Israel’s President Isaac Herzog has slammed US universities for campus unrest over Israel’s bombardment in Gaza, saying these institutions were “contaminated by hatred and anti-Semitism”, AFP reports.
“We see prominent academic institutions, halls of history, culture, and education contaminated by hatred and anti-Semitism fuelled by arrogance and ignorance […] We watch in horror as the atrocities of October 7th against Israel are celebrated and justified,” Herzog said in a statement offering support to Jewish students across these universities.
