ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt Slams Harvard as ‘Clearly Quite Depraved’ in Interview with Newsmax

Failing to stand up against antisemitism at Harvard is showing the university and its leadership are not only “clearly quite depraved” but also “incompetent,” according to Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt on Newsmax.

“I don’t know why I’m still surprised at the level of incompetence at that place,” Greenblatt told “The Record With Greta Van Susteren” in a recent interview.

The ADL chief said the “applauding” and even social media sharing of antisemitic speech by Harvard students and faculty show it is “clearly quite depraved.”

“At some point, you’ve got to ask, you’ve got to say: At some point, is it so cultural, so pervasive?” Greenblatt told host Greta Van Susteren in a Monday interview.

“They’re chanting things like ‘from the river to the sea.’ They’re chanting, ‘We don’t want two states, we want 48.’ They’re basically chanting for the genocide of the Jewish people. So I guess the technical term for this could be ‘gaslighting’ — telling us we are not hearing what our own ears are telling us.

“Let me be clear: Not just that anti-Zionism is antisemitism — and it is; not that just isn’t just vicious Jew hatred — and it is; but, Greta, it’s anti-American.”

The faculty retweeted a student’s “grotesque antisemitic cartoon” last month, Greenblatt lamented.

“It’s the kind of cartoon if white supremacists had put out, they all would have been upset about — with good reason. But when anti-Zionists put it out, they actually applaud. It’s shocking,” he said.

“It’s fair to point out,” though, anti-Zionism could be just cover for open antisemitism, he concluded.

“Typically, where there’s smoke, there’s fire, Greta,” Greenblatt said.
