More than 300 faculty members at the University of California, Los Angeles, signed a letter demanding the institution denounce campus protests endorsing Hamas terrorists' attack against Israel if speakers at the demonstrations incite violence. The faculty explained that people may take different sides on the complex situation between Israel and the Palestinians, but that Hamas' massacre 'should be condemned irrespective of political views.
Such celebrations create an atmosphere of fear; one cannot imagine that UCLA will allow for celebrations of the killing of George Floyd, or for celebrations of the Armenian genocide, or the celebrations of the 9/11 attacks,' the letter reads. 'It is inconceivable why such celebrations are not denounced by the UCLA leadership, regardless of political views.
The faculty members' letter comes as pro-Palestinian student groups at various colleges and universities across the country have released statements and organized demonstrations supporting Hamas' attack against Israel, even as many of the universities themselves condemned the acts of terrorism. Jewish people on campuses have faced threats and harassment since the Oct. 7 attacks.
Columbia University on Friday suspended two student organizations — Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace — that have led protests advocating for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.
