Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has joined the growing chorus of wealthy and prominent people who are condemning some of America’s top universities such as Harvard for failing to take action against students at their schools who have been publicly declaring support for the terrorist group Hamas since its barbaric massacre of more than 1,200 innocent people in Israel on October 7.

Dave Portnoy said that he would not hire any graduates of Harvard, MIT or the University of Pennsylvania until their current presidents are removed.

This declaration came after Claudine Gay, the president of Harvard University, refused to just come out and say earlier this week when testifying before the US Congress that calling for the genocide of thee Jews and the destruction of the State of Israel should not be included in the school’s code of conduct as outside the bounds and not protected free speech.

In an Instagram post, Dave Portnoy said, “Not that this will make a huge difference but moving forward I will not hire any student who graduates from any of these schools until these Deans step down.”

“More businesses should follow this lead,” he added. “This is unacceptable on every single level. I don’t care if you’re Jewish or not either. If you know a Jew or just have a degree of basic human decency calling for the murder of an entire group of people should outrage you.”

Gay’s defenders point out that she was just saying what the lawyers told her to say out of fear the school could be sued. Also, he remarks were made as to what the school’s code of conduct actually says about the matter as it is currently written, not whether or not it should be changed.

Dave Portnoy said that the video of Gay and the heads of other universities testifying before the Congress made him so, “irate I need to make sure as many people see it as possible.”

“The Deans of 3 supposedly prestigious Universities in the United States,” he added in his Instagram post, “somehow refusing to condemn students calling for the Genocide of Jews on campus. AKA – the murder of all Jews. Newsflash that is calling for the murder of myself, my parents and my entire family. And these ‘leaders’ refuse to condemn this as hate speech on their campuses?”

“This isn’t debating whether there should be a cease fire or discussing the future of Israel and Palestine in the Middle East,” he added. “This is calling for the MURDER OF ALL JEWS everywhere and these absolute coward school administrators refuse to condemn it.”

Dave Portnoy also slammed the three for saying that such speech only violates their respective schools’ policies on the matter if the students in question switch to “actually trying to murder all the Jews on campus.”

“Well good to know that actual murder is still against the school handbook at the Ivy Leagues.”

Portnoy went on to say that, for him, the bottom line here is that there is “literally no other minority, religious group or ethnic group where students could openly intimidate and chant that they want to murder an entire group of people and not get kicked out immediately or better yet thrown in jail.”

He also spoke of how if such things could not be said about other ethnic groups without it “becoming an international incident but with Jews apparently saying you want to kill them all is fair game.”
