News - Middle East: A coalition of 34 Harvard University student organizations has condemned Israel’s bombardment of the besieged Gaza Strip.

In a statement published on Monday, the students said they “hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.”
The statement said, “The apartheid regime is the only one to blame.”
The organizations signing the letter included Muslim and Palestinian support groups as well as others named for a variety of backgrounds including the Harvard Jews for Liberation and the African-American Resistance Organization.
Harvard has produced eight former presidents and four of the nine current Supreme Court justices.
Harvard University alumni, however, criticized the pro-Palestinian statement and urged the university to take action against the signatories.
Lawrence Summers, the former US Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton and former university president was one of several Harvard graduates to criticize the current Harvard leadership for failing to declare clear support for Israel.
