Since the Hamas terror attacks on October 7, Harvard has been caught in a bind. Thirty-three student groups issued a statement blaming Israel for the terror. How did we get here?
Editor's note: The following column was first published in City Journal. Harvard finds itself in an ideological bind. Following Hamas’s horrific terror attack against Israel, the Harvard College Palestine Solidarity Committee issued a statement, co-signed by 33 other student groups, blaming the Jewish state for the murder, rape, and mutilation of its own citizens by Hamas. 'Today’s events did not occur in a vacuum,' the statement read.
The solution, Montalvo said, was to engage in a 'decolonizing process' that embeds critical theory, ethno-political struggle, and left-wing pedagogy throughout the university. After this process is completed, Montalvo speculated, 'Harvard and the settler university cease to be recognizable as Harvard as such.' The goal could be, ontologically and epistemologically speaking, 'to abolish the university' altogether. Israel, too, figures into this dialectic.
For the radical academics, the process is less brutal but barbaric all the same: it means destroying our best institutions, obliterating academic standards, and elevating witchcraft, voodoo, and pseudo-science into positions of prestige.
