Bill Ackman compares Yale to Hamas and calls Ivy League ‘potentially even more dangerous’

Bill Ackman declared that Yale University is “no different than Hamas” and that the Ivy League school is “potentially even more dangerous” than the Palestinian terrorist group.

The billionaire hedge fund manager published a post that went viral on his X account. It quotes “a friend” who “was asked to write a recommendation for his daughter applying to Yale.”

The unnamed “friend” wrote that they could not write the letter because they are “no longer” willing to engage Yale.

“You wouldn’t ask me to write a letter of recommendation for her admission to Hamas,” Ackman wrote, adding that the university was “no different from Hamas” because it is a “sect that does not tolerate disagreement, and a sect that is certain of its purpose and mission go beyond reflection.”

The post further claims that Yale is “potentially even more dangerous” because while the Palestinian group that carried out the October 7, 2023 massacre of Israelis “will soon be defeated,” Yale “will continue to send its graduates to positions of top officials. power for years.”

The “friend” cited by Ackman wrote that the prospective student will not “learn” the “essential life skill” of the “ability to change your mind” at Yale or “any Ivy League school.”

“Their reputation remains so strong that their faculty, staff and graduates all possess the arrogant certainty of religious fanatics,” Ackman wrote.

The Post has reached out to Yale for comment.

Yale is one of dozens of college campuses roiled by protests and demonstrations by students denouncing Israeli military attacks in Gaza following the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre by Hamas terrorists.

The subsequent Israeli retaliation, which is estimated to have killed tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, led to calls from students at Yale and other colleges to divest from companies doing business with Israel.

In April, Yale students set up a “Liberation Zone” encampment on campus — similar to the tent protests at Columbia University, whose administration asked the NYPD to arrest students participating in demonstrations.

Police were called to the Yale campus, where they arrested more than 50 people, including 46 students.

Yale Corporation, which manages the school’s $40 billion endowment, has rejected student calls to divest from companies that do business with Israel.

Ackman, a Harvard alumnus, publicly pushed for his alma mater to fire its president, Claudine Gay, after accusing her of failing to crack down on alleged anti-Semitic attacks on Jewish students on the Cambridge, Massachusetts, campus .

Gay ultimately resigned in January after it was revealed she had plagiarized her academic work.

Ackman criticized Gay for plagiarism and then threatened to sue Business Insider after it emerged that his wife, Neri Oxman, had plagiarized several paragraphs in her 2010 MIT dissertation.
