Harvard University will host a radical Hamas-loving professor who defended the terrorist group’s October 7 massacre in Israel.
“The Palestinian people have the right to defend themselves, the right to live with dignity and freedom. I am shocked that the world is shocked!,” Dalal Saeb Iriqat, a professor at the Arab American University in Ramallah, said in an X post on the day of the slaughter.
“Today is just a common human struggle 4 #Freedom.”
“We will never forgive Israel’s extreme right-wing government for making us take their children and their parents hostage,” he added a day later of his friend’s aggression — which included the mass rape and beheading of children.
“The Israeli public needs to realize that their own government has caused all this bloodshed and they remain responsible for this escalation. [sic] and loss of civilian life.”
Iriqat is scheduled to speak as part of the “Middle East Dialogue” at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center on March 7 — where he is presented as an expert in “diplomacy and conflict resolution.”

The militant academic visit comes at an awkward time for Harvard after former president Claudine Gay was forced to resign after refusing to publicly say that calling for the genocide of Jews would be against the school’s code of conduct. He’s also a confirmed plagiarist – something Harvard tried to cover up for months.
Harvard’s campus has been rocked by instances of antisemitism — so much so that a new antisemitism task force has been created to study the issue.

The panel, too, became mired in controversy after past statements from its chair, Jewish history professor Derek Penslar, became public.
“Israel’s dispossession of the Palestinians from their land and oppression of those who remain has made it one of the most disliked countries on the planet,” Penslar wrote in his book “Zionism: An Emotional State,” adding elsewhere that ” Jewish culture was absorbed. fantasy (and sometimes, action) of revenge against Christians.”
A poll after the massacre found that 57% of American Muslims believe the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack in Israel was “justified”.
Another recent poll found a majority of Americans aged 18-24 believe Israel should be “stopped and given to Hamas.”
A Harvard representative did not respond to a request for comment from The Post.
