Report: Harvard’s Academic Programs Advanced Anti-Israel Advocacy Through Politicized NGOs
“consistently align with and promote NGOs that systematically demonize Israel, often using unverified and ideologically driven sources”
This is just a reminder that Harvard deserves all of the scrutiny it is currently getting.

Harvard’s Academic Programs Serve as Platforms for Anti-Israel Advocacy, Report Finds
Harvard University’s collaboration with politicized human rights NGOs has undermined academic neutrality and contributed to antisemitism, according to an investigation by NGO Monitor.
In the aftermath of the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre and Israel’s military response, NGO Monitor launched a research project focused on Harvard’s ties to advocacy NGOs. The resulting report, published in May 2025, details how key centers within the university—the FXB Center for Health & Human Rights, the Harvard Law School’s Human Rights Program and International Human Rights Clinic, and the Carr-Ryan Center for Human Rights Policy—consistently align with and promote NGOs that systematically demonize Israel, often using unverified and ideologically driven sources.
NGO Activism Disguised as Academic Research
The report directly challenges the portrayal of NGOs such as Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, B’Tselem, BADIL, and Al-Haq as credible sources of human rights analysis. These organizations are not independent fact-finders. Instead, they selectively compile accusations against Israel, often repeating unverified testimonies, while ignoring context, such as Hamas terrorism or the targeting of civilians.
Al-Haq and Addameer, both prominently cited and featured by Harvard-affiliated speakers and events, are explicitly designated by Israel as part of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) network, which has itself been designated as a terror group by the U.S. and E.U. Al-Shabaka, which includes several Harvard-affiliated fellows, promotes open calls for dismantling the State of Israel and justifies violence as resistance.
FXB Center
The FXB Center for Health & Human Rights hosted a program with Birzeit University in Ramallah, whose student council is dominated by Hamas affiliates and which praised the October 7 attacks. The “Palestine Social Medicine Course,” part of that partnership, was described as focusing on settler colonialism and structural violence, not medicine or empirical public health. It was suspended in March 2025 after public pressure and internal review.

Comments
Harvard is full of that garbage. Someone needs to put Harvard on a diet so its tumors can die off, or maybe cancer will succeed in eating the whole institution in which case it should be shut down or at least (what the government can do) have its tax exemption removed.
There are a lot of taxes not being paid by a very wealthy corporation right now that should be fixed.
As a private institution Harvard can be just as racist and antisemitic as they please, providing that they do so with their own money. However, they prefer to use our money, and this must be drawn to a screeching halt. They have made very unwise political alliances, and having sown the wing, now shall reap the whirlwind.
