In 2024, Harvard alum who filed antisemitism suit against university enthusiastically cheered at [[RNC]]:<ref>Jacob Magid, [https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/harvard-alum-who-filed-antisemitism-suit-against-university-enthusiastically-cheered-at-rnc/ Harvard alum who filed antisemitism suit against university enthusiastically cheered at RNC], ''TOI'', 18 July, 2024</ref> "After [[Oct 7 War|October 7]], the world finally saw what I and so many Jewish students across this country experienced almost every day." 'We are living in a culture that is anti-Western, anti-American and antisemitic. The far left-wing tide of antisemitism is rising. But tonight we fight back.'
{{Cquote|“My name Is Shabbos Kestenbaum. I am a proud first generation American. I am a proud Orthodox Jew. And as of 5 months ago, I am the proud plaintiff suing Harvard University for its failure to combat antisemitism. I came to Harvard to study religion, the foundation of Western civilization. What I found was not theology, but a contempt for it.”
Kestenbaum continued, “My problem with Harvard is not it's liberalism, but it's i-liberalism. Too often students at Harvard are taught not how to think, but what to think. I found myself immersed in a culture that is anti-Western, that is anti-American and that is antisemitic. After October 7th, the world finally saw what I and so many Jewish students across this country experienced almost every day.”
Kestenbaum said, “When I planted 1200 Israeli and American flags on campus, they were all vandalized within 24 hours. I was harassed by my peers merely for being a Jew and have received countless death threats online. Students and professors have openly called for new Hamas-style attacks against the US. And perhaps most damning, when Hamas terrorists butchered 45 American citizens on October 7th, when they took 12 Americans hostage, Harvard refused to immediately and unequivocally condemn this atrocity.”
Kestenbaum lamented, “my fellow Americans. The antisemitic bigotry unfortunately extends far beyond the universities. Although I once voted for Bernie Sanders, I now recognize that the far left has not only abandoned the Jewish people, but the American people. The Democratic Party, the party I registered to vote for the day I turned 18, has become ideologically poisoned. And it is this poison, it is this corruption, that is infecting far too many young American students. Let's be clear. The far left's antisemitic extremism has no virtue, and the radicalism on our campuses and on our streets has no moral legitimacy.
Kestenbaum concluded, “Sadly, the far left wing tide of antisemitism is rising. But tonight we fight back...<ref>[https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/393270 Jewish Harvard graduate speaks at 2024 Republican National Convention] ''INN'', Jul 18, 2024</ref>}}
