I just spent a couple of hours at the Harvard encampment, talking with some of the organizers/protestors. Sorry to disappoint but none of them have horns, and no one I talked to supports Hamas. I saw students who care very deeply about what is happening, and mostly want the war…
Superb new CAFH column by @boazbaraktcs: "In an ideal world, Harvard would be a place for people of different beliefs to engage in dialogue and find solutions and common ground. Lately, though, we have become a place where people talk at each other..." thecrimson.com/column/council…

Disgraceful behavior. These people do not speak for any Jew but themselves. They do not help combat antisemitism on campus, they actively undermine it. You do not answer harassment and bigotry with harassment and bigotry.

Open AI presents The Instruction Hierarchy Training LLMs to Prioritize Privileged Instructions Today's LLMs are susceptible to prompt injections, jailbreaks, and other attacks that allow adversaries to overwrite a model's original instructions with their own malicious prompts.
Here's what happened, in @TheFP: "But last night, sitting in the hospital, I couldn’t help but think of my mother, Shahnaz, who grew up in Iran. Her neighbors threw rocks at her for being a Jew. She has a scar on her eyelid to this day." thefp.com/p/i-was-stabbe…
The maximalist position of either a Jewish or a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea” might sound good to activists in the west, but will only guarantee further misery for both sides, and especially Palestinians, for years to come.

To echo Boaz's point, it's crucial to prioritize empathy towards humans (independent of race, gender, religion, etc) rather than governments.

It is a shame that in the U.S. it seems you have to choose between 100% support for Israel’s actions in Gaza or opposing its very existence. If there was a demonstration against Israel’s government where Zionists are welcome, I might have joined it.

@boazbaraktcs Yes, I read it. That’s why I respect your balanced view here so much 🫡
We must amplify voices of reason like Boaz’s, even as we raise awareness of the shocking antisemitism in protests at other campuses.
I just spent a couple of hours at the Harvard encampment, talking with some of the organizers/protestors. Sorry to disappoint but none of them have horns, and no one I talked to supports Hamas. I saw students who care very deeply about what is happening, and mostly want the war…
@boazbaraktcs Thank you Boaz. You have shown that you are a very sympathetic and nice person from what you write.
With a heavy heart I announce that my 18-year-old younger sister, Lara Sayegh, was killed today on her way from Gaza City to the south. She and my mother were reaching Egypt for safety. My angel collapsed as she was walking on the “safe route” past the Israeli checkpoint, in an…
I’m @CC_Columbia ‘92 My heart bleeds for the the dangerous naïveté & grotesque bigotry of this protest movement, as reflected👇 & here: x.com/aghamilton29/s… & by the failure of so many of my @Columbia colleagues— in their understandable concern for defending academic+
The existence of people like that does not surprise me. But the fact that this is who the Columbia protestors chose as a spokesperson is disappointing. columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/2…
@boazbaraktcs Worth noting that this person has renounced the statements in this video, and made clear that they don't represent the protests. They still maintain that Zionism is an ideology that demands genocide of Palestinians, but they have backed up considerably: x.com/KhymaniJames/s…
הסתובבתי במאהל המחאה בהארוורד ושרדתי כדי לספר על זה. ארבע מחשבות:
Elizabeth Tsurkov is a PhD researcher at Princeton. She was kidnapped over a year ago by Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq. Yesterday, the flag of the sister organization of her kidnappers was raised at the Princeton protests.
I am literally a university professor at a top program globally in my field and I'd struggle with most of this. Why do so many neurotypicals struggle to realize and accept that there are multiple ways to learn and to succeed
"nothing in your hands" what neurotypical nonsense is this
Also great to see that the site continues to develop. These posters were designed by our excellent librarian, Mr Harris, and are in every classroom - and now on the corridors to reinforce our message and ethos.
@boazbaraktcs Excellent piece. Thx for writing it
Superb new CAFH column by @boazbaraktcs: "In an ideal world, Harvard would be a place for people of different beliefs to engage in dialogue and find solutions and common ground. Lately, though, we have become a place where people talk at each other..." thecrimson.com/column/council…
The first rule of activism: It's not enough that your actions are intended to help fix some problem. They must actually help fix it. And you can't take this for granted, because the easiest forms of activism mostly don't.
@boazbaraktcs @Harvard @AlonLeeGreen @sally_abed Sure, there's opposition to be found to any position in this conflict. But I do think there's an audience for both events and actions aimed at peace & understanding instead of either ethnonationalism, and hope to see more soon
@boazbaraktcs Much to appreciate in this level-headed column. But in my opinion, our posters stayed up longer than the average Cambridge lamppost ephemera! I've been on parental leave but anyone @Harvard hmu to get involved with putting up more and promoting these kinds of discussions
Nicely put!
My op-ed in the Crimson today on the Harvard protest and why we as a university are failing in both seeming more important than we are, and not being as important as we could be. thecrimson.com/column/council…
@boazbaraktcs @yoavgo @DevonIanDon One of the things that can degrade this is not enforcing the rules that do exist in a consistent way, Trump being one extreme example but people seeing many white collar criminals get off, or differential treatment of minorities or the poor. Universities should heed that.
@boazbaraktcs @yoavgo @DevonIanDon Nice piece, thanks for sharing. I particularly liked your point about university culture. It is much like how in a society, the particular laws are far less important than the rule of law and a sense of law in the citizenry; this has been a big problem in the US as a whole.
@boazbaraktcs @yoavgo @DevonIanDon To your point “Every day that the headlines focus on the antics of Harvard students is a day that they do not focus on Gaza” I mentioned to Yoav a couple days ago that some huge coverage of Columbia protests was several screens higher than actual war coverage on NYT, so backwards
@boazbaraktcs @yoavgo @DevonIanDon Thanks, will read. Very strange. Agree with you that they should distance and that it is helping neither thing.
