TIME FOR SOME HONEST HINDSIGHT: Former Harvard University President Lawrence Summers is “sickened” by the failure of the elite school’s leadership to condemn both Hamas terrorism against Israeli civilians and the statement of 30 Harvard student groups that blames Israel for everything, reports the Washington Free Beacon’s Alana Goodman.
“The silence from Harvard’s leadership, so far, coupled with a vocal and widely reported student groups’ statement blaming Israel solely, has allowed Harvard to appear at best neutral towards acts of terror against the Jewish state of Israel,” tweeted Summers, who also served as Secretary of the Treasury under President Bill Clinton.
It’s encouraging, even if only a little, any time a prominent member of the liberal elite publicly expresses a glimmer of dissent from some aspect of the dominant leftist narrative on American campuses. That said, one wonders why Summers didn’t see this coming long ago when he was in a position to do something about it.
