A House Committee report, a DOJ lawsuit, and our own enrollment data all point to the same conclusion: antisemitism at Harvard is systemic, not episodic - and Harvard must address it itself. Joint statement from @HarvardJews, HBS JAA, and HLSA JAN:

The report draws on Hillel data, Crimson surveys, demographic records, and peer comparisons spanning nearly 60 years. It examines nine structural explanations across all nine schools. No single factor, or combination, accounts for the gap. #NeverIsNow #HigherEd

Announcement from Roni: After serving as VP Social Media/Media Relations & spokesperson for HJAA, I'm stepping away today. Proud to have built our digital presence from the ground up and given this organization a voice that couldn't be ignored

Grateful for this community that understood: when they said "it depends on the context," it actually depended on standing up for ourselves HJAA organized the biggest Jewish event at Harvard right at Sanders. HJAA conducted an education audit more than a year before Harvard’s own

The Jewish Community does not want to hear "Antisemitism has no place in America" when its been allowed to run rampant on the streets, on campus, at conferences, in the arts, literature and many professional organizations for the last 18 months.

We send our deepest condolences to the families of the two staff members from the Embassy of Israel in Washington, DC who were senselessly murdered near the Capital Jewish Museum. We condemn this despicable act of violence and call on leaders to stand against antisemitism!

And of course, the event at which this young couple was murdered was a panel discussion about the dire need and innovative ways to provide aid to Gaza, Syria, and other war torn locations. But you know, a Jew is a Jew to a Jew killer.

I’m in D.C. My family assumed I was at the AJC event. I still don’t know if police apprehended the shooter or if he’s on the loose. This is terrifying.
AJC CEO Ted Deutch released the following statement this evening: American Jewish Committee (AJC) can confirm that we hosted an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. this evening. We are devastated that an unspeakable act of violence took place outside the venue. At this moment, as we await more information from the police about exactly what transpired, our attention and our hearts are solely with those who were harmed and their families.

The Abraham Accords were not just political. They were psychological. In a region taught to fear the unfamiliar, the UAE chose to shake hands instead. We did not just change policy. We challenged inherited emotion. Peace is not a signature. It is a mindset. And we reset it. 🇦🇪
