| | Good Monday morning. In today’s Daily Kickoff , we cover the continued fallout from last week’s Capitol Hill hearing on antisemitism on college campuses, and report on comments from Sen. Lindsey Graham at the Doha Forum on Sunday. Also in today’s Daily Kickoff : Vice President Kamala Harris, Julie Platt and Alexis Grenell. In Washington tonight, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are hosting their annual Hanukkah reception. Central Synagogue Rabbi Angela Buchdahl will lead the candlelighting, which will be done by Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and descendants of Holocaust survivors. One of the unanticipated takeaways from last week’s closely watched congressional hearing on antisemitism is that leading Democrats have, belatedly, joined the furor over the indulgence of anti-Israel and antisemitic radicalism on the nation’s elite campuses, Jewish Insider Editor-in-Chief Josh Kraushaar writes. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), the star questioner of the hapless university presidents at the hearing, received some begrudging respect from her critics on the left. Emhoff, at the annual national Menorah Lighting last Thursday, denounced the university presidents’ lack of moral clarity as “unacceptable.” About a dozen House Democrats wrote a letter on Friday to the boards of Harvard, MIT and the University of Pennsylvania demanding answers on how they’re dealing with ascendant antisemitism on their campuses after the disastrous hearing. Even Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), whose political base is the academic left, told CNBC last week: “If you can't lead, if you can't stand up and say what's right and wrong — very much in the extreme cases, and these are the extreme cases, then you've got a problem.” As The New York Times put it in a headline Sunday, “Republicans have been attacking elite universities for years. After a tense congressional hearing last week, many on the left are joining them.” It’s now evident that these university presidents, cosseted in an ideological bubble on campuses, were totally unprepared when their traditional allies didn’t come to defend them. Instead, in a rare example in today’s polarized Washington, they invited a bipartisan uproar over their lack of moral leadership. Elizabeth Magill, the president of the University of Pennsylvania, is now out, her fate sealed not just by her tone-deaf answers but the dismissive smirk she displayed in addressing Stefanik’s questions about whether calling for the genocide of Jews constituted bullying or harassment on her campus. Harvard President Claudine Gay is also facing the heat at Harvard, and later apologized for her answers at the hearing. (MIT President Sally Kornbluth, by contrast, issued no follow-up statement and her board has announced support for her to remain.) The looming question is whether this moment of clarity will lead to a deeper examination of why there’s been so much antisemitism on these elite campuses in the first place. Rabbi David Wolpe, who resigned last week from Harvard’s antisemitism advisory committee, wrote: “The system at Harvard along with the ideology that grips far too many of the students and faculty, the ideology that works only along axes of oppression and places Jews as oppressors and therefore intrinsically evil, is itself evil.” This worldview is pervasive at most universities, and is backed by a layer of administrative bureaucracy that makes it a more systemic problem than any one individual. Now that more Americans are paying attention to where these ideas lead, will this bipartisan moment lead to more politicians waking up to the problem? As Fareed Zakaria said on his CNN show Sunday: “To understand [the university presidents’] performance, we have to understand the broad shift that has taken place at elite universities, which have gone from being centers of excellence to institutions pursuing political agendas. People sense the transformation.” Spread the word!

The controversy centers on the faculty co-chair of the committee, Ari Kelman, an associate professor in Stanford's Graduate School of Education and Religious Studies, and his record of downplaying the threat of campus antisemitism along with his recent alliances with anti-Israel groups, eJewishPhilanthropy’s Haley Cohen reports for Jewish Insider.
Kelman’s conclusion: Kelman authored a 2017 paper on antisemitism he co-wrote with several other Stanford faculty members. The 36-page report, called “Safe on the Sidelines,” concluded that antisemitism isn’t a problem on college campuses because “different representations of campus culture come from the difficulties in defining what counts as political speech and what counts as antisemitism.”
Student concerns: That conclusion, along with Kelman's appointment and whether the committee will consider anti-Zionism as a form of antisemitism, "concerns a number of us," a Jewish MBA student at Stanford who requested anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter told JI.
Problematic partnerships: Kelman also served on the academic board of Open Hillel, which has worked to overturn Hillel International’s guidelines that prevent partnering with anti-Zionist groups or individuals. The Open Hillel group has pushed for anti-Israel groups such as Jewish Voice for Peace, an organization that advocates for the boycott of Israel and eradication of Zionism, to be included, even as these groups have been responsible for the growing hostility on campus against Jewish, pro-Israel students. Immediately after the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack against Israel, Jewish Voice for Peace released a statement declaring: “The Root of Violence Is Oppression,” laying the blame for the massacre on Israel.

