The whole episode is a disgrace.
It only goes to show that Harvard, like most blue chip establishment universities, is not there to encourage independent thought.
At its crudest, the purpose of the major universities is to identify those intelligent enough to serve the ruling elites, and weed out those who show a little too much independence of spirit.
Thomas Pynchon witnessed this at Cornell. The experience of many others, including myself, at establishment univerities, confirms this.
I suspect Harvard's finest will get top marks for praising Sharvit-Baruch and gliding over her willingness to accept the use of chemical weapons on women and children.
Of course the even bigger disgrace is the original Israeli war crime, which the world's leaders and courts fail to acknowledge.
