Several Harvard University students came out quickly after Saturday’s terrorist attacks in Israel to blame Israelis for the carnage and support Hamas.Campus Reform
Public scrutiny fell on these individuals and now many appear to regret their pro-Hamas position.
The Harvard Arab Alumni Association has reportedly put out a statement requesting aid for the students whose first reaction was to stand in solidarity with the terrorists who raped, killed, captured, and decapitated innocent civilians.

The Word That Undid Claudine Gay The fate of Harvard’s president is the latest evidence of a deep crisis in American academia.
The New York Times By A.O. Scott, Jan. 3, 2024
Updated 11:30 a.m. ET.
In retrospect, Claudine Gay’s fate was sealed by a single word. (She resigned the presidency of Harvard on Tuesday, just six months into her tenure.) It wasn’t “plagiarism” or “genocide” — the fearsome fighting words most publicly associated with her case — but rather a careful, neutral piece of language that struck some listeners as outrageous for precisely that reason: an attempt at anti-inflammatory rhetoric that had the opposite effect. The word was “context.”NYT
Testifying at a congressional hearing in early December with two other university presidents — only one of whom, Sally Kornbluth of M.I.T., still has her job — she was asked by Representative Elise Stefanik (Republican of New York; Harvard ’06) whether “calling for the genocide of Jews” violated “Harvard’s rules of bullying and harassment.” Dr. Gay replied that it might, “depending on the context,” a formulation she reiterated when Ms. Stefanik rephrased the question. Dr. Gay later apologized for those remarks, but they had already entered the media bloodstream, making her and her fellow witnesses an overnight meme representing the insensitivity and cluelessness of elite academic leadership.
Now that Dr. Gay is out (following M. Elizabeth Magill of the University of Pennsylvania, who resigned shortly after the hearing), there is more than enough context to go around. Her career, until last July a steady, brisk climb through faculty and administrative ranks to the pinnacle of American higher education, has become a punditic bonanza and a culture-war Rorschach test.

Citing ‘racial animus,’ Harvard president Claudine Gay resigns in wake of dual controversies.
She faced growing calls to vacate the position after her response to campus antisemitism and extensive charges that she plagiarized her scholarship.JNS
(January 2, 2024 / JNS)
Claudine Gay resigned as president of Harvard University on Tuesday “with a heavy heart but a deep love for Harvard.” After consulting with members of the President and Fellows of Harvard College—also called the Harvard Corporation—it became “clear that it is in the best interests of Harvard for me to resign so that our community can navigate this moment of extraordinary challenge with a focus on the institution rather than any individual,” she wrote.
Did Obama help her write her letter?
She should have been asked:
“Under what context WOULD anti-semitism be acceptable at Harvard University ?”
I wish someone would ask her to please describe the context in which racism and genocide are justified.
In retrospect it would have been a great question. I guess great-Republican Stefanick and all were just ao shocked at that ivy league moments in infamy ...
Exactly.
Baldy is a pathetic fraud
Palestinians are not a distinct race. Can’t all the idiots out there figure it out?
This is a religious war.
Moslems against non-Moslems.
Call it what it is.
Not some made up Democrat inspired Meme.
From the River to the Sea,
Let the world be Hamas-free.
Resignation depends on the context. Did she resign or was she asked to resign as in fired?
And the anti-Semitism of Claudine Gay, Harvard, and the rest of academia is how they are repaid.
Another good deed not going unpunished.
If the Leftist administrations at Harvard, MIT, and Penn will sit idly by while Jewish students are threatened with genocide, they will sit by while the rest of us are loaded onto boxcars with those same students and their families.
Fire up the ovens, boys, Claudine Gay and Harvard are pondering the context of mass murder.
Yep! You have to go to college and get a doctorate to be that stupid.
She should have been asked to provide a context in which it would not have violated “Harvard’s rules of bullying and harassment.”
Examples are noted to have happened beginning May 2020.
