The former CEO of Tinder canceled a speech at the University of Pennsylvania and labeled the school an ‘anti-Semitic cesspool’ in a scathing message that was posted on X.
I was supposed to speak at Penn in late November. I’m cancelling,’ Ellie Seidman said. ‘Penn needs to insure that it is a safe and hospitable place for Jewish students, not an antisemitic cesspool. A change in leadership is necessary at this point,’ he added.
His message comes as UPenn officials failed to clamp down on a series of pro-Palestinian protests that took place at the school in the wake of Hamas’ brutal assault on Israel that claimed the lives of at least 1,300 people and saw nearly 200 people taken hostage.
