A billboard truck drove through the streets surrounding Harvard’s campus Wednesday, digitally displaying the names and faces of students allegedly affiliated with student groups that signed onto a controversial statement on Hamas’ attack on Israel.
Amid continued national backlash and doxxing attacks, at least eight of the original 34 co-signing Harvard student groups as of Wednesday afternoon withdrew their signatures from the statement — originally penned by the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee — that called Israel “entirely responsible” for the violence. In a later statement, the PSC wrote that it “staunchly opposes” violence against all civilians.
By Tuesday evening, at least four online sites had listed the personal information of students linked to clubs that had signed onto the statement, including full names, class years, past employment, social media profiles, photos, and hometowns.
As of Wednesday morning, at least two of those sites had been taken down for violating Google’s terms of service.
On Wednesday, in the face of student safety concerns, some of the statement’s harshest critics denounced acts of violence or intimidation against the members of the statement’s signatories. Harvard Executive Vice President Meredith L. Weenick ’90 also moved to criticize online intimidation and harassment in a Wednesday evening email to University affiliates following this article’s initial publication.
The responses followed the appearance of the billboard truck, which labeled the displayed Harvard students as “antisemites.” The display also referenced a website that listed multiple full names of students associated with organizations that had signed onto the PSC’s statement.
Weenick wrote in a University-wide email Wednesday evening that Harvard “takes seriously the safety and wellbeing of every member of our community” and “does not condone or ignore intimidation.”
“We do not condone or ignore threats or acts of harassment or violence,” Weenick wrote. “Officials within our Schools have been in contact with students to ensure they are aware of resources available to them if they are concerned about their physical safety or experience an immediate threat.”
Weenick added that the Harvard University Police Department had “stepped up” its presence on campus and was “coordinating closely with local, state, and federal authorities.”
In an email to undergraduates later on Wednesday, the College’s Dean of Students Office wrote that Harvard Yard would close its gates to non-ID holders from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. through Monday “out of an abundance of caution.”
“Currently HUPD reports that there is no credible threat to anyone in the campus community, but those with immediate safety concerns should contact HUPD,” the email reads.
The email also linked to information on adjusting online directory privacy settings and Harvard’s 24/7 mental health support hotline.
Harvard Hillel, the University’s Jewish center, released a statement Wednesday afternoon saying that it “strongly condemns any attempts to threaten and intimidate” members of co-signatory organizations.
“We will continue to reject the PSC’s statement in the strongest terms — and demand accountability for those who signed it,” the statement reads. “But under no circumstances should that accountability extend to public intimidation of individuals.”
“Such intimidation is counterproductive to the education that needs to take place on our campus at this difficult time,” it continues.
In a statement to The Crimson on Wednesday, the PSC called on University leadership to “immediately and unequivocally condemn the harassment and intimidation of its students.”
“The truck actively threatens students safety on campus at a time when credible death threats have already forced us to postpone a solidarity vigil acknowledging all civilian victims,” the statement reads.
“It is quite literally physical threat, a heinous intimidation technique, a warning sign meant to scare ideological allies into repudiating our mission — and for the Jewish members of associations linked to our own, an unjustifiable and insulting slap in the face,” it continues. “The doxxing truck is the ugliest culmination of a campaign to silence pro-Palestinian activism that the PSC has experienced for years.”
A Harvard spokesperson did not immediately provide comment on the doxxing or PSC’s criticism of the University’s response.
On Wednesday, a Harvard spokesperson wrote that the College has reached out directly to impacted students and student organizations to provide support and resources. In a Tuesday statement, College spokesperson Jonathan Palumbo confirmed that authorities had been alerted of doxxing on public websites.
In a post on X, former University President Lawrence H. Summers reaffirmed his disdain for the joint statement, but he called for the doxxing to stop.
“I yield to no one in my revulsion at the statement apparently made on behalf of 30 plus @Harvard student groups. But please everybody take a deep breath,” Summers wrote. “It is a time for absolute clarity that words or deeds that threaten the safety of others in our community will not be tolerated.”
