THIRTY-ONE Harvard organizations including college's Amnesty International affiliate blame Israel for Hamas' brutal terror attack which has killed more than 700 people: 'Something is deeply, deeply wrong in academia'
2023-10-09
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The Harvard groups have placed the blame on Israel for Hamas' brutal, surprise attack that has killed at least 700 Israelis

  • They claim that Saturday's events 'did not happen in a vacuum' and claimed that the Israeli government has forced Palestinians to live in 'an open-air prison'

  • It comes just a day after a professor was forced to apologize for implying the Hamas attack on Israel was an attempt to distract from 'Netanyahu's corruption'

The Palestine Solidarity Committee has held inflammatory events in relation to the conflict, including protests, an 'Apartheid Week' and a 'Boycott Israel Trek.'

The group has also taken credit for getting the Harvard Crimson - the school's long-running student newspaper - to support BDS, or Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions of Israel.

The groups include the school's African American Resistance Organization, Amnesty International, 'Harvard Act on a Dream,' groups of Muslim and South Asian students from the Kennedy and Chan schools, the Harvard Islamic Society and Harvard Jews for Liberation.

Several Israeli news outlets, citing rescue service officials, said at least 700 people have been killed in Israel, including 44 soldiers. Attacks continued into Sunday and Monday, with the nation's Iron Dome intercepting continuous waves of rockets.

A thousand Hamas militants took part in the initial, unprecedented attack on Israel on Saturday, Conricus said.

The Gaza Health Ministry said 413 people, including 78 children and 41 women, were killed in the territory.

About 2,000 people have been wounded on each side. An Israeli official said security forces have killed 400 militants and captured dozens more.

Conricus also confirmed that Americans, British and French people were involved in the carnage.

He said that children, babies, elderly people and disabled people were among those kidnapped.

#13  #11 ruprecht, it will probably increase alumni donations. Most Harvard alumni are just as wacko a the undergraduates. As someone else has said, Harvard has long since alienated both of its conservative alumni.

#10  It would be nice if there was a way to imprint this sort of thing on their resumes so that firms know what they are getting and can be held responsible for hiring easily manipulated or outright stupid fools.

#8  The very next headline should read, "Thirty one Harvard organization lose their USG funding and are labeled terrorist supporting organizations."

#7  Well, they blame black criminality on racism*.

*They're right too. It's the racism of threating blacks like children.
They are right too about Israel's ultimate responsibility - if only we treated "Palestinians" as the vermin they are.

#6  Given even US higher centers of learning are preaching and indoctrinating future leaders in Antisemitism, National Socialism and the practice that abnormal social behavior is acceptable.

How long before the LSD's elect a David Dukes type as President/Führer
