You CAN be critical of the Israeli government and not support Hamas. I’m critical of both sides and especially the lack of diplomacy by both sides.

The Israeli government and Hamas are both bad and I feel for the civilians on both sides who are caught up in this conflict.

Joint Statement by Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups on the Situation in Palestine

We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.

Today’s events did not occur in a vacuum. For the last two decades, millions of Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to live in an open-air prison. Israeli officials promise to “open the gates of hell,” and the massacres in Gaza have already commenced. Palestinians in Gaza have no shelters for refuge and nowhere to escape. In the coming days, Palestinians will be forced to bear the full brunt of Israel’s violence.

The apartheid regime is the only one to blame. Israeli violence has structured every aspect of Palestinian existence for 75 years. From systematized land seizures to routine airstrikes, arbitrary detentions to military checkpoints, and enforced family separations to targeted killings, Palestinians have been forced to live in a state of death, both slow and sudden.

Today, the Palestinian ordeal enters into uncharted territory. The coming days will require a firm stand against colonial retaliation. We call on the Harvard community to take action to stop the ongoing annihilation of Palestinians.

This statement was co-authored by a coalition of Palestine solidarity groups at Harvard. For student safety, the names of all original signing organizations have been concealed at this time.

This is the statement ClownHall is lying about. Everyone should feel free to have an actual discussion about what they’ve said, I suspect many people would disagree with the rather myopic view that Israel is “entirely responsible for all unfolding violence” and “the only one to blame,” but to call this “Supporting Hamas’ Invasion of Israel” is a plain and simple lie.

I can’t get a handle on the publication, I have never heard of it before, just looking through some headlines it seems sketchy. Also, I couldn’t find a Masthead on the website, granted I didn’t look long, but should you have too?
