More than 1,200 Jewish alumni of Harvard University have signed a letter to the university’s president and dean declaring that they will no longer walk delicately around the college administration when it comes to the issue of antisemitism on campus.
The timing of its letter to Gay and Kumar coincided with the release of a video showing a mob of Harvard students, some of them clad in Palestinian keffiyeh scarves, jostling and harassing a Jewish student as he walked across the campus. Among the mob was Ibrahim Bharmal, the editor of the prestigious Harvard Law Review — a publication whose past editors include former US President Barack Obama.
