TL;DR Summary

A student group at Tufts University, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), has faced criticism for applauding the "creativity" of Hamas in carrying out atrocities, including the murder of babies. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Tufts spokesperson condemned the group's comments, emphasizing that no student group speaks for the university. A similar controversy has unfolded at Harvard University, where a student group blamed Israel for the bloodshed, leading to criticism from former Harvard President Larry Summers. Harvard's President Claudine Gay eventually condemned Hamas's terrorist actions and emphasized that no student group speaks for the university. The conflict between Israel and Hamas has resulted in numerous casualties and is expected to escalate.
