations to promote President Trump’s “America First” approach to peace through strength agenda.
And to United Nationslet me say this: There’s a new Sheriff in town.
