In the wake of Hamas’ brutal surprise attack against Israel, 34 Harvard student organizations recently signed a joint statement blaming Israel for the attack and expressing support for Palestine.
“We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” the letter read.
“The apartheid regime is the only one to blame. Israeli violence has structured every aspect of Palestinian existence for 75 years.”
To date, the Hamas invasion has killed over 900 Israeli citizens, and at least 11 American citizens. Reports of Hamas raping Israeli women, and videos of militants holding Israeli children in cages, have flooded social media. In one violent spectacle, Hamas militants paraded the naked, dead body of a German woman through the streets of Gaza in the back of a vehicle.
In some cases, Hamas terrorists even uploaded images or videos of their victims on the victims’ own social media accounts.
Despite such horrific brutality, the Harvard student groups offered Hamas their public support and blamed Israel for the murder and rape of its own citizens.
Townhall has identified the student leaders of several of those groups. Their names are listed below.
Graduate Student Leaders Whose Groups Support the Hamas Invasion

Waheedi currently teaches a course on “Law, Human Rights, and Social Justice in Israel-Palestine.”

Affirmative action acceptance into college showing its fruit.
Precisely why the Left should be shunned, ignored, and have the backs of decent people turned on them.
Harvard has long abandoned academic standards for “diversity”. I worked with a man who went to Harvard and came out just as stupid as when he went in. But he filled an admission slot. The Asian students are 100% correct. Basing admissions on non-academic standards discriminates against them. We need the finest students being taught to the best standards, not something that pleases big-mouthed, no brain politicians.
Not surprising Soror’s name pops up among them.
Supporters of fanatic murderous barbarians. Would they like to live next door to Hamas? Would they like a homicidal neighbor who hates them? What if the person in the next dorm room announces every day that he or she wanted to murder them. Would they be expected to “live peacefully” with that. The position of these pro-Palestinian juveniles is truly nauseating.

Yup. And the New York Times and Alvin Bragg.
Not at all, I'm happy they exposed who they are for all to see. Now they can suffer the consequences.
they need to go join Hamas and fight against the Joooooos.
.....I worked with a man who went to Harvard and came out just as stupid as when he went in.....
Even in today’s Harvard College, one has the opportunity to take challenging courses and to enroll in challenging programs. One might even have the opportunity to engage in great extracurricular activities, but unfortunately there is stiff competition for such activities.
There is no excuse for coming out stupid after 4 years at Harvard College.
Then there are Harvard’s graduate schools. One might do a good PhD in science. But there there are the “ethnic studies” programs. Yikes!
It’s too late for that. They control every institution in the country.
They have the power to sanction and harass anyone who defies them.
Don’t believe me ? Look at what is happening to Donald Trump. He is a billionaire and the most popular Repub politician in the country.
And they are able to go after him as if he was a fringe figure like Alex Jones because they control every institution. There is no-one to stop them.
Our nation’s colleges are bringing in the enemy combatants, providing them an education, jobs, and contacts with other combatants already established in prestigious positions. And our tax-dollars support many (most...or all?) of the programs under which they come into our nation.

How very thoughtful of the over-educated and terminally stupid to self-identify so that potential employers can avoid them like the plague.
So, in other words, insider trading not fair commerce.
Essentially, but still technically legal.
Give me the man who can succeed in fair competition vs the leech who cheats (even “legally”) to win.
Merit is deceased in the US.
Many companies are openly engaging in race based hiring and promotions.
America will become North Brazil.
Just another brown shithole.
