"So the answer is yes."

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"It's a context dependent decision. That's your testimony today, calling for the genocide of Jews is depending upon the context, that is not bullying or harassment. This is the easiest question to answer. Yes, Ms. Magill. So is your testimony that you will not answer yes? Yes or no?"

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"Conduct meaning committing the act of genocide. The speech is not harassment. This is unacceptable. Ms. Magill, I'm gonna give you one more opportunity for the world to see your answer. Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Penn's Code of Conduct when it comes to bullying and harassment? Yes or no?"

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"What's the context?"

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"It's targeted at Jewish students, Jewish individuals. Do you understand your testimony is dehumanizing them? Do you understand that dehumanization is part of antisemitism? I will ask you one more time. Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment? Yes or no?"

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"So the answer is yes. That calling for the genocide of Jews violates Harvard Code of Conduct. Correct?"

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"It does not depend on the context the answer is yes, and this is why you should resign. These are unacceptable answers across the board."
