Redo: Harvard President Condemns Hamas Terrorist Attacks After Alum Blowback for Tepid Response

Harvard University president Claudine Gay on Monday issued a belated statement condemning Hamas's mass terrorist attacks, after facing days of blowback from alumni for staying silent on the atrocities as student groups blamed Israel for the war.

Gay said she "condemn[s] the terrorist atrocities perpetrated by Hamas," calling the actions "abhorrent, whatever one's individual views of the origins of longstanding conflicts in the region."

The university president added that "no student group—not even 30 student groups—speaks for Harvard University or its leadership." She was referring to a coalition of Harvard students that claimed on Saturday that Israel was "entirely responsible for all unfolding violence."

Gay's latest comments come after she issued a tepid and widely criticized response late Monday to the attacks, following days of silence, saying that the university was "heartbroken by the death and destruction unleashed by the attack by Hamas" but declining to directly condemn the terrorist group or its supporters on campus.

The six-paragraph statement had only one line addressing Hamas's attacks, in which hundreds of Israeli civilians were killed and taken hostage. The response drew criticism from prominent alumni, including former Harvard president Larry Summers and Massachusetts Democratic congressman Jake Auchincloss.

"Harvard's leadership has failed. The president and deans refuse to denounce the antisemitism of Harvard student groups," wrote Auchincloss on Twitter. "Instead of moral clarity and courage, they offer word salad approved by committee. I am ashamed of my alma mater."

Harv-tards ain’t easy to love
And they’re harder to hold
They’d rather string you along
Bluff you ‘til you fold
Frat rings and bull-sh!t and sheepskin diplomas
And besides he’s gay
If you don’t understand him, he doesn’t make sense
Even Republican, he’ll back Mike Pence

Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be Harv-tards
Don’t let ‘em drink lattes they bought at Starbucks
Let ‘em drive tractors and eighteen-wheel trucks
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be Harv-tards
Their heads are so far up their a@@es
That they think it’s fresh air
When they pass gasses that muss up their hair
They’l swim up stream to savor the smell.

Harv-tards like nasty bland soy sh!t
And breathing through masks
Illegal aliens, and children
made slaves to their lust
Them that don’t know him
Won’t like him and them that do
Sometimes won’t know how to take him
Always wrong, sometimes evil
But his pride won’t let him
See things to make him see the light

Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be Harv-tards
Don’t let ‘em drink lattes they bought at Starbucks
Let ‘em drive tractors and eighteen-wheel trucks
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be Harv-tards
Their heads are so far up their a@@es
That they think it’s fresh air
When they pass gasses that muss up their hair
They’l swim up stream to savor the smell.

Sorry President Gay the 30 student groups speak for Harvard when you condone their existence. Unless you remove those 30 groups from Harvard, they have spoken for Harvard and will continue to speak for Harvard.

It is ironic that a university founded to produce more Christian pastors is now home to scores of Muslims who hate Christians and Jews — and America.

No, it wasn’t Aluminum Blowback for Tepid Response, sorry, it was: “Rate of Aluminum donations crater” that got their attention.

Claudine Gay. The best man for the job

Harvard Students Doxxed, Groups Withdraw Signatures Amid Continued Backlash to Israel Statement

“I have been asked by a number of CEOs if @harvard would release a list of the members of each of the Harvard organizations that have issued the letter assigning sole responsibility for Hamas’ heinous acts to Israel, so as to insure that none of us inadvertently hire any of their members,” billionaire hedge fund manager Bill A. Ackman ’88 wrote in a Tuesday post on X that has since garnered more than 11,000 reposts.

Another double talking weasel.

Here’s what the students have to say.

...Danielle Mikaelian tweeted Monday. “I am sorry for the pain this caused,” the law student continued. “My organization did not have a formal process, and I didn’t even see the statement until we had signed on.”

Yeah, right, OK. Signed on without reading first. Just going from bad to worse... Who wouldn't hire that gem?!

[Moltke]

They fired Larry Summers for speaking truth and got...that? Idiots.

LOL. I blame TV. What was the last time anyone saw a TV lawyer actually read a document? 😀

Luckily her prospects of getting hired by any reputable firm just went to "0".
