Political Backlash Erupts as Harvard Students Blame Israel for Hamas Attacks

Lawrence Summers, former Harvard president, and Senator Ted Cruz are among the prominent figures criticizing Harvard University for not condemning a student-led statement that blamed Israel for the recent Hamas attack. The statement, signed by 35 student organizations, accused Israel of being "entirely responsible for all unfolding violence." Many of the signatories are identity-based groups or caucuses that support the rights of Palestinians. Harvard's administration has yet to respond to the criticism, raising questions about its stance on the issue.
