Former Harvard president Lawrence Summers on the school’s silence on the Israel-Hamas war

The silence from Harvard’s leadership, so far, coupled with a vocal and widely reported student groups' statement blaming Israel solely, has allowed Harvard to appear at best neutral towards acts of terror against the Jewish state of Israel.

…or Dean Gay’s powerful statement on police violence, we have as yet – 48 hours later – no official Harvard statement at this time of moral testing. https://t.co/ePl9Z6cYcF

I very much hope appropriate statements from the University and College condemning those who launched terrorist attacks and standing in solidarity with its victims will soon be forthcoming.

A large number of Harvard Alumni feel the same way. @Harvard can’t ignore this.