UPENN PROBLEMS UPenn president resigns amid uproar over inaction against antisemitism  Kevin Dietsch/Getty Image Facing mounting criticism of inaction against growing antisemitism on campus, University of Pennsylvania President Elizabeth Magill resigned on Saturday. Her resignation comes four days after she evaded questioning on Capitol Hill over whether students who called for the genocide of Jews violated the school’s code of conduct. The news was announced in an email from Scott Bok, the chairman of the board of trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, Jewish Insider Editor in Chief Josh Kraushaar reports. Bok, who had been a defender of Magill amid the rising criticism, announced his own resignation in a separate statement later on Saturday.
Email announcement: ”I write to share that President Liz Magill has voluntarily tendered her resignation as President of the University of Pennsylvania,” Bok wrote in a statement. The email did not mention antisemitism or this week’s hearing, nor did it offer a reason for her resignation. Magill will remain as president until an interim leader is chosen. She will also maintain her role as a tenured law professor at the university’s law school.
Magill’s message: “It has been my privilege to serve as president of this remarkable institution,” Magill wrote. “It has been an honor to work with our faculty, students, staff, alumni and community members to advance Penn’s vital missions.”

Her appointment followed the resignation of the chair, Scott Bok, and the school’s president, Elizabeth Magill, on Saturday night, the board announced in a statement to the Penn community. Platt, who was named vice chair of the board earlier this year, said that she will stay in the role of interim chair only until a successor is found, which she said should be in the next few weeks, eJewishPhilanthropy’s Judah Ari Gross reports.
Platt’s priorities: “I made clear that my priority is my role as chair of the Jewish Federations of North America, and, therefore, agreed to do so and lead the process of selecting a new chair by the start of the next semester, which begins in January 2024,” Platt said in a statement released by JFNA.
Finding a replacement: In its statement, the executive committee of the Penn board said that the nominating committee would begin an “expeditious process” to recommend the next chair to the executive committee before the start of the spring semester.

Lindsey Graham (R-SC) praised Qatar and pledged to continue to push for normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia and for a two-state solution between the Israelis and Palestinians, in an address to the Doha Forum yesterday. In his opening remarks to the conference, ahead of a conversation with former State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus, Graham heaped praise on the host country before delivering lengthy comments about the Israel-Hamas war, Jewish Insider’s Tamara Zieve reports.
Ode to Qatar: “I want to thank you [Qatar] for what you have done for my country,” he said. “You get some criticism, and Hamas is here — but I know why they’re here, they’re here so they can be talked to. And you do things for the world that sometimes is not so popular, but I just want to let you know that I appreciate what you do, I love coming here and you’re more the solution than the problem.”
Defeating Iran: Graham described Iran as the “root of most of the problems in the region.” Suggesting that Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel was inspired, at least in part, by the “desire of Iran to make sure Saudi Arabia never reconcile with Israel,” Graham asserted that without Iran, there is no Hamas. “What I think happened, Morgan, this attack, at least in part, was designed to make sure that the big prize, Saudi Arabia, would never be able to recognize Israel and vice-versa,” Graham continued. “The biggest fear of the Ayatollah [Ali Khameini] is that the Arab world in conjunction with Israel marches toward the light away from the darkness. They hate that idea that everybody in this room can find a way to work with Israel and live with Israel, where everybody makes money and can live in peace… So I believe we cannot let Iran win. And for Iran to lose would be the following: We not give up on the efforts to reconcile Saudi Arabia with Israel, that we not give up on a new way of doing business with the Palestinians after this war is over,” Graham said.

Campbell's comments Deputy secretary of state nominee rejects conditioning aid to Israel, discusses normalization with Saudi  AP PHOTO/MARIAM ZUHAIB Kurt Campbell, the nominee to be the U.S.’ deputy secretary of state, on Thursday rejected the idea of placing conditions on U.S. aid to Israel, as a group of Senate Democrats are seeking to do, Jewish Insider’s Marc Rod reports.
No conditions: “My own personal view is, and I believe that this is the view of the president and the administration, is that we are standing side by side with Israel in an absolutely desperate fight, that they're facing enormous challenges, the worst terrorist attack in their history,” Campbell said at his confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “It would not… at this time” be his advice to condition aid to Israel, he continued.
No blank check: Campbell also noted that under existing U.S. law, “all aid at some level is conditioned — we don’t just send money out the door. We go through a careful process both at the State Department and the inter-agency.” Some Senate supporters of conditions have claimed that U.S. aid would be an unaccountable “blank check” to Israel if new conditions were not imposed.
Normalization outlook: “We can be carefully encouraged by some of the discussions that we've had to date that indicate that there still is a willingness among the key players to restart this process and continue it,” Campbell said. “Ultimately, our goal will be to entrench Israel diplomatically in the region. I believe that is in our best interests. I also believe it is in the best interest of the countries that we work with closely in the Gulf including Saudi Arabia.”

