Two Harvard Law students resigned from their student government positions after a resolution to divest from Israel was approved through an unconventional secret ballot vote, hiding the record of who supported the extreme measure.

The resolution, which calls on the Harvard Management Company to divest from Israel over the “genocide of Palestinians” and the “ongoing illegal occupation of Palestine,” violated the student government’s constitution, according to the two students, Cameron Adkins and Regina De Nigris, who resigned from the government shortly after it passed.

“We voiced our disagreement to the Student Government at every opportunity,” they wrote in their resignation letter. “Our concerns, however, were pushed aside. In light of this disagreement, we believe that our continued membership in the Harvard Law School Student Government would compromise our principles and values.”

The resolution passed with 12 in favor, 3 opposed, and 3 abstaining. The only two known votes are from De Nigris and Adkins, who were two of the three votes against the resolution. 

Student government members Robert Kim, Marissa Thomas, Tony Maquiling, Pat Healy, Aliye Korucu, Mackenzie Saunders, Tori Borlase, Connor Morgan, Felicia Caten-Raines, Dee Um, Hannah Chi, Katelyn Turner, Amanda Harrison, Kayla Hollingsworth, Vincent Okonkwo, Ojadamola Takuro, and Deyaa Alrwishdi did not respond to inquiries on their votes.

Following the announcement of its passage, anti-Israel student groups held a last-minute victory celebration with cake and speeches in the student lounge on campus, a violation of Harvard policy.

Harvard Hires 24/7 Security To Protect Anti-Israel ‘Apartheid Wall’ Featuring Quote From Famous Terrorist

Harvard University’s 2024 anti-Israel “apartheid wall” featuring a quote from a terrorist.

Harvard University is employing around-the-clock security to protect an anti-Israel “apartheid wall” created by students that features a quote from the leader of a U.S.-designated terrorist organization. 

The wall includes various anti-Israel art and a quote from Ghassan Kanafani, the former spokesperson for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a communist Palestinian terrorist organization known for hijacking aircraft and mass murder. Kanafani was assassinated in Beirut in June of 1972 by the Mossad after being linked to the massacre of 26 people—including American tourists—at Ben Gurion airport two months earlier, according to Jewish News Syndicate.

Shabbos Kestenbaum, a graduate student who is suing Harvard over claims of enabling anti-Semitism, said the quote is part of a bigger trend of anti-Jewish hate on the campus.

“It is hardly surprising that the same group of students who interrupt classes to yell about globalizing the intifada, publish and promote anti-Semitic cartoons, and intimidate Jewish students on campus would also be comfortable quoting and glorifying Palestinian terrorism,” he said. 

Harvard University did not respond to a request for comment.
