Iran Press/ America: The Al-Aqsa Flood operation, launched on Saturday, was a retaliatory response to the Israeli's desecration of Islamic sanctities.
The Israeli regime responded to the operation by bombarding the residential areas and the regime ordered the cut of the water, food, and electricity supply to Gaza.
A coalition of 34 Harvard student organizations said they "hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence" following decades of occupation, adding that "the apartheid regime is the only one to blame."
The organizations signing the letter included Muslim and Palestinian support groups plus others named for a variety of backgrounds including the Harvard Jews for Liberation and the African American Resistance Organization.
Harvard is the most influential university in U.S. politics, having produced eight former presidents and four of the nine current Supreme Court Justices.
Harvard President Emeritus Lawrence Summers, the former U.S. Treasury Secretary under Democratic President Bill Clinton, and former university president, was one of several Harvard graduates to criticize the current Harvard leadership for failing to respond.
While universities traditionally have been a bastion of free speech and radical ideas, the student letter struck a chord within the political establishment.
Republican U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, a Harvard Law School graduate, criticizing the letter, wrote on X: "What the hell is wrong with Harvard?"
