Hedge fund titan pushes to claw back $100M UPenn gift as pressure mounts to dump Liz Magill over antisemitism response

 

A Wall Street tycoon Thursday vowed to claw back a $100 million donation to the University of Pennsylvania if the Ivy League school doesn’t boot UPenn President Liz Magill following her disastrous congressional testimony that failed to condemn rampant antisemitism on campus.

Ross Stevens, the boss of Stone Ridge Asset Management, joined a growing chorus of high-powered donors and outraged elected officials – that now include Keystone State Gov. Josh Shapiro – who are calling for Magill’s head.

The hedge fund titan said he has “clear grounds” to rescind his donation and that law firm Davis Polk has sent the school a letter saying as much.

“Absent a change in leadership and values at Penn in the very near future, I plan to rescind Penn’s Stone Ridge shares to prevent any further reputational and other damage to Stone Ridge as a result of our relationship with Penn and Liz Magill,” read the letter, which was obtained by The Post.

“ I love Penn and it is important to me, but our firm’s principles are more important.”

“We can’t comment on the personal decisions of our donors,” a UPenn spokesperson said. 

Magill made a groveling apology Wednesday for her refusal to condemn calls for the genocide of the Jewish people on campus in her remarks to Congress.

However, her mea culpa may not be enough.

University Presidents, George Soros and The UN: Go to Hell!

 

As the grandson of Holocaust survivors I was raised in a home where the concept of Jews being in danger was a constant. Following a massacre of our people, a brutal war where our people are being held hostage, where our soldiers are forced to fight a brutal war against a terrorist region, we face brutal Anti-Semitism.

We live against a backdrop when University Presidents refuse to condemn genocide of Jews. They try to backtrack a day later. And yet, many of us always realize and remember why we have a Jewish state. There's always our country, always our home. We will not be the world’s whipping boys. Those days are long over.

We have heroes and we have pride and we have a strong Jewish state. We are strong. There's a Jewish state and the world won't kill us again without understanding that there's a price to be paid. As the world realizes, we will eliminate Hamas.

Watch: Body camera footage from a Hamas terrorist in Gaza

 


As part of the Nahal Brigade's operations in Jabalya, the soldiers encountered terrorists who fired anti-tank missiles at the forces.

The soldiers completed the mission quickly and efficiently, with the terror cell being struck by an IAF UAV guided by the brigade's Fire Control Center, intelligence, and soldiers in the field.

Another terrorist from the cell was eliminated by the soldiers. A camera was found on this terrorist with a recording of Hamas operatives with RPGs, fortifying themselves inside buildings and launching an anti-tank missile at IDF forces.

Over the last few days, the 36th Division has been fighting in close-quarter combat with terrorists in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood of Gaza. The forces located and destroyed weapons and underground infrastructure, predominantly located inside and in the vicinity of civilian buildings. The soldiers are continuing to operate to dismantle Hamas’ capabilities in the area.


"Evil Grin" Magill Tries to walk back her Sick Despicable Response in Congress ... Too Little Too Late!


 In the wake of the public outcry following the shocking failure of the presidents of “elite” universities to unequivocally condemn calls for the genocide of the Jewish people, University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill posted a video statement on Wednesday.

Magill said, among other things, that she “should have been focused on the irrefutable fact that a call for the genocide of the Jewish people is a call to the most terrible violence that human beings can perpetrate.

Several social media users commented that Magill’s scripted statements reminded them of “hostage videos.” Many people are demanding the resignation of Magill, along with Harvard President Claudine Gay and MIT President Sally Kornbluth.

Congresswoman Elise Stefanik responded to the video by stating: “This pathetic PR clean-up attempt by Penn shockingly took over 24 hours to try to fix the moral depravity of the answers under oath yesterday. And there was not even an apology. By the way, the questions were asked over and over and over again. No statement will fix what the world saw and heard yesterday. There is zero question that the world knows that the only answer is for Penn to deliver accountability and bring in new leadership immediately.”

Yad Vashem issued a statement saying: “The positions taken by the three university presidents in their testimonies highlight a basic ignorance of history, including the fact that the Holocaust did not start with ghettos or gas chambers, but with hateful antisemitic rhetoric, decrees and actions by senior academics, among other leaders of society.”

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla stated: “I was ashamed to hear the recent testimony of three top university presidents. In my personal opinion, it was one of the most despicable moments in the history of U.S. academia. The three presidents were offered numerous opportunities to condemn racist, antisemitic, hate rhetoric and refused to do so hiding behind calls for ‘context.’ The memories of my father’s parents, Abraham and Rachel Bourla, his brother David, and his little sister Graciela, who all died in Auschwitz, came to mind. I was wondering if their deaths would have provided enough ‘context’ to these presidents to condemn the Nazis’ antisemitic propaganda.”

