NYU law student has job offer withdrawn after posting anti-Israel message
A New York University law student has had a job offer rescinded by a top law firm and was voted out as president of the school's Student Bar Association after stating that Israel is to blame for the Hamas attacks that have killed more than 1,000 Israelis. "Israel bears full responsibility for this tremendous loss of life, " wrote Ryna Workman in the Student Bar Association newsletter.
The message drew swift rebukes from members of New York University's community, as well as from Winston & Strawn, a law firm where Workman had previously been employed as an intern. Winston & Strawn said in a statement on Tuesday that it had learned of "certain inflammatory comments" regarding Hamas' attack on Israel that was distributed to the NYU Student Bar Association, although the firm didn't refer to Workman by name. "These comments profoundly conflict with Winston & Strawn's values as a firm," it said. "Accordingly, the firm has rescinded the law student's offer of employment."
At the same time, a backlash is brewing at Harvard University over a similar anti-Israel message, with 34 student groups at the Ivy League school signing a controversial statement that said Israel is "entirely responsible for all unfolding violence" related to the Hamas attack. In that case, billionaire hedge fund investor CEO Bill Ackman called for Harvard to release the names of the students who are members of the organizations that signed the statement, saying in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) that he wants to make sure never to "inadvertently hire any of their members."

著名经济学家、哈佛大学前校长拉里·萨默斯（Larry Summers）周一在X上表示，他对哈佛大学学生将暴力归咎于以色列的“不道德”声明以及该校领导层的回应感到“恶心”。
曾在前总统比尔·克林顿（Bill Clinton）手下担任财政部长的萨默斯写道：“在哈佛工作近50年的时间里，我从未像今天这样感到幻灭和疏远。”
在受到萨默斯等人的批评后，哈佛大学校长盖伊表示，“毫无疑问，我谴责哈马斯犯下的恐怖主义暴行。”盖伊说：“无论个人对该地区长期冲突的起源持何种观点，这种不人道的行为都是令人憎恶的。”
耶鲁大学管理学院领导研究主任杰弗里·索南菲尔德（Jeffrey Sonnenfeld）周三告诉CNN，犹太人“作为受害者被指责”已有许多个世纪。索南菲尔德在一封电子邮件中说，“恶人不能被当作英雄来歌颂。任何这样做的人都不能像懦夫一样躲在团体头衔的盾牌后面，就像纳粹冲锋队员不能被允许匿名一样。我们的社会建立在个人责任的基础上。”
反诽谤联盟针对以色列遭袭后“全球反犹太主义激增”的情况，于周三呼吁首席执行官们公开反对仇恨，并签署一份打击反犹太主义的承诺书。该联盟表示，签署者包括埃森哲（Accenture）、阿迪达斯（Adidas）和NBA。
“对于那些有犹太员工、犹太客户、犹太投资者、犹太股东，或者只是有一点点良知的公司来说，这应该很容易，”格林布拉特告诉CNN。
