Yale ignored Jewish groups’ demands for Houria Bouteldja not to be allowed to lecture during the holy season. She has also been accused of homophobia.
Yale University is being blasted for hosting a French academic accused of horrific anti-Semitism during Passover – defying Jewish groups who pleaded with the college to call off the lecture.
Yale ignored demands from campaign group StopAntisemitism not to host Bouteldja during one of Judaism’s holiest seasons, when it would be impossible for observant students to debate her. Bouteldja said “I am” Mohammed Merah, an Islamic jihadist who murdered a rabbi and three children in a mass shooting at a Jewish day school and killed two off-duty soldiers during a series of attacks in Toulouse, France.Other critics of Bouteldja’s visit, including actor and Jewish advocate Jonah Platt, said they were dismayed by the timing of her lecture, which occurred on the second night of Passover.
“It feels underhanded, like there’s a sinister agenda at work,” Platt continued. “I certainly empathize with the students who feel they were not being taken care of or seen or heard by their university.” “Hate against Jews is one of the oldest and most nefarious ills of human history, and we’re seeing it increasing dramatically world-wide right now, including here in New Haven. The world needs less hate — not more, and I hope that the campus community will do better in this vein going forward.”which has a foreword by the firebrand former Harvard and Princeton professor Cornel West, claims that the existence of Israel is a plot by white Europeans to uphold white supremacy.
She also dismissed the 9/11 attacks as “towers are struck by airliners and collapse like a house of cards,” and described the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London of 2005, when four UK-born suicide attackers killed 56 innocent commuters as “bombs explode in the subway.”
