(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Leftist students from both Harvard University and Columbia University released their statements, in which they blamed Israel for the violence and atrocities committed by the deadly terrorist group Hamas in its attack against the Jewish state.
“We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence. Today’s events did not occur in a vacuum… The apartheid regime is the only one to blame,” the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups on the Situation in Palestine wrote.
As soon as the statement was discovered and published all over Twitter, people responded with outrage.
“Hamas acted with a savagery that can only be described as evil. But these students are so steeped in hate for Israel, they they are cheering on terrorists and denouncing the victims,” one Twitter user wrote.
A group of @Harvard students released a statement that begins, "We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence."
The statement continues, but that’s all you need to know.

Yael Bar tur, an Israeli woman who currently lives in the United States, also responded to the students’ statement.
“This is the final crack in my broken heart – a joint statement from @Harvard students. I could be sitting in class with these students, watching children brutally murdered, raped, kidnapped and their mutated bodies torn apart by a jeering crowd – and hear why it’s justified,” she wrote.

Princeton University professor Robert George also criticized the horrific response to the recent tragedy.
“31–yes 31–Harvard organizations have declared that the murders, rapes, kidnappings and other atrocities committed by Hamas against innocent people are in no way the fault of Hamas, but are rather entirely the fault of… Israel. Something is deeply, deeply wrong in academia,” he wrote.

Guy Benson of Fox News said that the students are “degenerates.”
“Deeply sick. Look at the groups listed. Contemptible degenerates proudly flaunting their bigotry & siding with terrorists over innocent victims,” he wrote.

Journalist Erielle Davidson called Harvard an “embarrassment.”
“Imagine being a Jewish student and sitting next to someone who describes the rape of your people and the kidnapping of your children as justified ‘resistance.’ @Harvard, you are an embarrassment,” she wrote.

After receiving a furious response from people and witnessing conservative media constantly highlighting once again that Harvard is a Marxist indoctrination center that trains its students to be the supporters of terrorists, the university released a watered-down statement to save its reputation without angering the activist students, for which they were only mocked by the people online.
Aside from the Harvard students, young activists at Columbia also released a similar statement, in which they blamed the victims.
“Students at @Columbia have signed a statement somehow even worse than the @Harvard one,” the Twitter user who posted the screenshots of the statement said.
