Harvard Law Review Gives $65,000 Fellowship to Anti-Israel Student Charged With Assault
Harvard Law Review, which the federal Secretary of Education announced this week is the subject of a discrimination investigation, is awarding a $65,000 fellowship to the student who faced misdemeanor criminal charges for assaulting a Jewish student during an anti-Israel campus protest.
Law student Ibrahim Bharmal, who pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor assault and battery charge, was ordered by a Suffolk County judge this week to complete an anger-management class and 80 hours of community service as a pre-trial diversion. The charge related to what a prosecutor described as “a hands-on assault and battery…a gang gathered around…actual interpersonal violence” against a Jewish Harvard Business School student during an anti-Israel protest on the Harvard campus on October 18, 2023. Bharmal’s lawyer, Monica Shah, has downplayed the severity of the interaction, telling the judge this week, “It was not hands-on. It involved a scarf, and there’s no physical injuries.”
The event triggered a letter from prominent Harvard Business School alumni including Joanna Jacobson, Mitt Romney and Seth Klarman, that said, “The videos that have been made public, particularly the most recent violent assault of an Israeli student on the Harvard Business School campus, allow us all to see how Jewish and Israeli students are targets of threats and violence from groups of pro-Palestinian students.”
Harvard Law Review’s website describes the fellowship by saying it “supports recent Harvard Law School graduates with a demonstrated interest in serving the public interest through their work and scholarship. It enables fellows to spend a year working in a public interest-related role at a government agency or nonprofit organization. Each fellow will receive a $65,000 stipend. At the end of the fellowship year, each fellow is expected to publish a piece of legal scholarship that draws on the fellow’s work during their fellowship year in the Law Review’s online Forum.”
The “public interest-related role” for Bharmal is to be at the Los Angeles office of the California Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

But of course they did. Defiant bastards each and everyone,
Terminate their money and their tax exempt status, Boycott their trustees. Refuse the hire their graduates. Stop F’g around and do it already.
the muslim invasion of the western Judeo-Christian world Is succeeding/has succeeded beyond its wildest dreams
so when his bros do another 9 11 on us
will we then be forced to make them potus
to show how appeasing we are to them!!???
So a suspected Democrat judge spared those who assaulted the Jewish student from going to jail, nor did he even require an apology to the victim.
Now one of them is getting a $65,ooo handshake from the Harvard Law Review?
Is it any wonder folk think Harvard and the Left have a major anti-Semitism problem?
When you read that Harvard has $50+ billion in endowment, that does not count other non-profit organizations that are “independent” of Harvard.
You can see the Harvard Law Review Association’s latest tax return here: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/42104292/202421149349301112/full It has $39.9 million in total assets. The Law Review is run by a Board of Students, although the assets are controlled by a six-person Board of Trustees that include the Dean, professors and alumni.
Because such organizations are “independent” they are beyond the current battle between the federal government and Harvard. Although Harvard University currently pays a 1.6% excise tax on its endowment earnings, that tax does not impact the endowment earnings of the Harvard Law Review Association.
For unexplained reasons, the Law Review donated $757,423 to Harvard during that year.
