As hundreds of Israelis and others, including several Americans, remain kidnapped, injured, or dead, the 31 Harvard organizations that signed a letter holding Israel ‘entirely responsible’ for Hamas’ barbarous terrorism should be condemned, as should Harvard leadership for whom silence is complicity. I cannot recall a moment when I’ve been more embarrassed by my alma mater. You can stand up for Palestinian rights while condemning Hamas terrorists, just as you can fiercely criticize the extremist, anti-democratic actions of the Netanyahu government while supporting the nation of Israel’s right to defend itself from people, terrorist groups and states that want it wiped out of existence. In fact, engaging in this intellectually and morally honest debate is the best way to honor the millions of peace-loving Israelis and Palestinians who want a bright and prosperous future for their families, and who have regularly stood up to the extremists in their midst. In contrast, what’s happening at Harvard right now is intellectually weak and morally repugnant.” "Moral leadership rarely comes in the form of defensive explanations. People are “confused” because you refused to unequivocally state that advocating genocide has no place in the Harvard community. It’s for situations like this that a code of conduct should exist. Wouldn’t it have been powerful to see university leaders join together in committing to combat the shocking rise of antisemitism in America, rather than uniting to avoid answering a simple question." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |
