Boston-area students reacted to Harvard's letter blaming Israel for Hamas' acts of terrorism. Several students said they don't feel safe on campus.
Pro-Israel college students near Boston denounced a letter signed by more than two dozen Harvard University student organizations blaming the Middle East nation for Hamas' deadly surprise attack over the weekend. 'That letter was deeply disturbing,' Annie, a Harvard student, told Fox News Digital at a rally outside Cambridge City Hall on Monday. 'I’m appalled that so many student organizations have signed on to this.
Aton, who attends the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said the student letter was 'really despicable and evil.' 'It wasn’t too surprising to me, but I think it opened the eyes of a lot of people that these groups can go to this extent,' he said. 'They used apartheid and oppression as a guise but what they really believe in is the illegitimacy of Israel.
For the last two decades, millions of Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to live in an open-air prison,' the statement read. 'Israeli officials promise to ‘open the gates of hell,' and the massacres in Gaza have already commenced.' 'Palestinians in Gaza have no shelters for refuge and nowhere to escape,' the statement continued. 'In the coming days, Palestinians will be forced to bear the full brunt of Israel’s violence.