ROSENFELD/GETTY IMAGES Pushing back against a news report claiming widespread support for a cease-fire within the U.S. Jewish community, hundreds of rabbis signed onto an open letter, circulated on Friday, lambasting the story and arguing that a wide swath of the Jewish community is united against calls for a cease-fire in Gaza. The story, published on Thursday by NBC News, highlighted a petition signed by 500 staffers of Jewish organizations — nearly 20% of whom signed anonymously — calling for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza, Jewish Insider’s Gabby Deutch reports.
Rejecting the claim: “There is not broad support within the Jewish community for a ceasefire. Not now,” the letter written by the rabbis said. After being sent around on Friday morning, the letter had garnered 430 signatories from across the religious spectrum. Each of its three organizers came from different communities: one Reform, one Conservative and one Orthodox.
Community position: “[The staffers' petition] is not representative of where the overall Jewish community sits today,” Rabbi David-Seth Kirshner, a Conservative rabbi at Temple Emanu-El in Closter, N.J., who helped organize the letter, told JI on Friday. “What the NBC article did was to try and give an angle that represents a minority that will pit groups against each other, but it's not representative of where we really find ourselves today.”
The original letter: The pro-cease-fire letter featured several signatories from rabbinical schools, most of them anonymous. In 2021, dozens of rabbinical students signed onto a letter calling on U.S. Jewish communities to hold Israel accountable for alleged human rights abuses; the letter faced widespread backlash and anger from pulpit rabbis.

One of these inconsistencies is that history didn’t start in 1948 when the state of Israel was established. Jews are not recent colonizers of the Levant but have been native to the region for millennia. Nor are we always racialized as white — not even those of us with ancestry from Europe, where we’ve famously been hunted on racial grounds. Jews descended from the Middle East and North Africa, known as Mizrahim, make up nearly half of Israel’s population. These are largely brown-skinned people who were violently expelled from Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and other Arab countries for being Jews. Denying that reality because it complicates a simplistic framework of white supremacy does nothing to advance peace. The only thing it does is advance the stated goal of Hamas, and the goal of most anti-Zionists: to eradicate the state of Israel. If those who are calling for a cease-fire are truly interested in peace, they should be equally invested in calling for the hostages to be released (and less concerned with debating whether Hamas really raped their victims or merely murdered them in cold blood).” [TheNation]
A Mother’s Lament: In The Free Press, Ayelet Levy-Shachar writes about her daughter Naama, one of 17 women still being held hostage in Gaza, whose abduction was captured on video. “In addition to being Naama Levy’s mother, I’m also a primary care doctor and the team physician for Israel’s women’s soccer team. I work with young women, and I understand the medical risks of spending every day in darkness, without enough nutrition or medical care or even basic hygiene. As a mother, I simply worry: Did my daughter’s captors give her a clean change of clothes, or is she still sitting in the same bloody sweatpants she was abducted in? There’s a reason why women and children were prioritized first for release: younger women are at greater risk for further trauma. Just as women and girls are more vulnerable to more forms of violence, they are also more vulnerable to suffering from infections and pregnancy from sexual violence. The longer Naama is held in captivity, the more violence she is subjected to, the more likely she will suffer the consequences of lifelong post-traumatic stress. When she is released, I pray that the image of her abduction, and the experience of what that image represents, isn’t how she comes to see the world.” [FreePress]
Silent on Sexual Violence: The Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan raises concerns about Oct. 7 denialism, specifically around the mass sexual assault of Israeli women. “If half of this testimony is true, then what was done to the women at the music festival and in the kibbutzim wasn’t a series of isolated crimes. It happened at scale, as part of a pattern, and with a deliberateness that strongly suggests it was systematic. The rape, torture and mutilation of women looks as if it was part of the battle plan. Hamas used sexual violence as a weapon. Why has the progressive left in the West, for two months now, been disbelieving, silent or equivocal about what Hamas did to women? One answer is that the progressive left hates Israel and feels whatever is done to Israelis is justified. Another is that the sick brutality of Hamas’s actions undercuts its position in the world, undercutting too the cause they falsely claim to represent, that of the Palestinian people. Why have women’s groups of the progressive left been silent? Because at bottom they aren’t for women; they are for the team.” [WSJ]
Red Alert: In The Free Press, Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner writes about his shock over the surge in antisemitism after Oct. 7. “I also thought Israel’s right to exist in the democratic world was nonnegotiable and nobody — except for the extremist mortal enemies of Israel — would ever think otherwise. And that if worst came to worst, we could always rely on America, with its love of freedom, to stand at Israel’s side. The last few weeks have shown every one of my assumptions to have been sadly mistaken. Since October 7, anything is possible.” [FreePress] | How is your workplace supporting its Jewish employees?
