Harvard president Claudine Gay issued a more forceful message Thursday evening as the university faces backlash following student groups' statement blaming Israel for Hamas' attacks.
Harvard president Claudine Gay released a video Thursday evening as the university reels from backlash following a pro-Palestinian statement signed by dozens of student groups holding Israel 'entirely responsible' for Hamas' terrorist attacks on the country and the subsequent violence unfolding in the region.
On Saturday, not long after Hamas launched its unprecedented terrorist attacks on Israel, 34 student organizations signed a statement issued by the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups that began by blaming the 'Israeli regime' for 'all unfolding violence.' It continued, 'Today’s events did not occur in a vacuum. For the last two decades, millions of Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to live in an open-air prison.
After days of silence and nationwide backlash toward the university for not addressing the statement, Gay released a five-sentence message on Tuesday stating that she does condemn Hamas' attacks, but she did not explicitly denounce the student groups' controversial opinion.
