Subject: RE: Israeli Couscous Salad RE: Israeli Couscous Salad Dear Professor Kaplan, Earlier today we received a similar inquiry from one of our students and we provided the below response on behalf of Yale Hospitality: To provide context and clarity, I will share some background on our process. In July, we began the ongoing process of reviewing and planning our new menus. Authenticity of the food and naming of the recipes have been a concern brought to us by students in the past. There were times that they felt our food did not ¡°authentically¡± represent the country or ethnicity referenced in the name. To that end, our team made the decision to remove names of countries and ethnicities from recipes. However, you have raised a point that merits further consideration. In this case, Israeli Couscous is indeed an actual ingredient and is explicitly listed on the ingredient list. Considering it is the main ingredient, it is appropriate to remain in the title, and we will correct this oversight. On behalf of my team and Yale Hospitality, I would like to assure you that the principles of diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging are values that we are and continue to be committed to. Thank you once again for bringing this matter to our attention. James James Benson Director of Culinary Excellence james.benson@...

Letter to Pres. Salovey fw: Vandalism of menorah on the Green 7
FYI, I sent this letter to President Salovey, Provost Strobel, and Secretary Goff-Crews moments ago. I have shared with Gayle Slossberg at Federation. I encourage others to write as well if they wish. From: Sasso, David <david.sasso@...> Sent: Sunday, December 10, 2023 12:38 PM To: President Peter Salovey <president@...>; Salovey, Peter <peter.salovey@...> Cc: Strobel, Scott <scott.strobel@...>; Goff-Crews, Kimberly <kimberly.goff-crews@...> Subject: Vandalism of menorah on the Green Dear President Salovey, I hope that you and your loved ones are enjoying a happy Hanukkah, made all the more difficult, and meaningful, by the events we confront at this time. Following up on our conversation in October and your letter after the recent congressional hearings, I want to make sure that you are aware of this incident on the New Haven Green yesterday. It was part of an event that I understand was cosponsored by Yalies4Palestine. (Some will argue that the other participants wanted the flag taken down because it was important to them not to vandalize a menorah. It is clear from listening to the video that they were instead concerned with optics.) https://x.com/craftsmanbob/status/1733653101666615610?s=46&t=6Gpgdj7Bl0cJmL6L3ig2aA I trust that Yale will investigate to determine if any of these were Yale students. Will there be a statement from the University condemning what occurred? Even if these were not Yale-affiliated students, this occurred in Yale¡®s backyard, and the event was sponsored by a Yale affiliated group (which should no longer receive Yale support or recognition). I urge you to consider what kind of statement Yale would release if such an incident were to occur in New Haven, cosponsored by a Yale student group targeting a religious or cultural symbol of any other group and to act without double standard. Your recent letter stated: ¡°Chants or messages that express hatred, celebrate the killing of civilians, or contain calls for genocide of any group are utterly against our ideals and certainly are not characteristic of our broader community.¡± The march yesterday included chants that, as you well know, do all of those things. I urge you to demonstrate to the world that Yale will not tolerate such behavior or language, just as you would do, and have done, in many other instances. Free speech is a bedrock principle. What is occurring has crossed from free speech into calls for violence and actual vandalism of a religious symbol. The double standards are glaring. This is not the time to hide behind free speech. We have seen what the world thinks of that sort of equivocation. As always, I welcome your response and further conversation. Sincerely, David -- David A.

Speech by Geert Wilders
Dear friends, Thank you very much for inviting me. I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe. First, I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe . Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem . The Europe you know is changing. You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration. All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe . These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city. There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe . With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule. Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden . In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities. In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims. Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin. In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin . The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity. In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels , because he was drinking during the Ramadan. Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel . I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization. A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live. San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century. Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France . On

End DEI
https://andrewsullivan.substack.com/p/the-day-the-empress-clothes-fell-ffa The Day The Empress' Clothes Fell Off Did the Congressional hearings finally expose the scandal of the Ivy League? ANDREW SULLIVAN | DEC 8, 2023 It may be too much to expect that the Congressional hearings this week, starring the three presidents of Harvard, MIT, and Penn, will wake people up to the toxic collapse of America¡¯s once-great Ivy League. But I can hope, can¡¯t I? In the immortal words of Hitch (peace be upon him), as you listen to these people, ¡°You see how far the termites have spread, and how long and well they have dined.¡± The mediocrities smirked, finessed, condescended, and stonewalled. Take a good look at them. These are the people who now select our elites. And they select them, as they select every single member of the faculty, and every student, by actively discriminating against members of certain ¡°privileged¡± groups and aggressively favoring other ¡°marginalized¡± ones. They were themselves appointed in exactly the same way, from DEI-approved pools of candidates. As a Harvard dean, Claudine Gay¡¯s top priority was ¡°making more progress on diversity,¡± i.e. intensifying the already systemic race, sex and gender discrimination that defines the place. Thanks to the recent Supreme Court case, the energetic discrimination against Asian-American candidates for admission at Harvard is no longer in doubt. But countless other candidates for admission have little to no chance, regardless of their grades, or extracurriculars, because they belong to the wrong race, sex, sexual orientation, and ¡°gender identity.¡± As soon as students are admitted under this identity framework, they are taught its core precepts: that the ¡°truth¡± ¡ª or, in Harvard¡¯s now-ironic motto, ¡°Veritas¡± ¡ª is a function not of logic or reason or of open, free, robust debate and dialogue, let alone of Western civilization, but of inimical and evil ¡°power structures¡± rooted in identity that need to be dismantled first. Identity first; truth second ¡ª because truth is rooted in identity and cannot exist outside of it. In the hearings, President Gay actually said, with a straight face, that ¡°we embrace a commitment to free expression even of views that are objectionable, offensive, hateful.¡± This is the president whose university mandates all students attend a Title IX training session where they are told that ¡°fatphobia¡± and ¡°cisheterosexism¡± are forms of ¡°violence,¡± and that ¡°using the wrong pronouns¡± constitutes ¡°abuse.¡± This is the same president who engineered the ouster of a law professor, Ronald Sullivan, simply because he represented a client, of whom Gay and students (rightly but irrelevantly) disapproved, Harvey Weinstein. This is the same president who watched a brilliant and popular professor, Carole Hooven, be effectively hounded out of her position after a public shaming campaign by one of her department¡¯s DEI enforcers, and a mob of teaching fellows, because Hooven dared to state on television that biological sex is binary. This is the president of a university where a grand total of 1.46 percent of faculty call themselves ¡°conservative¡± and 82 percent call themselves ¡°liberal¡± or ¡°very liberal.¡± This is the president of a university which ranked 248th out of 248 colleges this year on free speech (and Penn was the 247th), according to the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. Harvard is a place where free expression goes to die. The critics who keep pointing out ¡°double standards¡± when it comes to the inflammatory speech of pro-Palestinian students miss the point. These are not double standards. There is a single standard: It is fine to malign, abuse and denigrate ¡°oppressors¡± and forbidden to do so against the ¡°oppressed.¡± Freedom of speech in the Ivy League extends exclusively to the voices of the oppressed; they are also permitted to disrupt classes, deplatform or shout down controversial speakers, hurl obscenities, force members of oppressor groups ¡ª i.e. Jewish students and teachers in the latest case ¡ª into locked libraries and offices during prot
