Harvard's Arab Alumni Association has appealed for donations to help students' mental health after they were subjected to 'relentless bullying and intimidation' for blaming Israel for the Hamas terror attacks.

The Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee issued a letter on October 7, co-signed by 33 other Harvard student organizations, stating: 'We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.'

Thestudents leading the 33 organizations and the Solidarity Committee were named and faced calls to be blacklisted from future employment. They included the son of British businesswoman Jo Malone.



On Wednesday, the Harvard Arab Alumni Association wrote to members appealing for help in supporting the students.

'They may require legal counsel, healthcare, mental health support, financial aid or mentorship to navigate these turbulent and uncertain times.'

Supporters of Palestine gather at Harvard University on October 14. When the terror attacks were launched by Hamas on October 7, the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee issued a co-signed by 33 other Harvard student organizations, stating: 'We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence'

They have been subjected to relentless bullying and intimidation,' the association wrote, in a letter obtained by reporter John Hasson.

'This situation is rapidly deteriorating as some students find their names on watchlists, creating severe risks for their immigration status and future career prospects.

'Our ask and plea to you all is to extend your hand to these students and provide the vital assistance they need within your capacity and scope of influence.'

Neither Harvard nor the association have responded to DailyMail.com's request for comment.

A letter from more than 30 Harvard student groups was sent on the day of the attacks, which saw Hamas terrorists stage a dawn raid from Gaza on a music festival near the border and villages nearby. Women and children were murdered in their beds, and an estimated 200 people have been taken hostage.

Since the raid, 1,300 Israelis have been killed.

'Today's events did not occur in a vacuum,' the statement read.

'For the last two decades, millions of Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to live in an open-air prison. Israeli officials promise to 'open the gates of hell,' and the massacres in Gaza have already commenced.

'In the coming days, Palestinians will be forced to bear the full brunt of Israel's violence. The apartheid regime is the only one to blame,' it continues.

Claudine Gay, the president of Harvard, said days later the letter does not speak for the educational institution as a whole or its leadership. Her comments came after some criticized the Harvard administration for taking too long to denounce the student letter.

On Friday, she issued another apology.

Gay said the university rejects terrorism, hate and harassment based on people's beliefs while embracing free expression, even 'views that many of us find objectionable, even outrageous.'

She wrote: 'We do not punish or sanction people for expressing' objectionable or outrageous views.

'But that is a far cry from endorsing them. It's in the exercise of our freedom to speak that we reveal our characters and we reveal the character of our institution.'

Among those signing the letter was perfume tycoon Jo Malone's son, who helps lead a pro-Palestinian Harvard group behind the letter.

Josh Willcox, 22, is listed as one of three students who run the Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee, according to Harvard's directory of student groups.

His mother, Jo, a British perfume giant founder who sold her eponymous company to Estee Lauder in 1999, refused to address her son, simply saying the war in the Middle East had left her 'heartbroken' as she branded the attack by Hamas as 'abhorrent.'

Can help me tell those moslem jihadists studying at harvard not to worry? I got lobang in F&B even in America.

I can hook these harvard grads up with some kebab shopowners or taxi companies. Got good jobs in driving taxis or selling kebabs for pro nazi, anti-jews kind of people.

These people are snowflakes and grifters.

I remember when Trump won in 2016, many of these Ivy League snowflakes had to go for counselling sessions. Have therapy sessions with crayons. LOL.
