I was relieved to be away from hostile protests where many of my classmates have cheered—in reference to Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre of Israelis—that such “resistance is justified.” At an Oct. 25 protest, Yale students publicly admonished an Oct. 12 op-ed I wrote for the Yale Daily News. In it, I noted that the student group Yalies4Palestine had blamed the victims for their plight, arguing that “the Israeli Zionist regime [is] responsible for the unfolding violence,” and called on the Yale community “to celebrate the resistance’s success.”

I was in Brooklyn when I learned that the Yale Daily News had done its own part to help the “resistance,” excising four sentences from my piece. They referred to Hamas’s atrocities. “Yes, they raped women. Yes, they kidnapped children. Yes, they beheaded men. Yes, they cheered the whole time.”

Appended to the article now is the following correction, made without my knowledge: “Editor’s note, correction, Oct. 25: This column has been edited to remove unsubstantiated claims that Hamas raped women and beheaded men.”

[Can’t have truth-telling at Yale, apparently. Only among Leftist intellectuals is this in doubt. Hamas took and published videos of their heinous acts, including at least one viral clip in which a Hamas terrorist attempted to behead a Thai worker on a kibbutz with a farming tool. They publicly bragged about raping Israeli women as a “humiliation” to Jews, captured terrorists admitted that was a deliberate tactic, and widespread rapes have been confirmed in autopsies after the fact. Yale has become a despicable parody of the antithesis of civilization and education. — Ed]
