Nobel laureate accused of employing antisemitic trope in Harvard commencement speech

 

Because I accepted your invitation to be here today, I was attacked online and called antisemitic by money and power because they want money and power,” said Ressa, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2021 for her investigative reporting on former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte.

 

“[T]he other side,” Ressa added, “was already attacking me because I had shared a stage with Hillary Clinton,” the former US Secretary of State who has expressed support for Israel.

 

Harvard Chabad Rabbi Hirschy Zarchi later approached Ressa to request she clarify her “money and power” comment, which, he later told campus newspaper The Harvard Crimson, he had found to be antisemitic.
