Students strolling throughout Harvard University’s campus on Wednesday noticed the faces of Israeli hostages who have been kidnapped by Hamas following the terrorist group’s assault over the weekend.
The “KIDNAPPED” posters have been plastered throughout the Cambridge campus after dozens of Harvard scholar teams wrote a press release that blamed Israel for the Hamas assaults.
“If you are walking today through the hallways and peaceful paths of @Harvard, look for the faces of babies, elderly Holocaust survivors, teenagers, and men and women who were brutally taken hostage by the inhumane Hamas terrorists,” Israel in Boston, the Consulate General of Israel to New England, posted on Wednesday.
“Remember their names and speak up for them! #StandWithIsrael,” Israel in Boston added.
Pro-Israel college students at Harvard put up the posters within the wake of the anti-Israel assertion, which despatched shockwaves by way of the campus and across the area.
Ambassador Meron Reuben, the Consulate General of Israel to New England, informed the Herald that he has been “quite shocked” by these “happily supporting this kind of murder and butchery in the Middle East.”
“We hope the students see from the fliers that the story is more complicated than they actually think,” Reuben added. “It’s lots completely different from the best way they appear to have discovered concerning the battle.
“Hamas is a group of blood-thirsty terrorists, whose only interest is to kill as many Israelis and Jews as they can,” he added. “They’re not interested in peace and living side-by-side with us.”
Meanwhile, scholar teams that had signed on to the anti-Israel assertion are actually attempting to distance themselves from it. The Harvard Undergraduate Nepali Student Association, as an example, has retracted its signature from the assertion.
“We regret that our decision to co-sign the latest PSC statement to call attention to historical injustices against Palestinians, with an earnest desire for peace, has been interpreted as a tacit support for the recent violent attacks in Israel,” the group wrote. “We deplore the attacks that have taken the lives of hundreds of innocent civilians including 10 Nepali students in Israel. We are deeply saddened by this news and mourn the lives that we have lost in the Nepali community.”
Billionaire Bill Ackman, a Harvard alum, desires Harvard to call the scholars who signed on to the letter.
“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,” Ackman posted.
“If, in fact, their members support the letter they have released, the names of the signatories should be made public so their views are publicly known,” he added. “One should not be able to hide behind a corporate shield when issuing statements supporting the actions of terrorists, who, we now learn, have beheaded babies, among other inconceivably despicable acts.”
