Larry Summers Rips Harvard as Student Groups Blame Israel for Hamas Attacks: ‘Sickened’
New York Post ^ | Oct. 9, 2023 | Ariel Zilber

Larry Summers, the former Treasury Secretary and Harvard University president, blasted the Ivy League school’s administration over its lack of response to dozens of student groups who blamed Israel for Hamas’ surprise attack this weekend.

“In nearly 50 years of @Harvard affiliation, I have never been as disillusioned and alienated as I am today,” Summers, the former Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton who later went on to advise Barack Obama in the White House, wrote on his X social media account.

“The silence from Harvard’s leadership, so far, coupled with a vocal and widely reported student groups’ statement blaming Israel solely, has allowed Harvard to appear at best neutral towards acts of terror against the Jewish state of Israel.” “Instead, Harvard is being defined by the morally unconscionable statement apparently coming from two dozen student groups blaming all the violence on Israel,” he wrote, adding: “I am sickened.”

Larry Summers should NEVER have been made to resign the presidency of Harvard, when he was under feminazi attack!!

As a result of that resignation, the Harvard presidency went into a precipitous slide, which ultimately led to the incompetent Claudine Gay administration.

Now we have a bunch of feckless leftists students who in no way belong at Harvard. This under-qualified leftist claque blames Israel for the current violence, which is really the fault of Nazi muslims from Gaza and their Iranian sponsors. Phooey!!!

“In nearly 50 years of @Harvard affiliation, I have never been as disillusioned and alienated as I am today,” Summers [said].

Gee, Larry, now you know how all the U of Penn grads feel, after Biden has got through trashing Ben Franklin's university.
