Thirty-one Harvard University student organizations signed a statement blaming Israel for the recent violence and atrocities following the Hamas attack.
The statement accuses Israel of being solely responsible for the violence and suffering, without addressing the actions of Hamas.
Commentators and public officials, including Ian Bremmer and Representative Ritchie Torres, have criticized the organizations’ stance, with some calling for the university to condemn their sentiments.
