Irsael terror attacks: how major US colleges have reacted

College campuses across the US have become flashpoints as groups protest and clash over the reaction to Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel.

Although some faculties and professors stood in solidarity with the Jewish people, others have resorted to antisemitism under the guise of solidarity with the Palestinian people.   

Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts:
A day after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, a coalition of 34 student groups including the campus Amnesty International chapter signed a letter claiming Israel was “entirely responsible” for the terrorism which left over 1,400 dead, including babies, children and the old and defenseless.

Columbia University, New York City:
University president Minouche Shafik said she was “devastated by the horrific attack on Israel this weekend,” on October 9, but did not mention Hamas or terrorism.

Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut:
After professor of American and religious studies Zareena Grewal — who calls herself a “radical Muslim” on X — labeled Israel a “murderous, genocidal settler state” on the platform as news of Hamas’ attack began rolling in, Yale student Netanel Crispe started a petition calling for her firing from the Ivy League university.
