Harvard alum who filed antisemitism suit against university enthusiastically cheered at RNC

MILWAUKEE — Republican National Convention attendees enthusiastically cheer Shabbos Kestenbaum, a Harvard University graduate suing the school for allegedly failing to protect Jewish students from discrimination over the past school year.

“After October 7, the world finally saw what I and so many Jewish students across this country experienced almost every day,” he says.

“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,” Kestenbaum claims.

“Let’s elect a president who recognizes that although Harvard and the Ivy League have long abandoned the United States of America, the Jewish people never will. Because Jewish values are American values, and American values are Jewish values.”

Prior to Kestenbaum’s speech, the convention honored a group of fraternity brothers from the University of North Carolina who went viral for guarding an American flag during a hostile pro-Palestinian protest in April.
