A billboard truck drove near Harvard’s campus Wednesday displaying the names and photos of Harvard students whose organizations signed a statement blaming solely Israel for the deadly attacks by Hamas.
The “doxxing truck” appeared days after the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups, a coalition of Harvard student groups, earlier this week released a statement that held “the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” following the attacks by Hamas that have killed more than 1,200 Israelis and more than 25 American citizens. More than 1,400 in Gaza have also been killed since Israel started strikes on Gaza following the deadly Hamas attack.
Some students and their groups have since distanced themselves or withdrawn their endorsements from the statement amid an intense backlash inside and outside of Harvard. Several said they did not read the statement before they signed it.
Seems a bit much. Who is funding this truck? This seems like stochastic terrorism. It’s the same kind of thing Trump does. Give a name and address of someone you don’t like and wait for some crazy out there who will do your dirty work.
Beginning to think Israel and right-wing extremists have more in common than they realize.
The more behavior I see like this, combined with historical context, the more I begin to realize that Israel isn’t the good guy in all this.
Yup. Same thinking here; unfortunately, Hamas goes and murders children and women, hell, they murdered a score of people who were Palestinian rights activists. It’s a shit sandwich of Israel abusing the west bank, and Hamas replying with war crimes. And I have the sad feeling that until secular leadership on both sides is in control the violence will NEVER stop. It’ll just be different clowns in the circus.

Ffs people are allowed to make some noise when they are upset about something. Trying to silence them immediately makes it about how to argue instead of the argument itself which makes it impossible to convince anyone to your pov.
On one hand, maybe don’t call the worst antisemitic attack since the Holocaust Jews’ fault. On the other, don’t go around fucking doxxing kids.
The whole world needs to turn the heat down a notch, like right the fuck now.
They blamed Israel, not Jews. There is a difference. They were right too.
Try saying that to a maniac who now sees it as a excuse to shoot up synagogues.
If someone can’t tell the difference between Isreal and jews, they shouldn’t have a gun in the first place.
don’t call the worst antisemitic attack since the Holocaust Jews’ fault.
Maybe don’t misrepresent their opinion. That’s not what they said.
As an American, I can admit that we are essentially “to blame” (put in caps so nobody focuses on that, just using the rhetoric of this thread for the comparison) for 9/11.
If it were me, I wouldn’t say we were “to blame” for 9/11 (though perhaps some folks knew something was going to happen and did nothing), but more like it was a direct consequence of our government’s actions. I would say this is in a similar vein.
Nah, that is a far too nuanced and rational opinion.
