A Jewish student group hired a plane to fly over the Harvard campus displaying the message “Harvard Hates Jews” on Thursday; the message also included a Palestinian flag.
According to Fox News, “Harvard with Hamas,” a student group organized to call out the recent wave of antisemitism on campus, claimed responsibility for the banner.

From Fox News:
The banner featured the words in black alongside a large Palestinian flag. According to a statement from the group, its aerial campaign “seeks to respond to the runaway antisemitism on the campus and the shocking support for Hamas terrorism and rape obscenely vocalized by Harvard faculty and students following the Oct. 7th massacre in Israel.”
In the statement, an anonymous student added, “The American college campuses have become toxic dumps filled with Jew hatred and anti-Israel violence.”
The banner comes in the wake of Harvard President Claudine Gay’s testimony in front of Congress on Tuesday in which she failed to condemn antisemitic behavior from students on campus.
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) shared Gay’s now-viral testimony on X earlier this week.
“At today’s hearing, Harvard’s President shamefully refused to say whether the calling for the mass violence and genocide of the Jewish people is considered harassment or bullying according to Harvard’s own code of conduct. Claudine Gay should resign immediately,” Stefanik said.
