Davis Polk & Wardwell alerted staffers on Tuesday that it had rescinded the offers because the prospective employees held leadership positions within the student organizations that issued last week’s statements blaming Israel for the attacks.
"These statements are simply contrary to our firm’s values and we thus concluded that rescinding these offers was appropriate in upholding our responsibility to provide a safe and inclusive work environment for all Davis Polk employees," Davis Polk managing partner Neil Barr said in the email.
A spokesperson for the firm declined to identify the students.

Black clergy urge Queens pol to quit Socialist group after sick pro-Hamas protest.
[NYPost] A group representing New York’s black clergy is rallying around Israel and demanding a Queens pol disavow the Democratic Socialists of America for its support of Hamas.
Rev. Johnnie Green, president of Mobilizing Preachers and Communities, representing 300 houses of worship in the region, sent a letter urging Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani to sever ties with the DSA for organizing rallies where protesters cheered Hamas’ slaughter of Jews.
Mamdani, who represents Astoria and western Queens, has also participated in pro-Palestinian rallies following Hamas’ sneak attack on Israel, killing more than 1,400 Israelis and taking nearly 200 others as hostages.
“This is a moment to consider what is right — when being an elected official requires courage — that we hope you will leave the DSA. Like you, the DSA stood by while its membership made incendiary and hateful remarks. The day after a terror attack, the DSA promoted a hate-filled rally, where people were photographed displaying swastikas,” Green said in a letter to the lawmaker.
Green noted that other progressive politicians, such as city Comptroller Brad Lander, condemned Hamas’ murder and kidnapping of Israelis as “abominable” and said there was “no place for glorifying terror.”
The preacher said DSA only issued a “tepid apology” following national outrage about the hate-spewing rallies. The left-wing group did not condemn Hamas.
