Harvard Finance Prof Accused of Attack on Pro-Israel Woman - Daniel Greenfield

Another example of how the "educated" elite behaves

The Ivy League is truly elite.

A Jewish member of the Harvard Club claims she was assaulted by a professor during a pro-Palestinian lecture at the swanky venue — and then was booted by the Ivy League institution.

The Harvard Club is a prestigious private club for Harvard alumni, faculty, etc... which decided to feature a lecture by one of Obama's nastier pals, Rashid Khalidi.

Levine, 28, a marketing manager in Brooklyn, said she was a newly minted member of the 154-year old club when she and her mom attended a February 2019 lecture called, “The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine” by Rashid Khalidi, a former press officer for the Palestinian Liberation Organization.

A terrorist group.

She said she “peacefully” asked during a question-and-answer session how Mideast peace could be achieved if Palestinians are taught “to support terrorism against Jews and Israelis.”
The audience erupted in “mob-like” fury at her query, according to the lawsuit.
Harvard finance professor Faris Mousa Saah, 53, called her a whore in Arabic and grabbed her by the arm, bruising it as he tried to take the microphone, according to court papers.

Is Harvard okay with this? It's a safe bet that it is. 

Saah later claimed he had feared Levine would hurt Khalidi and that she had been “aggressively and maniacally” dancing around with the microphone, according to court papers.

Why bother coming up with a more plausible story?

A spokeswoman for the Harvard Club claimed Levine “disrupted a Club program. She was subsequently removed from membership in accordance with the Club’s bylaws.”

The club program was promoting terrorism and the destruction of Israel.​
