A quick google told me Harvard's student body is around 25% Jewish [Apparently it is only 5.3%, I have my doubts because Jewish people are too successful in the face of adversity for their numbers to be that low] for anyone wondering. No idea what the campus atmosphere is like during all this but it can't be good.
Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer and his wife are resigning their posts on the executive board of Harvard's Kennedy School in protest of school President Claudine Gay's belated lukewarm response to the student letter blaming Israel for the massacre committed by Hamas terrorists on Saturday.
Ofer, the shipping and chemicals magnate whose net worth was valued by Forbes at $14 billion as of Thursday, said that he and his wife were quitting the board, according to the Hebrew-language news site TheMarker.
The Ofer family is one of the wealthiest in Israel. The late patriarch, Sammy Ofer, derived most of his wealth from his ownership stake in Israel Chemicals as well as ZIM, the cargo shipping service.
Idan and Batia Ofer jointly own a majority stake in Israel Corp. and Kenon Holdings, which was spun off from Israel Corp.
Quote from the student letter in case anyone thought it was milquetoast -
“We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” the letter states, adding: “The apartheid regime is the only one to blame. Israeli violence has structured every aspect of Palestinian existence for 75 years.”

Ah yes, the "they committed a heinous murder but it was the ESTABLISHMENT that MADE them do it!" position very commonly held by teenage rich liberal white kids
It's extra funny since all these kids are the children of millionaires and are absolutely part of the "establishment"

That means only 9% of Harvard students are non Jewish whites. How are white people over represented again?

Their student paper tells me it's only 5.3%, Google must have misinformed me unless those Atheist and Agnostic slices of the pie include Jewish people afraid to identify themselves possibly fearful of their apparently virulently antisemitic classmates.

It's funny how people blow past the reasonable position of "The Israeli government is evil in the way they treat Gaza, but Hamas going ham on civilians is also evil and will definitely backfire" and end up at "those hippies at the rave deserved it, glory to Hamas"

They could've wait just a few months and resume their usual activities of bitching about Israel but their Lizard brain couldn't help it.
