I've obtained an email from concerned Jewish alumni at @NorthwesternU, as well as a reply from the school's new president. "Northwestern does not intend to make an institutional statement" about the largest single-day slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.
The Daily Caller "Universities across the country that were quick to take stances on events like the death of George Floyd or the January 6 Capitol riot are either refusing to take an institutional stance on the terrorist attacks in Israel or correcting prior statements to explicitly condemn Hamas after facing backlash.
"Northwestern University and Williams College have opted not to take a position on the attacks whereas Harvard, Cornell, Ohio State and Stanford University amended their statements after receiving criticism for not condemning Hamas, a U.S.-designated terror organization. However, these institutions released statements condemning events including Supreme Court decisions, the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 2021 and/or the killing of George Floyd.
"Harvard initially released a statement failing to condemn the terrorists that attacked Israel, according to the Harvard Crimson. The university’s president released an updated response three days after the attacks that did condemn Hamas following community backlash.
"However, Harvard did not hesitate to condemn the Capitol rioters, or Russia for invading Ukraine, issuing statements the day both events occurred.
"Cornell acknowledged that many felt it did not adequately condemn Hamas in its initial Oct. 10 statement on the conflict and put out an updated statement."
Distorted thinking leads to repulsive conclusions in all things, from Antifa to Hamas. TD
