A flurry of Harvard University students and groups are desperately trying to backtrack on their support of a letter blaming Israel for the mass slaughter of its own people by Hamas terrorists — as some business titans seek to blacklist them from future jobs.

All those Harvard students who thought they were heading into lucrative careers fucked their futures in order to signal their support for murderous Mohammedans.

And to think all they had to do to not have that happen is literally not support terrorism.

Well not even not support terrorism, not support terrorism right after a major attack and loss of life.

Yeah, it’s not a big hardship to just bite your tongue, at least until the bodies are cold.

Genuinely surprised at how...dense some people are over this.

Yes if you're out on the street chanting pro Palestine slogans while it's happening/right after people are going to judge you. Even if you believe pro Palestine doesn't equal pro Hamas the timing there matter. Because it sure as hell looks like you're supporting Hamas/their actions. The fact that I've seen so many people have trouble with this concept is baffling. It's like they lack the brain to work out why it's a bad idea while having a stunning lack of empathy for those that just died and their families. At best it's inappropriate timing that will weaken your cause.

They are in such a well protected bubble of people who all think the same and never have anyone challenge them. I remember one Palestinian writer saying that other muslims treat their issues like a soap opera. They get enjoyment cheering and booing goodies and badies and not from trying to solve the problems. In fact if the problem was solved peacefully away they would be disappointed because the narrative arc wasn't satisfied. Most western leftists are the same with numerous minority groups they patronise.
