Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
"Harvard released two reports Tuesday that describe widely divergent views of campus life over the past two years, with students on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict describing incidents of discrimination and alienation at the nations most prestigious university."
Palestinian Territories
"But the culprits differed: The antisemitism task force blamed the student bodys increasingly hostile views toward Israel, and an embrace of more strident and disruptive forms of activism, for the painful sense of social isolation many Jewish students described."
Israel
"But Arab and Muslim students and others who identify as pro-Palestinian at Harvard described a mirror opposite view of the issue in which claims of antisemitism are given special treatment by the administration while their own complaints are dismissed."
United States
"The two reports, which were commissioned by Harvard President Alan Garber, come at a pivotal time for the university, which is engaged in a fierce legal battle with the Trump administration over its handling of antisemitism on campus."
