Calls for Resignation of College President Over Controversial Hamas Statement

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman is demanding the resignation of Hofstra University President Dr. Susan Poser after she made a statement that he claims finds "moral equivalence" between Hamas' terrorist attack and the political agenda of the Palestinian people. Blakeman criticized Poser's remarks as "misguided and antithetical to good moral values and judgment," and called into question her ability to lead the university. He urged the Hofstra University Board of Trustees to part ways with Poser, stating that her statement is out of step with the majority of Nassau County residents.
