FASTER, PLEASE: US universities lose millions as donors pull funding over Hamas stance.

Donors are withdrawing millions of dollars in planned funding to punish US universities for their responses to Hamas’s attack on Israel, in a stand-off over free speech, higher education funding and academic leaders’ public responsibilities.

Billionaire benefactors including Apollo Global Management’s Marc Rowan and Limited Brands founder Leslie Wexner have called for stronger condemnation of Hamas and antisemitism by universities, and tougher action against students protesting against Israel. Law and investment firms have threatened to rescind job offers they had made to students, or not hire protesters when they graduate.

The pressure has left universities including Harvard, Stanford and the University of Pennsylvania struggling to contain a growing crisis, with some revising earlier statements to be more outspoken.

Others — including free speech advocates and the University of North Carolina Wilmington — have defended principles developed in the 1967 Kalven report for the University of Chicago and since used more widely that colleges should commit to academic freedom and insist on “institutional neutrality on political and social issues”.

On Tuesday, Liz Magill, president of the University of Pennsylvania, said: “Penn stands emphatically against the terrorist attacks by Hamas in Israel and against antisemitism”, but acknowledged “we should have communicated faster and more broadly about where we stand”.

Her declaration came too late for donors, including Ronald Lauder, the cosmetics heir, who criticised a recent Palestinian literature festival held on campus and said he would pull funding. Others withdrawing support included venture capitalists David Magerman and Jonathon Jacobson, and Jon Huntsman, the former US ambassador to China and ex-governor of Utah, who said he was “closing his checkbook”.

Which is why: So Far UPenn Leading In Race to Lose Donors Over Support For Hamas.

AMERICAN NAZIS: No “Space, Consideration, or Support” for Zionism at Wellesley, Demand Student Resident Advisors: They later issued a “sorry if you were offended” non-apology, and so far the university seems satisfied with that.

They wouldn’t have been as generous to College Republicans.

PALYWOOD, IS THERE ANYTHING IT CAN’T DO?  Palestinian parents take heartbreaking step of writing their children’s names on legs to ID them if killed.

Meanwhile, Israeli parents are still trying to identify their children burned by the Hamas animals.  Cry more, Palestinians. Cry more. And make sure the cameras are rolling, of course. Only fools fall for this. For years we’ve seen Israelis care more for Palestinian children than their parents do, and take enormous risks rather than bomb the schools and nurseries the Hamas animals hide weapons in.  And now it’s all this concern for the camera. Bah. You have to be a fool to believe it.

AS ISRAEL PRIMEMINISTER GOLDA MEIR SAID, LONG AGO:

We can forgive [the Arabs] for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children. We will only have peace with [the Arabs] when they love their children more than they hate us…
