Harvard, the most prestigious university in America, has undergone a profound ideological shift. According to Ruth Wisse, who taught at Harvard between 1993 and 2014, the institution It no longer defends academic freedom, but has become a bastion of left-wing radicals and Islamist ideology..
In an article in The Wall Street Journal, Wisse states that Harvard's decline cannot be reversed by mere government warnings, since The new culture is deeply rooted.. Other teachers and former students share this concern.
A university that normalises hate
The attacks of 11 September 2001 and those by Hamas on 7 October 2023 made it clear that jihadism no longer operates solely militarily, but also through cultural and intellectual infiltration into the West.
On 8 October 2023, the Harvard Committee for Solidarity with Palestine It issued a statement holding Israel responsible for the violence., with the support of more than 30 student organisations. A few days later, on 12 October, the Students for Justice in Palestine group called for a «Day of Resistance», during which the rhetoric of the intifada and revolutionary unity was exalted.
According to the article, This discourse was practically non-existent in the early 2000s..
The expansion of radical thought at the university has meant that today Harvard and other North American campuses are springboards for a new ideological struggle against the West.
Campuses overrun by Islamism
Ruth Wisse warns that jihadist methods have evolved alarmingly. The war against the West is no longer fought solely with weapons., but it has moved into the cultural and intellectual realm. According to her, The strategy is to infiltrate prestigious educational institutions to question Western values., to promote hatred against Israel and weaken the democratic foundations.
This «soft», yet devastating, assault has taken hold on university campuses, with Harvard at the forefront as the most emblematic example.
Wisse points out that universities which once championed freedom and open debate have become platforms for radical political agitation, where critical thinking has been replaced by ideological militancy. This new cultural battle, he says, threatens the very foundation of Western civilisation, in the name of a false idea of justice and resistance.
Arab money and ideological influence
Between 2020 and 2024, Harvard received more than 100 million dollars in donations. from the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bangladesh.
A background which, according to Ruth Wisse, has not been neutral, but rather they have served to facilitate the establishment of student structures aligned with Islamist jihadism on campus.
This financial support, it is alleged, not only shapes thought through academic projects and cycles, but also protects and strengthens political movements hostile to American values and to Israel. Harvard, which Historically a bastion of free debate and the search for truth, it has ended up becoming a useful instrument for foreign interests that question democracy., They promote antisemitism and erode the cultural pillars of the West.
