Bravo! More bad news for elite Harvard University!
"... At the mention of Harvard, the [Yeshiva University] crowd hissed — and Fetterman responded.
Rabbi Ari Berman, Y.U’s president, said the decision to invite Fetterman was “unanimous” for the university. ..."
“I have been profoundly disappointed,” he said, mentioning “Harvard’s inability to stand up for the Jewish community after Oct. 7.”
He then removed a red stole from his shoulders, from Harvard’s traditional graduation robes.
“I do not fundamentally believe that it’s right for me to wear this today,” he said to applause.
Since the Israel-Hamas war began nearly eight months ago, Fetterman has been one of the most outspoken supporters of Israel at the U.S. Capitol, wallpapering his office with the pictures of hostages held by Hamas and wearing dog tags to show his support for their release. The approach has earned him opponents on the left and, uncharacteristically, friends on the right.
“I’m just a senator with a big mouth that happens to be committed to Israel,” he said in his remarks at the ceremony, which drew enthusiastic applause. In addition to voicing support for Israel’s war effort, Fetterman said, “I actually grieve for all the innocent Palestinian women and children that Hamas is responsible for taking.”
