Harvard student groups condemn Israel, clashes erupt in Times Square, and Jewish community reacts to attacks

31 Harvard student organizations have issued a joint statement blaming Israel for the recent Hamas terror attack that killed at least 700 Israelis. The statement accuses the Israeli government of forcing Palestinians to live in an "open-air prison" and holds them entirely responsible for the ongoing violence. The student groups ignore the atrocities committed against innocent Israelis and call for an end to the brutalization of Palestinians. The statement has faced backlash online, with critics condemning the support for Hamas and the disregard for the victims of the attack.
