Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz ripped Harvard President Claudine Gay Wednesday over the school’s handling of a letter from over two dozen student groups that blamed Israel for Hamas’ attacks that struck the country over the weekend.

Over 30 student groups at Harvard signed a letter blaming Israel in the wake of Saturday’s attack by the radical Islamic group Hamas. Gay issued a statement Tuesday condemning the attacks, which have killed over 1,000 people, including 22 Americans.

“Too little, too late. She has still refused to condemn the student groups. She doesn’t want them picketing her office. She doesn’t want the woke people to protest, she’s just been named president. She wants to take the safe way out,” Dershowitz told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow. “That is true of most university administrators today. They refuse to condemn the students. Just imagine if you were a club at Harvard called the Ku Klux Klan club and it advocated the lynching of African-Americans. Would President Gay remain silent about that? Would she refuse to condemn?”

“The same standards that apply to Ku Klux Klan lynching group or neo-Nazi group have to be applied to these groups,” Dershowitz continued.

Gay issued a statement Tuesday condemning the attack by Hamas that has killed over 1,000 people, including at least 22 Americans. At least five of the groups that signed the letter have rescinded their support, the Harvard Crimson reported.

“Let me also state, on this matter as on others, that while our students have the right to speak for themselves, no student group — not even 30 student groups — speaks for Harvard University or its leadership,” Gay said in the statement.

Multiple business leaders called for the release of the signatories to the letter with some expressing the desire to blacklist them from future employment, according to CNN.

“We got a law firm in New York to rescind an offer from the head of the NYU Bar Association who supported the rapes and the beheaders and the kidnappers at Harvard,” Dershowitz boasted during the appearance. “We’ve gotten lots and lots of the groups to withdraw their support for Hamas. You know why? Because a big hedge fund operator who graduated from Harvard said he wanted the name of every single student who supported these beheadings, and supported these abominations to be made public so that no Wall Street firm makes the mistake of hiring any of them.”

Winston and Strawn, LLP rescinded a job offer to Ryna Workman, president of the NYU Student Bar Association, after she posted a statement supporting Hamas.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
