Harvard\u2019s chapter of Hillel, a Jewish advocacy group, and other student organizations protested his invitation due to his anti-Semitic past, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/ketanji-brown-jackson-harvard-group-invited-alleged-anti-semite.amp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> on Monday by Fox News, citing a 1992 Harvard Crimson article.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Crimson reported on Feb. 6 that Jeffries denied he was an anti-Semite and claimed that Black people valued peace and equality more than the \u2018people of the ice\u2019 \u2013 his term for White people \u2013 do,\u201d the report noted.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News also cited a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjpa.org\/content\/upload\/bjpa\/issu\/ISSUES%202.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> by the American Jewish Committee (AJC) released in 1991 concerning Jeffries that referred to him \u201cand the Anti-Semitic Branch of the Afrocentrism Movement,\u201d highlighting several of his alleged anti-Semitic claims:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The report, released the year before Jeffries spoke at Harvard, said that he \u201cpreaches Jew-hatred like a religion.\u201d The report noted that Jeffries organized a 1990 conference for Black teachers that featured anti-Semitic rhetoric and reading materials.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>According to the report, Jeffries also claimed that Jesus, Moses, and Buddha were all Black. The report noted that \u201cthe Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the anti-Semitic Czarist forgery that alleges a worldwide Jewish conspiracy, and which fueled many pogroms, was sold at the conference.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The ADL investigated Jeffries in a lengthy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adl.org\/resources\/reports\/schooled-in-hate-anti-semitism-on-campus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> on black academics espousing anti-Semitic views:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The New York Times reported that in an April 1990 class on African heritage, Jeffries said that \u201crich Jews who financed the development of Europe also financed the slave trade,\u201d and that \u201cthe Jewish Holocaust is raised as the only Holocaust.\u201d The Times also reported that Jeffries has taught students in his classes that Blacks are \u201csun people,\u201d humanistic and communal, and whites are \u201cice people,\u201d cold, unfeeling oppressors.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jeffries exploded onto the public scene in August 1991, when the New York Post published an account of a vitriolic anti-Semitic and racist speech he made on July 20 at the Empire State Black Arts and Cultural Festival in Albany, New York. Jeffries asserted that \u201crich Jews\u201d controlled the Black slave trade, and that Hollywood was the site of a Jewish-dominated conspiracy to systematically denigrate Blacks. He called then-Assistant U.S. Secretary of Education Diane Ravitch the \u201cultimate, supreme, sophisticated, debonair racist\u201d and a \u201cTexas Jew.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite the past concerns related to anti-Semitism, President Joe Biden announced Jackson last month as his nominee for the Supreme Court to replace Justice Stephen Breyer, a Clinton-era appointee who recently announced his retirement. The president referred to Jackson in a Twitter post as \u201ca proven consensus builder, an accomplished lawyer, and a distinguished jurist.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Judge Jackson is a proven consensus builder, an accomplished lawyer, and a distinguished jurist.

Judge Jackson is a hand-picked selection from far-Left groups like Demand Justice, who fully expect her to rule according to their progressive judicial philosophy rather than uphold the Constitution. During her tenure on the D.C. Court of Appeals, she has assembled a judicial record that prioritizes the abortion industry and illegal immigration interest groups ahead of a faithful interpretation of the law. Not only is Judge Jackson the wrong pick for the Court, but Biden\u2019s timing of the announcement is shameful given Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine,\u201d Heritage Action Executive Director Jessica Anderson wrote, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/heritageaction.com\/press\/conservatives-must-oppose-activist-judge-ketanji-brown-jacksons-supreme-court-nomination\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> shared with The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConservatives should use the confirmation process to expose the disastrous effect of liberal judges on the nation. For decades, the Left-wing judicial activism machine has installed judges who are out of touch with the American people and who disregard the meaning of the Constitution and precedent in favor of special interests and their personal political leanings,\u201d she added.<u><\/u><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