Harvard Economics professor Jason Furman ’92 shared a similar statement on X, writing that he had been contacted by a student who had been doxxed despite no longer attending Harvard or affiliating with the co-signing group.
“I am reassured by the widespread condemnation of the statement by the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Group. But I am appalled by people threatening individual students. I’m even more appalled since many of them had nothing to do with the letter,” Furman wrote.

Iran blew the bag
U.S., Qatar agree to stop Iran from tapping $6 billion fund after Hamas attack

U.S. officials and the Qatari government have agreed to stop Iran from accessing a $6 billion account for humanitarian assistance in light of Hamas’s attack on Israel, Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo told House Democrats on Thursday, according to two people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private remarks.
The decision not to permit access to the money comes just a few weeks after the U.S. and Iranian governments announced a deal to set up the humanitarian assistance as part of a prisoner swap aimed at easing hostilities in the region. U.S. officials had to approve each transaction under the agreement. The fund is financed by Iranian oil sales.
[ Hamas received weapons and training from Iran, officials say ]
But President Biden has faced mounting bipartisan pressure on Capitol Hill to prevent the funds from being used by Iran, amid scrutiny of Tehran’s links to Hamas. U.S. officials say Hamas has received weapons and training from Iran, but there has been no evidence of Iran’s direct role in the slaughter, The Washington Post previously reported.
Adeyemo told House Democrats that the money “isn’t going anywhere anytime soon,” according to three House Democratic aides, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal conversations. That comment was first reported by Punchbowl.
Senators of both parties, including Senate Banking Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), have called on the Biden administration to renege on the agreement.
Asked about the push to freeze the aid, Iran’s mission to the United Nations responded in a statement: “The senators in question and the U.S. government are all acutely aware that they can NOT renege on the agreement. The money rightfully belongs to the people of Iran, earmarked for the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran to facilitate the acquisition of all essential and non-sanctioned requisites for the Iranians.”
Rescinding the aid would embolden hard-line voices in Iran that have rejected working with the West, said Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, a foreign policy think tank. Parsi also speculated that such a move could shift opinion within the regime in favor of building a nuclear bomb.
“If this step is taken, that status quo falls apart — and it will have a very detrimental effect on the internal discussions in Iran, within the regime,” Parsi said. “If there is no prospect of a deal with the U.S., it will likely tilt Iran toward building a bomb — and that would be an extremely dangerous situation.”
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has declared nuclear weapons forbidden by Islam and has vowed that Iran will never seek to build or acquire them.

Gets into the history of the monstrous phrase ‘mowing the grass’ and how it relates to Israel’s strategy against a captive enemy.
“Against an implacable, well-entrenched, nonstate enemy like the Hamas, Israel simply needs to ‘mow the grass’ once in a while to degrade enemy capabilities. A war of attrition against Hamas is probably Israel’s fate for the long term,” Efaim Inbar and Eitan Shamir, two Israeli experts, wrote in a 2014 article for the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies.
Horrific and dehumanizing slow rolling genocide.

No way to really know what this is from but trash are going to exist in every society
I'm sure Hezbollah and Hamas TV are having some really pleasant dialogues as usual right?
The fact that Israeli media is seemingly more objective and has more freedom to express dissent than any major Western news source is a huge indictment of Western media.
Just before we became him, it happened
Benjamin Netanyahu is the contractor of the destruction of the Israeli soul
Just before we became him it happened. Just before we became the man you pulled us out and wouldn't let go. Just before we became empty, cowardly, greedy, corrupt, egotistical, stingy, obsessive, paranoid, megalomaniacal, worthless. A moment before our heart was completely numb. A moment before we felt nothing. Just before we became nothing.
it happened. In large part it happened because we almost became him.
