It was a question heard around the world.
“Does calling for the genocide of the Jews violate it? Harvard University Rules bullying and harassment? yes or no?”
Congresswoman Elise StefanikHis relatively simple question at an Education Committee and Workforce Committee hearing on anti-Semitism was not meant to be a trick question.

Yet in a remarkable moment that exposed the anti-Semitic rot infecting American higher education, the then morally bankrupt presidents of MIT, Penn, and my alma mater Harvard testified that calls for genocide against Jewish students could be acceptable “depending on the context.”
WHAT ŠTEFANICA’S INTERNSHIP REVEALS WHAT A UN AMBASSADOR CAN BE
Štefanik’s question was unfortunately not hypothetical. Harassment and harassment of Jewish students on American campuses has gone relatively unchecked as administrators favor those who chant “Death to America” and call for genocide against the Jewish people and the state of Israel. I know because I saw it firsthand as a Jewish student on the campus of Harvard University over the past year.
Since it is Hamas’s invasion of Israel On October 7, 2023, there was an explosion of anti-Semitism at America’s “elite” colleges. At Harvard alone, a Jewish student was spat on, an Israeli student was asked to leave class because her nationality made her classmates “uncomfortable,” and another Israeli student was assaulted at a business school.
I was personally taunted by a staff member with a machete and challenged to discuss Jewish involvement in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Meanwhile, hostage posters were desecrated almost daily, and professors posted anti-Semitic cartoons without facing disciplinary action or accountability.
TRUMP’S UN AMBASSADOR ELISE STEFANIK COULD SAVE TAXPAYERS MILLIONS TO PRESS MUSK-RAMASWAMY ‘DOGE’
Jewish students had to endure this, forced to feel unsafe in the educational institution they chose to call home.
On the other side of the campus, Harvard students set up camps illegally, cheered loudly when they replaced the American flag overlooking Harvard with a Palestinian flag, screamed about the globalization of the intifada, screamed at all hours of the day that “Palestine will be Arab”, established our own rule of law on campus, and followed us Jews on our way to class.
Harvard has refused to publicly acknowledge these incidents or failed to address them for months and still has not disciplined the perpetrators.
As American values eroded on college campuses last year, a steady, often lonely voice of moral clarity emerged: Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.
HERE’S HOW TRUMP CAN COUPLE WITH GROWING ANTISEMITISM IN AMERICA
During my first congressional testimony, Stefanik quietly pulled me aside. “This is my contact information,” she said, “if Harvard Jewish Community if you’re ever in trouble, call me.”
Once again, Stefanik was not speaking hypothetically.
Over the past year, the congresswoman has held the door open for the American Jewish community and advanced legislation that would ease the concerns of Jewish students on college campuses. As a fellow Harvard graduate, she brought much-needed global attention to the scourge of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel hatred that has taken root in once-vaunted educational institutions.
From her direct questions at congressional hearings to her daily reminders regarding the plight of the more than 100 hostages still held by Hamas, the congresswoman has proven herself to be a fighter, a leader, and yes, a friend.
GAZA HAS BEEN SCHEDULED BY THE UN. IT’S TIME FOR A NEW ERA
This all goes to say that President Trump’s decision to nominate Stefanik as ambassador to the United Nations is a great one.
Like Harvard, the UN has become a bastion of anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli propaganda.
Under the disgraceful leadership of the Biden administration, the United Nations has passed more resolutions condemning Israel than Russia, North Korea, Iran and China… combined.
Moreover, United Nations Humanitarian Aid Agency (UNRWA), the mouthpiece of Iran-backed Hamas terrorists, has international legitimacy to propagate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict indefinitely.
Every day, unelected bureaucrats take American taxpayer money to smear and harm the United States’ greatest ally and a critical democracy in an otherwise volatile region.

Who better to stand up to the anti-Semites of the UN than a woman who successfully dealt with anti-Semites on college campuses?
Who better stand up for Israel in the UN than a woman who has done this throughout her legislative history?
Who better to advance the interests of the American Jewish community than a woman who has devoted more time to us than any other elected official?

I urge Republicans and Democrats alike to confirm Stefanik, ensuring that her strong commitment to America and American values is heard loudly in the halls of the UN in promoting President Trump’s America First Peace Through Strength agenda.
And according to United Nationslet me say this: there’s a new sheriff in town.
