Harvard’s Leading Antisemite

RABEA EGHBARIAH

Rabea Eghbariah penned an article for the Columbia Law Review claiming that Jews “capitalized on the Holocaust to create a powerful narrative that monopolizes victimhood.”

Eghbariah also wrote that the Holocaust resulted in a “ethnonationalist Jewish identity” that turned a “victimized group” into “victimizers.”

“The rise of Nazism to power and its culmination in the Holocaust contributed to the creation of an exclusivist and ethnonationalist Jewish identity among European Jewry, ultimately popularizing the political project of Zionism,” Eghbariah wrote.

The Review published the article despite “a large number of Jewish students” who would have been part of the typical editing process were excluded, according to the Washington Free Beacon. The Review’s board of directors requested to delay its publication but it was pushed through anyway. The board suspended the website as a result.

The article was later reinstated. This comes after the Harvard Law Review voted not to publish an earlier version of the article, which was published by The Nation.

Sixty-three percent of the Harvard Law Review’s editorial body voted against publication, so Eghbariah took his work to The Nation. When he continued his work, he took it to the Columbia Law Review, whose staff was apparently fine with excluding Jews from the editing process in order to push it through, and had enough of a majority to bully the board into publishing it anyway.
