Advocacy continues: Ambassador Erdan screened the horror documentary last night (between Monday and Tuesday) at Harvard University. This is the first time the film has been screened at an academic institution in the US.
Before the screening of the film, Ambassador Erdan addressed the hundreds of participants and criticized the university administration for its silence in the face of the atrocities committed by Hamas on the residents of the south. "After the massacre perpetrated by Hamas and the silence of the Harvard leadership, it was clear that Harvard's moral bar is very low to non-existent."
According to him, "For an academic institution that claims to put the value of truth above all else, it is many times more embarrassing. From the jarring silence after the murderous attack, the silence in the face of the marches in support of terrorism on campus and attacks against Jewish students on campus. Harvard has become a dangerous place for Jews. Instead of being a habitat for future leaders, Harvard has become a breeding ground for terrorist supporters."
Erdan: "elite universities cultivate supporters of terrorism"
The ambassador went on to sharply criticize Harvard's silence. "Harvard's ignorance of the atrocities of Hamas has led to support for Hamas across the campus. The support for baby killers created more than hatred towards the State of Israel, it also created hatred for Jews, a tsunami of anti-Semitism washed over Harvard."
According to Erdan, unfortunately, this is not a phenomenon that distinguishes Harvard only - "we see it in all the leading institutions of higher education around the world. Elite universities cultivate supporters of terrorism, instead of future leaders of values, this is a worrying and frightening phenomenon."
The ambassador clarified: "This film will change the way you see the Middle East and our war in Gaza, and it is the responsibility of all of us to spread the truth and make sure that the atrocities you will witness tonight will never happen again. When you watch the movie and the atrocities that the Hamas terrorists happily committed, you will understand that this is a terrorist organization that sees us as insects to be destroyed and not as human beings and that to prevent another massacre like this in the future, the only way is to destroy Hamas."
