Prominent Harvard alumni have criticized a pro-Palestinian statement from students at the university, calling for action against those who signed it. The statement blames Israel for the recent violence in the region and accuses it of being an apartheid regime. Various organizations, including Muslim and Palestinian support groups, as well as Harvard Jews for Liberation and the African American Resistance Organization, signed a letter regarding the conflict. Harvard's President and senior leadership expressed sadness about the Hamas attack but did not directly address the student letter. Harvard alumni criticized the university's leadership for not responding to acts of terror against Israel.
