Cornel West, who has defended Farrakhan, claimed that he wasn't given tenure because of his hatred for Israel. There's zero evidence of this, but as usual, zero evidence doesn't stop West from claiming things anyway. And now even the head of Harvard's Hillel has spoken out against West's antisemitic conspiracy theory. Responding to vigorous campus support for Professor Cornel R. West ’74 — who said last month Harvard declined to consider him for tenure in part due to his outspoken criticism of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians — Rabbi Jonah C. Steinberg, executive director of Harvard Hillel, criticized West for having “egged students on” in “scapegoating and demonizing” Jewish people.
