The attack on Israel by Hamas, by primarily targeting civilian Israeli populations, represents an unprecedented and intolerable escalation that we condemn. As news reaches us from the region I hope that we can be united in mourning the civilian toll this war will take, wherever our political sympathies lie. It is not a college administration’s foremost charge to resolve international conflict, but rather to… Read More »