Benjamin Netanyahu will be remembered in Israel's history as the one who brought the country to the brink of destruction. But the physical destruction could only happen following the destruction of the mind. Benjamin Netanyahu is the contractor of the destruction of the Israeli psyche. He destroyed the Israeli soul so that it would conform to his own soul - the destroyed, emptied, which feels nothing.
Every place where he recognized mental content, he marked; Every person in whom he recognized mental content was marked; Each group in which he recognized mental content was marked.
And after the marking, came the destruction stage.
A and Miriam that he is a liar . But Benjamin Netanyahu never lied. Only those who have truth in them can lie. Netanyahu is a man without truth and without lies. empty man A man with nothing.
The power of a word lies in the fact that it is charged with something that has a connection between it and the actualization. The more complete and precise this relationship is, the more valuable the word. The battle over the baggage of the word is the battle over the baggage of consciousness, and the battle over the baggage of consciousness is the battle over the way we live. In the place where a word is emptied of its content and filled with another, inverted, partial, misleading content - in this place the word falls apart, and therefore consciousness falls apart, andsubsequently reality falls apart.
Benjamin Netanyahu - a broken man - broke reality for us.
••• To dismantle reality he built machines of destruction called " poison machines ": a small poison machine and a large poison machine. The small poison machine was built as Netanyahu's soul model. Its purpose was to demonstrate to the public how reality can be emptied of its content, sometimes turned on its head, by manipulation; How good can become bad, how bad can become good. Netanyahu is emptying the most basic values to prove that everything, but everything, is worthless. He thought: only if others recognize that everything is worthless, he will be able to live at peace with his own worthlessness. When all are emptied, his own emptiness will become thepattern of the landscape of his existence.
Yair Netanyahu should be thought of as someone who embodies in his body the soul of his father, and as someone whose personality outlines outline the blueprint of the little poison machine. Yair Netanyahu is what is inside Benjamin Netanyahu and outside Benjamin Netanyahu at the same time. It is also a source of panic that it evokes. The emotions that are directed towards him are so intense that every person who still holds a mental content, feels withevery fiber of his body that before him stands someone who threatens his very existence.
But the small poison machine - Yair Netanyahu and a few other empty people - was designed to activate the big poison machine. And it was composed of all those hundreds of thousands of Israelis who recognized in Netanyahu an ideal model of their own souls; All those hundreds of thousands of Israelis who looked at his manipulativeness, his corruption, his egotism, his avarice, his obsession, his paranoia, his megalomania, his sense of persecution - and recognized these parts in themselves.
These parts were not always dominant for them, they were not always given a place of honor in reality. For years they were oppressed by the feeling of shame, which originates from the higher self of the collective - especially the leadership. This is exactly what Netanyahu wanted to do: mark from above the age of shame. To signal that it is no longer necessary to hide and suppress the ugly elements of the soul. It is possible, it is finally possible, to release this energy and convert it into the realization of the instincts that have been suppressed until now - the violence, the incitement, the deception, the lie, the egoism.
This animal release was at the heart of the destruction project of the Netanyahu years. The empty man released collective toxins held within the Israeli tissues, and when these were released, the sewage simply overflowed: a storm of decay, a tsunami of emptiness, an earthquake of reversal of values was created in Israel. And these swept away whole communities with them. The toxins that were released penetrated the Israeli blood circulation. The blood circulation which is also our immune system. Netanyahu poisoned the Israeli immune system and it almost collapsed. The Israeli body began to die.
••• A moment before the soul was almost completely emptied, and a moment before the immune system almost completely failed, and a moment before the body almost completely died - those who wanted to kill what was left of us broke in, deep inside. They recognized mental death and sought to complete the work by murdering the body.
This pain, deep, crippling, that has no limit. The chasms of the soul that open up and the heart, the head, and the body collapse into the contents. The tears that become companions. The sadness that hardens into nerves, the nerves that soften into sadness - what is this, a whole world of a man, and the empty man who stands in front of a camera and talks to us?
••• The soul is tormented because it suddenly perceives that it has almost been annihilated.
But just before we became him it happened.
