[AAUP SOF ¶ 95 (emphasis added)]. The same day, during an interview in the Oval Office, the President himself said that Harvard is “hurting [itself]” by “fighting,” contrasting Harvard with Columbia, who he noted “has been . . . very, very bad . . . . But they’re working with us on finding a solution.” [Harvard SOF ¶ 95]. He declared that Harvard “wants to fight. They want to show how smart they are, and they’re getting their ass kicked.” [Id.]. His conclusion: “[E]very time [Harvard] fight[s], they lose another $250 million.” [Id.].

Israelis’ hostile orientation towards Palestinians was also expressed across the outcome measures: participants in our sample reported experiencing strong negative emotions towards Palestinians, exhibited relatively low willingness to negotiate, low support for concession making, high support for collective aggression, and strikingly high acceptance of civilian casualties. On average, participants indicated that they would be willing to kill 575 Palestinian civilians in order to save the life of one Israeli soldier wounded by a Palestinian militant. The median for this measure in our sample was 990 Palestinians, and the modal response was the maximum value allowed (i.e., 1000 Palestinians, selected by 49.9% of the sample).

They're just offended the party is implicated.
Property & party > Palestinian lives.
SantaCruzMag: They happily stand with Hamas and proudly boast about it. These 60 cowards with their faces covered standing with the terrorists that committed the atrocities on October 7th can gtfo of Santa Cruz and go cry to mommy and daddy in LA when they get expelled for trashing their school campus. October 10, 2024 at 8:45 AM SantaCruzMag: Student protestors shut our side of town down for weeks causing all kinds of strife for our community that is powerless regarding Gaza and/or a ceasefire. They blocked roads and entrances to campus, threw rocks at local PD, trashed buildings and impeded other students. AND we got Trump. 🤬 January 28, 2025 at 7:03 AM

Iran abstained. Israel voted against it. Why such an obvious error in the first paragraph still hasn't been corrected yet, @washingtonpost.com ?
UN voting results on draft resolution A/ES-11/L.10 "Advancing a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in Ukraine" on 2/24/2025 11:35:10AM with all countries votes listed. For context relative to my comment, Iran is listed an abstention whereas Israel is listed as against. Further details: https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/4076672?ln=en

"On one hand, the Biden team's efforts created the deal's framework, and the efforts amid repeated failures helped set the path toward Wednesday's success. On the other, Witkoff's efforts to do in one meeting what Biden officials failed to do in over a year poses serious questions about whether the outgoing administration did all it could to push Israel."

I don't think that's true. In the waning days of the DNC, they winnowed their ask to just having a Palestinian speaker.
Names were proffered with delegates agreeing to speeches that would be vetted & edited by the campaign.
Waleed Shahid 🪬 @_waleedshahid This is 100% false. Several names have been submitted and the delegates are well aware that every speech would be vetted and edited by the campaign and have agreed to that process. There are tens of thousands of Palestinian Americans. The DNC can find one person to speak. Quote Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias · Aug 21 I mean I’m sure they would have welcomed a Palestinian speaker who wanted to stand up, praise the Biden administration, univocally endorse Harris, and criticize Donald Trump — but I’m guessing that’s not what the activists were pushing for

Old newspaper clipping dated 9/6/91: San Francisco Chronicle Shamir Says Terrorism Was 'Acceptable' For Jews, Not Arabs Associated Press Jerusalem Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, recalling his days as a guerrilla commander, said yesterday that Jews were justified in using terrorism to win statehood but that Palestinians are not. "Personal terrorism is a way of fighting that is acceptable under certain conditions and by certain movements," said Shamir. The Jews, stateless and persecuted, had no choice, he said. But the Palestinians are "fighting for land that is not theirs. This is the land of the people of Israel." Shamir was interviewed by army radio on the 50th anniversary of the founding of Lehi, the underground group in which Shamir fought British rule in Palestine in the 1940s.
