A plane flew over Harvard University’s campus Thursday with a banner reading “Harvard Hates Jews,” according to multiple sources on social media.
Harvard University President Claudine Gay spoke at a hearing Tuesday and refused to say if students would be disciplined for genocidal speech and backtracked Wednesday from her statement following backlash from prominent figures and the White House. Following a rise in anti-Israel activities on campus, a truck drove around Harvard University a multitude of times that showed the faces of students who signed an anti-Israel letter.
The Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee called the plane “racist weaponization” and said the phrase “Harvard Hates Jews” is a “right wing slogan,” according to a tweet.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth and University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill also refused to answer if whether they would discipline students for chants calling for the elimination of the Jewish people.
Over 30 student organizations at Harvard signed a letter blaming Israel for the Hamas terrorist attacks on Oct. 7, causing nationwide backlash. Gay released a statement on Oct. 10 saying that the students did not speak for the university but had a “right to speak” and some of the organizations that signed the letter withdrew their signatures, according to The Harvard Crimson.
More than 100 Harvard faculty signed a letter defending the anti-Israel phrase “From the river to the sea,” calling it “complicated.” After the rise of anti-Israel sentiment on Harvard’s campus, several major donors including the Wexner Foundation, founded by billionaire Leslie Wexner, stopped donating.
The Harvard College Jewish Alumni Association also pledged to stop giving to the university, causing concern among Harvard gift officers who receive donations for the university.
Harvard did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Shortly after Hamas terrorists fired over 5,000 rockets from Gaza into Israel on Oct. 7 and then proceeded to attack the Jewish state by land, sea and air – torturing, burning, beheading and murdering well over a thousand people, including women, children and infants, and wounding and abducting hundreds more – world reaction was, in its own way, almost equally shocking.
For after the biggest one-day mass slaughter of Jews since the Nazi Holocaust, what followed was an outpouring of celebratory demonstrations, unbridled Jew-hatred, deliriously gleeful support for Hamas and bitter condemnation of the nation of Israel. Not just in the Arab-Muslim world, but throughout the Western world as well, including all across America.
Why? What is behind the explosion of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, pro-terror sentiment in the United States, where Israel has long been one of America’s closest friends and allies? Why are hordes of young “woke” LGBT demonstrators marching in support of Hamas – when Hamas wouldn’t think twice about binding and blindfolding them and throwing them off the roof of a tall building – as they routinely do in the Muslim world?
It turns out there’s one area of agreement that is so powerful, deep-seated and all-consuming that the vast differences between the deranged left and the murderous jihadists melt away into Kumbaya harmony.
All of this and much more is completely exposed in November’s issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled ISRAEL VS. GLOBAL JIHAD: How Jew-hatred, radical Islam and Leftism are pushing us toward World War III. Beyond a deeply insightful dive into why leftists are surging toward radical Islam – which hates and dreams of raping and butchering them – this Whistleblower issue includes fantastic articles by everyone from top Israeli analyst (and former Israel Defense Forces officer) Caroline Glick to Harvest Christian Fellowship’s Pastor Greg Laurie on the current war in Israel and biblical prophecies regarding the End Times … which he says are now upon us.
WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
