Harvard, 2023's Worst School for Free Speech, Claims Commitment to 'Free Expression' for Pro-Hamas Students
Harvard, 2023's Worst School for Free Speech, Claims Commitment to 'Free Expression' for Pro-Hamas Students:
While Harvard says it is committed to protecting free speech on paper, the university has “a dismal record of responding to deplatforming attempts — attempts to sanction students, student groups, scholars, and speakers for speech protected under First Amendment standards,” FIRE said.
From 2019 to this year, for example, Harvard sanctioned four scholars, three of whom the school terminated.

The perfect democrat for antisemites-----The Specter Of Barack Obama’s Deeply Held Anti-Israel Ideology Hovers Over Israeli Attacks
The Specter Of Barack Obama’s Deeply Held Anti-Israel Ideology Hovers Over Israeli Attacks - MARK HEMINGWAYT/RAWPIXEL/PUBLIC DOMAIN 
- Obama embraced antisemites, steeped himself in anti-American ideas, and cozied up to Iran — and now he leaves a violent legacy.
In August, Tablet magazine published a much-discussed, comprehensive interview between David Samuels and Obama biographer David Garrow. The biggest headlines that emerged from that interview had to do with Garrow uncovering letters where Obama wrote in detail about his gay sex fantasies.
But buried beneath that revelation was a substantial discussion of Obama’s anti-Israel politics...... early girlfriend, Sheila Miyoshi Jager...told a very different version of events. At the time they were dating, a Chicago mayoral aide named Steve Cokely, in conjunction with notorious Nation of Islam founder Louis Farrakhan, had “accused Jewish doctors in Chicago of infecting Black babies with AIDS as part of a genocidal plot against African Americans,” and she broke up with Obama after he pointedly refused to condemn Cokely’s obvious antisemitism.
(Obama would later meet up with the execrable Farrakhan when he was a senator and take a smiling photo with him; the photo was taken in 2005 and mysteriously was never released until 2018.)

Facing mounting pressure, the Biden administration deferred deportation of a devout Christian family who fled Germany. The matriarch told Glenn Beck 'prayers are powerful' - TheBlaze:
A devout Christian family fled to the U.S. 15 years ago on account of its persecution by the German state. Despite an initially successful asylum claim and setting down roots in Tennessee, the Obama administration saw fit to deracinate the Romeike clan. The Biden administration was set to follow through with the family's expulsion this month but came up against significant opposition.
