Harvard Invites ‘Palestinian Prof Who Blamed Israel for Oct. 7’ to Speak at Seminar
“We will never forgive the Israeli right wing extreme government for making us take their children and elderly as hostages”
A conservative person sets foot on a college campus and there are riot-level protests, but this is fine. No one will say a thing. Also, Harvard has learned nothing.

Harvard to host Palestinian prof who blamed Israel for Oct. 7, called attacks ‘normal human struggle’
Harvard University has invited a controversial Palestinian professor to speak who justified the October 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel as a “normal human struggle for freedom.”
Dr. Dalal Saeb Iriqat, a columnist and associated professor at Arab American University Palestine, is scheduled to speak at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs on March 7 for a seminar series called “Middle East Dialogues.”
The Belfer Center website describes the “Middle East Dialogues” seminars as “a series of frank, open, and probing encounters with vital and varied perspectives on the current conflict, its causes, and the prospects for peace and progress in the region.” The series was established by Dr. Tarek Masoud, the Ford Foundation Professor of Democracy and Governance at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. Masoud said in a statement that he chose the featured speakers, who would be interviewed with “tough questions in a civil manner.”
Iriqat is a controversial figure who has made statements downplaying the Hamas attack on Israel and blaming the Israeli government for the bloodshed on October 7, when 1,200 people were killed after Hamas terrorists infiltrated the country.
“Today is just a normal struggle 4 #Freedom,” Iriqat posted on X on Oct. 7, as Israelis near the border with Gaza cowered in their homes while terrorists went door-to-door butchering people.
In the face of criticism for her post, Iriqat doubled down and blamed Israel for the attacks the next day.
“We will never forgive the Israeli right wing extreme government for making us take their children and elderly as hostages,” she posted on X.
“The Israeli public need to realize that their own government had caused all this bloodshed and they remain the ones responsible for this escalation and losses of civilian lives.”

Obviously, the anti Semitism at Harvard is very deeply rooted in nature
The Islamic definition of “freedom” isn’t quite the same as the Western one. The Islamic definitions of “innocent”, “rape”, “murder”, and “defensive war” aren’t either.
“We will never forgive the Israeli right wing extreme government for making us take their children and elderly as hostages,”
Will Harvard hold mail for her until March 7? I’d like to send her a commemorative wife-beater shirt inscribed with “Look what you made me do!”
