A billboard truck drove near Harvard’s campus Wednesday displaying the names and photos of Harvard students whose organizations signed a statement blaming solely Israel for the deadly attacks by Hamas.

The “doxxing truck” appeared days after the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups, a coalition of Harvard student groups, earlier this week released a statement that held “the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” following the attacks by Hamas that have killed more than 1,200 Israelis and more than 25 American citizens. More than 1,400 in Gaza have also been killed since Israel started strikes on Gaza following the deadly Hamas attack.

Some students and their groups have since distanced themselves or withdrawn their endorsements from the statement amid an intense backlash inside and outside of Harvard. Several said they did not read the statement before they signed it.

    Beginning to think Israel and right-wing extremists have more in common than they realize.

    The more behavior I see like this, combined with historical context, the more I begin to realize that Israel isn’t the good guy in all this.

      Yup. Same thinking here; unfortunately, Hamas goes and murders children and women, hell, they murdered a score of people who were Palestinian rights activists. It’s a shit sandwich of Israel abusing the west bank, and Hamas replying with war crimes. And I have the sad feeling that until secular leadership on both sides is in control the violence will NEVER stop. It’ll just be different clowns in the circus.
