This year’s Harvard commencement speaker compared Israel to Nazi Germany

This year’s commencement speaker at Harvard University, Maria Ressa, compared Israel to Nazi Germany and accused the Jewish state of committing genocide against the Palestinians.

Ressa made her comments a month after Hamas’ assault against Israel in an editorial on her Philippines-based news site Rappler (which, allegedly, “fights for facts” ).

According to The Washington Free Beacon, Ressa (pictured) wrote that Israel’s counter-attack to Hamas’ October 7 assault which killed over 1,000 Israelis was (is) “disproportionate” and not merely retaliation but “all-out war.”

An English translation of the editorial reads in part “It is a great irony that the [Jewish] race that suffered centuries of oppression, even genocide at the hands of Adolf Hitler, is now [denying] the same aspirations [for] the Palestinians. We like to think that our world is more modern, more aware, and more compassionate, compared for example to the time of Adolf Hitler, or the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.”
