Losing significant support from donor, but it’s even worse…
By Bob Unruh
Many American universities allowed, even protected and facilitated, a series of anti-Semitic events and anti-Israel protests over the last year, as Hamas-supporting propagandists tried to paint Israel’s response to the terror organization’s slaughter of 1,200 Israelis somehow as destroying Gaza’s children.
In fact, those children do become casualties of the conflict triggered by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, because Hamas sets up its military operations in schools, under hospitals and more.
Many of those schools were criticized for their schemes that allowed Jewish students to be harassed and bullied.
But one institution, the university of Pennsylvania, now is facing a backlash that is more damaging than just words.
It’s losing millions of dollars in donations.
And it has been informed that major corporations no longer will emphasize hiring employees who are graduates of the school.
According to a report from Fox, the donor who has severed ties to UPenn is David Magerman, venture capitalist and philanthropist, who confirmed he’s reallocated an estimated $5 million in donations away from the school.
“Magerman said he will give $1 million grants to five institutions of higher learning across Israel, including Tel Aviv University, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Bar-Ilan University and Jerusalem College of Technology,” the report said.
And the second blow to fall is that he confirmed corporations are placing less of an emphasis on hiring Ivy League graduates.
He explained, of the community of corporate executives he knows, “I think their eyes have been opened to the mentality of some of the graduates of these schools and what they’ve been learning.”
The report explained Magerman halted his donations to his alma mater last year when its political agenda became apparent.
Now he’s announcing the $5 million being directed to Israeli universities.
More will be coming, he promised.
