Harvard Is Denounced as Student Groups Rally Against Israel and University President Is Silent
President Larry Summers of Harvard says, ‘I am sickened. I cannot fathom the [Harvard] Administration’s failure to disassociate the University and condemn this statement from student groups.’
“I have never been as disillusioned and alienated as I am today,” a former president of Harvard University, Larry Summers, says of the deafening silence on Hamas’s war at Gaza from the administration at America’s oldest university.
Yet many Harvard students have been anything but silent, and are coming out strongly against Israel. Thirty-one undergraduate Harvard student organizations “hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” according to a joint statement claiming that “in the coming days, Palestinians will be forced to bear the full brunt of Israel’s violence.” The student statement is being widely denounced and has drawn fear and outrage among Jewish students.
