Yale is investigating the incident, and the New Haven Police Department has stated that it does not appear to be a hate crime.

Harvard's Antisemitism Controversy Soars with Provocative Banner

Jewish students at Harvard University have organized an aerial campaign in response to what they perceive as rising antisemitism on campus. A plane with a banner reading "Harvard Hates Jews" and carrying a Palestinian flag has been circling the campus. The campaign aims to draw attention to the alleged support for Hamas terrorism and the lack of condemnation for calls for the genocide of Jews by Harvard faculty and students. The group behind the campaign plans to extend the flights to other Ivy League campuses. The university's president, Claudine Gay, has faced severe backlash and calls for her resignation following her testimony in Congress, where she stated that such calls do not violate the school's code of conduct.
