Harvard Under Hamas: The Shocking Truth Revealed

On October 7, 2023, Hamas extremists carried out an unimaginably horrific attack on Jewish people residing in Israel. Just hours after this act reminiscent of a Nazi-style massacre, close to thirty different clusters of Harvard University students pointed fingers at the Jewish community as responsible for the incident.

Was the Harvard "Students for Justice in Palestine" (SJP) chapter aware beforehand about the massacre, similar to what a recent lawsuit claims regarding the Columbia SJP chapter? (The Columbia SJP has refuted these accusations.) Curious individuals surely want to find out.

However, nowadays, Harvard isn’t welcoming towards unrestricted exploration.

I want to make something clear: Harvard sees itself as a stronghold of open investigation. This was the ethical stance Harvard tried to assert during its recent criticism of the Trump administration’s efforts to implement civil rights policies on college campuses. Similarly, this week, Harvard sought to maintain this ethical position with the release of its highly anticipated study on campus anti-Semitism and pro-Palestinian sentiment. The report claims to express concern over the increase in post-October 7 hatred toward Jews on campus; however, it merely suggests weak and largely ceremonial actions regarding how to address these issues effectively.

Harvard cannot assert that it cares about the well-being of Jewish individuals on its premises. while simultaneously suing For its "right" to defraud the American taxpayer while seemingly challenging the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It truly is that straightforward. Some issues simply cannot be reconciled.

The truth is that the former image of Harvard cherished by many decent and intelligent Americans has faded away. There was a period when Harvard stood as an esteemed symbol in the hearts and minds of these individuals—a beacon of intellect akin to a radiant city atop a hill. However, over recent years, it appears this institution has undergone transformation—initially through ideological shifts and subsequently becoming subject to physical changes—as it came under the influence of an unlikely coalition comprising radical Islamists and extreme Left-wing Marxists. This shift seemingly received tacit support from some liberal factions known for their anti-Semitic leanings or blind allegiance to opposing views regarding figures like Donald Trump.

It can be challenging to understand the suspicious, easily angered reactive behaviors that masquerade as progressive political ideas nowadays.

However, something that isn’t difficult to discern is the truth. The Harvard Kennedy School reportedly included a financier of Hamas—an individual accused of aiding funding for the tunnels utilized in the October 7 attacks—on its Dean’s Council (the person denies these claims). During discussions with the Trump administration, Harvard even went so far as to threaten to euthanize laboratory animals.

We must inquire: If something behaves like a Hamas-controlled area and acts like a Hamas-controlled area, what can it be considered?

That’s something the Trump administration wants to clarify. Pam Bondi, who serves as the U.S. attorney general, along with Linda McMahon, the head of the Department of Education, aim simply to uncover the truth and uphold legal standards. However, Harvard seems to act under the assumption that it operates beyond the reach of the law.

It isn’t the first instance either. Harvard battled all the way to the United States Supreme Court to assert its "right" to contravene the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and engage in racial discrimination. Interestingly, one of its alumni, Chief Justice John Roberts—a staunch defender of institutions—made a bold choice to prioritize the Constitution’s colorblind principles over the local interests of his former university.

Perhaps other judges will adhere to Chief Justice Roberts's example and permit the law to be implemented. Numerous other jurists undoubtedly prefer emphasizing the rights of killers, assailants, and extremists above their pledges to uphold the Constitution. However, such matters can require considerable time.

On the contrary, Harvard does not have additional time. With regard to Harvard, it's not about future events but rather past occurrences. Should Harvard be found guilty of breaking the law, Donald Trump as president would ensure that the laws are enforced. Recently, he informed the governor of Maine this stance prior to cutting federal funds for her state over allowing biological males to participate in women’s sporting events, stating emphatically, "We uphold the federal law."

The most ardent progressives might argue that, in defense of Harvard—perhaps somewhat mild—the present university president, Alan Garber, isn't Claudine Gay. They would highlight that his scholarly contributions are valid. He did not attain his role solely because of toxic diversity, equity, and inclusion ideologies. Additionally, they could mention that he has Jewish heritage.

It could be true that the liberals have it right. Perhaps Garber is indeed a decent individual genuinely striving to benefit his institution of higher learning. Nevertheless, this point is moot because Garber does not hold the real power here.

Harvard’s operations aren't solely managed by its president or the Harvard Corporation. Instead, it is overseen by numerous students and dedicated faculty members who strongly adhere to the ideologies they've embraced from their progressive educational background.

President Trump presents no real challenge to how Americans perceive Harvard. In fact, his aim is to revive this idealized, somewhat romantic image of Harvard. Examine the administration’s correspondence, which surprised Harvard by requesting straightforward actions like adhering to the 14th Amendment and U.S. civil rights legislation.

There is a historical example of how presidents handle situations where certain establishments inside the United States decline to recognize their governance under the US Constitution. Look at Abraham Lincoln or Ulysses S Grant for reference.

Should the Harvard Corporation have any vested interest in maintaining its ongoing operations, it ought to swiftly embrace an alternative strategy: total capitulation without conditions.

If Harvard possessed even a basic grasp of legality, morality, ethics, or history, it would contemplate Atlanta, Georgia around 1864.

Things did not work out well for Atlanta at that time. However, Emory University in Atlanta is indeed quite excellent. Top-tier American students have the opportunity to attend there regardless of Harvard’s existence.
