Controversy Erupts At Harvard As "Leading Antisemites" Exposed In Campus Truck Campaign

Written by Published

In a recent report by the New York Post, a truck bearing the names and images of Harvard students, who purportedly endorsed a letter attributing Israel for a violent Hamas terrorist assault, was seen circulating the university's campus on Wednesday.

The open letter, supported by several student groups on Sunday, held the "Israeli colonial occupation" responsible for the Hamas-initiated terrorist attacks on Saturday, which resulted in over 1,200 fatalities. The truck, part of a multi-day campaign involving other strategies, was driven by Accuracy in Media (AIM), a nonprofit watchdog, and displayed the names and images of the students, as reported by the Post.

Adam Guillette, AIM President, emphasized to the Post the significance of identifying those he termed as "hateful antisemites" in society. He further stressed that people should be aware that their actions bear consequences.

The truck was equipped with video screens on its sides, displaying the message "Harvard's Leading Antisemites," as seen in images on X, previously known as Twitter.

In the wake of the terrorist attack on Israel, student groups from other prestigious universities, including Columbia University, Yale University, and George Washington University, issued statements in support of Palestine.

Bill Ackman, a billionaire hedge fund manager, expressed on X on Tuesday that the identities of the students who signed the Harvard letter should be disclosed to prevent companies from hiring them.

The Harvard Crimson reported that at least four websites published the personal details of students associated with the organizations. Subsequently, a minimum of eight student groups have withdrawn their signatures.

In response to the letter, Harvard President Claudine Gay clarified on Tuesday that "no student group" represents the university.