I reported on Hamas in Gaza for over a decade. The questions I’m asking myself now.

 

 by Ilene Prusher

We arrive at Erez Checkpoint. Israeli soldiers thumb through our passports, examine every item in our bags, then wave us through. After a long walk through a barricaded no-man’s land, Palestinian officers register our names and passport numbers, then press us for a list of people we’re planning to meet. Our Palestinian fixer intervenes, reminds the guys with the guns to be nice to us foreigners, and presto: We’re in Gaza. On the list of the three or four people we’re scheduled to see in the course of the day is at least one senior official in Hamas.

This is a routine I participated in, on and off, for 16 years of my life while reporting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for the American media throughout the 1990s and 2000s, up until my last trip to Gaza in January 2009 at the end of another Israel-Hamas war that shocked the world and caused needless death and destruction. Later, in 2014, I covered a far deadlier 50-day Israel-Hamas war for TIME magazine, this time from southern Israel, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, mainly because by then I had two toddlers at home and no longer believed entering Gaza was worth the risk.

Der Goy.... the Satmar Yiddish Weekly, Boasts and Quotes Fat Nadler's Sick & Perverted Speech in Congress That Anti-Zionism is not Anti-Semitism

 
Jewish husbands and children in uniform are dying daily, but what does "Der Goy" put on its Front page? 
Fat Nadler's sick speech to a bunch of Goyim that it is ok to hate Zionists and support the Palestinian cause because to express hateful words against Zionism isn't being antisemitic! 

I dare the fatso to find me a solitary goy that hates a Zionist but loves a Jew! I dare this chunk of lard to show me one single goy that can distinguish between a Satmar Shvantz and a Chilonie?

Do you think that Hamas wants to rape and mutilate only non-tzneesdik chiloinie girls? I'll bet they would have taken the Hebrew-speaking Satmar rebbetzin just the same. 

Satmar savages in this time of war are proud that their bizarre outdated Romanian SHIT'ah is being spread across the USA and in Congress!

Will this bring "Ahavas Yisrael?," or will this bring hate? 

Is there one member in Congress who is going to now love Jews because of this vile explanation by a sick piece of scum who votes against every single Torah value in Congress? 

This is the guy who Satmar is proud of!

I keep telling you guys that Satmar and the Neturei Karta are one of the same, they are both on the same page and have the exact same ideology.
Satmar keeps saying "Oh we have distanced ourselves from them, the Rebbe z"l threw them out." 

Oh ye? Tell me again of which Satmar institution were they thrown out of? Of which shul were they thrown out of? Did Satmar refuse to inter-marry with these sickos? 
Who is funding them? Can someone tell me who funds them? Not one of them works! Not one! 
The answer is simple.. Satmar Chassidim fund them, big time!

UN Sec-Gen the Jew hater is a ‘Danger To World Peace’ He Must Resign!

 


Secretary-General of the United Nations António Guterres invoked Article 99 of the UN Charter on Wednesday, a first during the high-ranking official’s tenure.

Article 99 allows the Secretary-General to “bring to the attention of the Security Council any matter which in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security.”

“Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared,” Guterres said in a statement.

Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen responded in a tweet saying that the tenure of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is “a danger to world peace.”

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan ripped into Guterres, calling on him to resign, saying the Secretary-General has reached a new moral low.

UN Hoarding Food Away from Gaza Civilians in a Deliberate Attempt to Have them Starve to Blame Israel

 



A video posted on social media appears to show desperate Gazan civilians ransacking the UN's  stockpile of supplies.

The video would support longstanding suspicions that the UNRWA is corrupt and refuses to do its ostensible job–protecting civilians

The footage was posted on popular Palestinian social media accounts expressing anger at the UN Relief and Works Agency, accusing it of holding on to humanitarian aid.

The agency, a UN group that claims to help Palestinians, has long faced accusations of corruption, and Israel believes it is merely a wing of Hamas.

The “Jerusalem Rises” account tweeted : “Today, people in the Gaza Strip attacked UNRWA warehouses and found large quantities of rice, lentils, flour and oil! While the people are starving and literally have nothing to eat!”

The “Gaza Report” account cited a low-level UNRWA employee as saying he was “shocked by the amount of food, cleaning materials, mattresses, and tents ready, in large numbers, piling up in the warehouses.”

Dramatic videos earlier this week showed local Gazans throw stones and withstand gunfire from Hamas agents in order to stop them from looting new humanitarian aid shipments that crossed in from Rafah.
