The incident, \u2063caught on video, shows the student being shoved and accosted by protesters, who obstruct his \u200bview and \u200bcover their faces \u2063with keffiyehs.<\/p>\n<p>In the video, the student can be heard pleading with the \u200bprotesters, saying &#8220;don&#8217;t grab me&#8221; \u2062and &#8220;don&#8217;t touch my neck.&#8221; Despite his attempts to explain that he lives in the area, the\u2064 crowd continues to harass him, shouting &#8220;SHAME!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The student, who wishes\u200d to remain anonymous, described \u2063the ordeal of\u2063 being pushed and shoved as \u200dhe tried to film the protesters with his phone. He identified two of his attackers as fellow Harvard University graduate students, Ibrahim Bharmal and Elom Tettey Tamaklo.<\/p>\n<p>A report\u2064 has been filed with the Harvard University Police Department and the FBI&#8217;s Boston office. The report states \u2064that the student was\u2064 assaulted both physically and verbally and that two of \u2064the assailants are employees of the university who have not yet \u2063been dismissed from \u2062their positions.<\/p>\n<p>Harvard&#8217;s\u2062 response to the incident remains \u2063uncertain, as\u200b neither the executive director of the MBA program \u2064nor the university president have commented on\u200c the matter.\u200d This incident is the \u200clatest in a series \u200dof conflicts on campus\u2063 following Hamas&#8217;s terrorist attacks on Israel and the\u200d growing hostility towards Jews.<\/p>\n<h3>Concerns over Harvard&#8217;s Response<\/h3>\n<p>Jewish students and administrators \u200care\u2062 expressing their concerns about \u200dthe university&#8217;s lack of action against expressions of hostility towards Israel and the Jewish people. Rabbi Hirschey Zachai, the founder and president of Harvard&#8217;s Chabad, criticized Harvard&#8217;s response, stating that the university penalizes students for off-campus affiliations but does nothing about those who support acts\u2063 of violence against Jews.<\/p>\n<p>The victim of the assault identified two of his attackers as Ibrahim Bharmal, a\u2062 member of the Harvard Law Review and a Stanford University graduate, and Elom Tettey Tamaklo, a divinity school student who \u2064lives alongside first-year students. \u200cBharmal has previously been recognized for his service at Stanford, particularly his involvement \u2062with the American Middle Eastern Network \u2063for Dialogue and Markaz, the Muslim Student Resource Center.<\/p>\n<p>The incident has sparked further debate about Harvard&#8217;s stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its treatment of Jewish students. The university&#8217;s equivocal statements \u2063and failure to denounce \u200dstudent groups blaming Israel for Hamas&#8217;s actions have drawn criticism from former college administrators and donors.<\/p>\n<p>As the investigation continues, the Israeli student&#8217;s assault serves as a \u2062reminder of the\u200b ongoing tensions and\u200d divisions on the Harvard University campus.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u200c How is the Department responding to the assault incident\u2062 at Harvard Business School?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200bDepartment, and an investigation\u2063 into\u200b the assault is currently underway. The student expressed his disappointment with the lack of\u200c intervention from law enforcement during the incident, stating that it felt like his safety was\u200c not a priority.<\/p>\n<p>This incident raises concerns about the freedom of\u2062 expression and the right to dissent \u200con university campuses. \u200bWhile protests \u200dare\u200b a legitimate form of expressing one&#8217;s opinion \u2063and raising awareness, violence and intimidation \u200bshould never be\u2064 tolerated. The student merely wanted to document the protest, yet he was \u2064met with \u200dphysical aggression and hostility.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the use of keffiyehs to obscure the identity of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/israeli-harvard-business-school-student-accosted-and-harassed-amid-gaza-die-in-on-campus\/\" title=\"Israeli Harvard Business School student harassed during Gaza protest on campus.\">protesters raises additional questions<\/a>. Is it acceptable to hide one&#8217;s face and engage in\u200b violent behavior at a peaceful protest? The student&#8217;s plea to &#8220;not touch my neck&#8221; suggests that \u200dhe feared for his safety, and this is deeply troubling.<\/p>\n<p>It is essential\u2062 that\u2062 universities promote an environment of respect and tolerance, where all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/this-washington-high-school-is-instructing-teachers-to-avoid-saying-biologically-male\/\" title=\"This Washington High School Is Instructing Teachers To Avoid Saying \u2018Biologically Male\u2019\">students feel safe<\/a> to express their opinions and engage in civil \u200ddiscourse. Intimidation and physical violence \u2064serve only to silence voices, and this goes against the principles of \u2063academic freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the identification of the attackers, it is imperative that the university takes immediate action. If these allegations are found to be true, disciplinary measures must be taken\u200d to ensure the safety of the student and to send a clear message that violence will not be tolerated within the university community.<\/p>\n<p>This incident serves as a reminder that\u200b attacks of this nature can happen anywhere, even in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/woke-academic-gobbledygook-makes-you-rich-and-famous\/\" title=\"Woke Academic Gobbledygook Makes You Rich And Famous\">prestigious academic institutions<\/a>. It highlights\u200d the need for increased dialogue and understanding\u2062 among\u200c individuals with differing perspectives. It is important that \u200duniversities foster an environment\u200b where diverse \u2063opinions are welcomed and respected, even in heated\u200d political discussions.<\/p>\n<p>As the investigation unfolds, it is vital for the Harvard Business School and the greater university community to come together to denounce violence and support the student who was assaulted. By reaffirming their commitment to the safety and\u2062 well-being of all\u2063 students, Harvard can send \u200da powerful message that such incidents\u2064 will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the\u2063 assault of an Israeli student at \u2062Harvard Business School during a protest against Israel&#8217;s retaliatory actions raises serious concerns about the\u2063 freedom of expression and \u200cthe right to dissent on university campuses. It\u2062 serves as \u2064a stark reminder\u2062 that\u200b violence and intimidation have no place in academic institutions. It is\u200c crucial that universities take \u2062immediate action to investigate incidents like these and ensure the safety\u2063 and well-being of their students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Harvard Business School student from Israel was pushed and harassed during a protest against Israel&#8217;s response to Hamas.
