Just days after Hamas massacred 1,200 innocent Jews on October 7, 2023, two pro-Palestine students, Ibrahim Bharmal and Elom Tettey-Tomaklo, assaulted Jewish student Yoav Segev as he was walking to class.

Bharmal and Tettey-Tomaklo were arrested and charged with assault. But instead of expelling them, Harvard University decided to REWARD the two men for committing a hate crime against a Jew.

Harvard awarded Bharmal a 65,000-dollar fellowship, and Tettey-Tomaklo was appointed marshal of Harvard Divinity’s School’s graduation ceremonies.

At Harvard University, it apparently pays to assault Jews.

“The assailants have perversely benefited from their antisemitic violence and vitriol, getting praise from Harvard social media and Bharmal receiving a paid fellowship from the Harvard Law Review. Tettey-Tamaklo is also being given the honor of serving as marshal at graduation,” said Segev’s attorneys in the case.

Nothing new under the sun

Rabid anti-Jew sentiments and support of Jewish genocide is nothing new at Harvard University.

In the 1930s, Harvard President James Bryant Conant welcomed Nazi leaders onto the campus. Harvard’s newspaper, The Crimson Review, ran several pro-Nazi articles while vociferously condemning any anti-Nazi sentiments and even justified violence against Jews protesting Nazis.

The once-esteemed “Ivy League” university even welcomed Nazi students.

Today, the word “Nazi” has been replaced with Hamas and Palestine. Once again, Harvard is refusing to condemn violence against Jews, even on its own campus, as it rewards the perpetrators who unabashedly cry for the erasure of all Jews and all of Israel.
