"Harvard's Response to Antisemitism: Task Forces and Lawsuits"
Harvard University's appointment of Derek Penslar, a professor of Jewish history, to its anti-Semitism task force has sparked controversy due to his past comments referring to Israel as an "apartheid regime." This comes amid ongoing concerns about anti-Semitic incidents at the university, including calls for genocide against Jews and protests against Israel. The appointment has raised questions about Penslar's suitability for the task force, given his previous statements about Israel.
