Vice President Kamala Harris speaks during an event about gun safety on Friday, Sept. 22, 2023, in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington. Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday urged Arizona students to distinguish between Palestinian civilians caught in conflict and terrorist militants in Hamas after students pulled her into a campus fracas that is overlapping with President Biden’s visit to Israel.
“I know y’all saw the news, today Israel bombed the last Christian hospital in Gaza, killing over 500 doctors, children and refugees,” a student identified as Jonathan Otero said. “Why take away the life of the children in Gaza and at the border, which ultimately takes away the right of education?” “I am deeply, deeply affected — as I think we all are — by what we have seen in terms of the loss of life and the violence that has occurred, when first of all a terrorist organization, Hamas, struck Israel in the way that it did,” she said. “I think it is important to recognize, also, the distinction between a terrorist organization, Hamas, and the Palestinian people, and civilians and they should not be conflated.
“It’s an opportunity to push back against some of the unambiguously antisemitic voices that have been heard on some campuses in the United States, where some students and student organizations and faculty members have either been silent or justified or celebrated Hamas’s attack on Israel civilians,” said Jonathan Schachter, a senior fellow with Hudson Institute’s Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East.
Students for Justice in Palestine sent out a template for a “National Day of Resistance” on Oct. 12 featuring a paraglider, a reference to the terrorists who descended on Israeli concert-goers from the sky.
