Harvard antisemitism inquiry

Harvard's antisemitism inquiry reported that Israeli and Jewish students feel unwelcome at the university, prompting calls for greater inclusivity as a remedy. An interview discussing the findings and framing some accusations of antisemitism as contested has drawn attention online, with commentary linking the debate to Palestine solidarity activism and disagreement over how campuses should balance inclusion with political criticism of Israel.

Political scientist Norman Finkelstein, in a new interview, took aim at Harvard University's antisemitism inquiry after it reported that Israeli Jewish students feel unwelcome on campus. Responding to the university's argument that it must be inclusive and embrace everyone to correct for antisemitism, Finkelstein said he was all for being inclusive, before apparently going on to challenge how the claim of campus antisemitism is being framed.
