College students bravely stick up for Hamas! Not only is this NYU student a true patriot* but 21 separate student organizations at Harvard have also supported Hamas's right to kill, torture innocent men, women, and of course infants**.
Please don't think I'll of these young adults simply because they're coddled, ignorant douchebags.
*Sadly the student's employer canned them! Honestly, the next thing you know people will start thinking ill of you for supporting earlier efforts of the Third Reich.
**Harvard is one of the most selective schools in the world. Ever wonder who in their Admissions Dept finds these idiots when our nation has thousands of better-qualified smart/decent young people?
NYU law student president says Israel ‘bears full responsibility’ for terror attack in newsletter — and it costs her cushy lawyer job offer

The president of New York University’s student bar association lost a cushy law job offer after sending an incendiary pro-Hamas message Tuesday — cheering the terror attack on civilians and fully blaming Israel for the bloodshed.
Ryna Workman also accused the Jewish state of “genocide” in the missive to the school — which caused so much outrage that a law firm planning to employ her rescinded its offer just hours later over the “inflammatory comments.”
“I want to express, first and foremost, my unwavering and absolute solidarity with Palestinians in their resistance against oppression towards liberation and self-determination,” wrote Workman, who identifies as nonbinary.
“Israel bears full responsibility for this tremendous loss of life. This regime of state-sanctioned violence created the conditions that made resistance necessary,” their post continued.
“I will not condemn Palestinian resistance,” they went on to write, instead condemning the “violence of … apartheid, military occupation, the United States military industrial complex and obfuscating genocide as a ‘complex issue,'” among other things.
Blowback to the post was swift on Manhattan’s Greenwich Village campus Tuesday afternoon.

“It just struck me as inappropriate, especially considering the death count and the fact that so many Israelis are being held captive,” said a freshman who declined to tell The Post his name.
“You’re free to have an opinion, but to voice it so publicly and so unequivocally without even acknowledging that a literal massacre took place seems, at the very least, insensitive,” he continued.
“There are a lot of students at NYU who I’m sure have family in Israel, and whatever you feel about Israeli injustices towards Palestinians, is now really the time to issue a ‘f–k you’ to people who are worried sick about their relatives?”
A sophomore who also wished to remain anonymous said it seemed like Workman was “using her [sic] elected leadership position as a soapbox to spew her opinions about things that have absolutely nothing to do with NYU law school.
“Her views certainly don’t represent those of the NYU student body — not mine, anyway. There’s no interpretation of the events that occurred Saturday morning outside of that terrorists carried out a planned attack on civilians and started a war. There’s no justification for it. It’s shameful, and embarrassing that I have to be associated with it.”
A few hours after Workman’s message was publicized, the law firm of Winston & Strawn released a statement that said it heard about their “inflammatory comments regarding Hamas’ recent terrorist attack” and “accordingly, the Firm has rescinded the law student’s offer of employment.”
The university released a statement saying the message did not reflect its views.
“Acts of terrorism are immoral. The indiscriminate killing of civilians and hostage-taking, including children and the elderly, is reprehensible. Blaming victims of terrorism for their own deaths is wrong,” spokesman John Beckman said.
Workman did not immediately respond to a request for comment or an interview. In a late afternoon X post, they wrote they would be “hosting an anti-Israel(Jewish) party in my pants later tonight.”
The NYU newsletter was just the latest instance of student leaders and organizations nationwide that have thrown their support behind Hamas terrorists’ weekend massacre, which killed more than 1,000 Israelis, according to the nation’s US embassy.
The group Students for Justice in Palestine is calling on all its chapters to join a “mass mobilization’’ on Thursday to mark the “historic win for Palestinian Resistance.’’
“It just struck me as inappropriate, especially considering the death count and the fact that so many Israelis are being held captive,” said a freshman who declined to tell The Post his name.
Thirty-one Harvard organizations blame Israel for Hamas attack: ‘Entirely responsible’
“We will be rallying and marching in support of the Palestinian liberation and against Zionist occupation in Palestine,” the group said.
The SPJ groups at Arizona State University, the University of Arizona, Butler University, the University of Louisville, Binghamton University and the University of Virginia were planning on participating in the event, with off-campus events planned at Michigan State University and University of Mary Washington, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
At Harvard University, more than 30 student groups said they held Israel “entirely responsible” for the attacks carried out by Hamas, which is recognized as a terror group by the US and other Western powers for its murders and kidnappings.
The groups claimed the attacks “did not happen in a vacuum,” that Palestinians were kept in “open-air prison for over two decades,” referring to the Israeli blockade in the disputed territory that became permanent after Hamas’ 2006 rise to power.
“We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” they wrote in a letter.
“The apartheid regime is the only one to blame,” the groups claim.

Former Harvard president Larry Summers, who served as Treasury secretary in the Clinton administration, said he had never been more “disillusioned and alienated” from the university.
“The silence from Harvard’s leadership, so far, coupled with a vocal and widely reported student groups’ statement blaming Israel solely, has allowed Harvard to appear at best neutral towards acts of terror against the Jewish state of Israel,” Summers wrote on X.
“Instead, Harvard is being defined by the morally unconscionable statement apparently coming from two dozen student groups blaming all the violence on Israel.”
President Claudine Gay later issued a statement condemning “the terrorist atrocities perpetrated by Hamas,” and added that the student groups do not speak for the university.
