Brown University on Monday issued a statement celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day while remaining silent on the Hamas terror attacks against the Israeli people.
“Today, Brown University celebrates Indigenous Peoples’ Day,” the university tweeted. The post included a link to a page listing five “land acknowledgement commitments” the school “has made to establish a foundation for strengthening relationships with the Indigenous peoples of this region.”
As of press time, the university has not issued a public statement on Hamas’s attack on Israeli that the terrorist group launched on Saturday, killing more than 1,000 Israelis. Hamas terrorists massacred civilians in their homes and at a dance festival, taking hostages and subjecting victims to rape and torture. Hamas has threatened to broadcast live executions of hostages if Israel persists in bombarding Gaza.
The Brown chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine issued a statement on its Instagram story Monday, saying it’s “currently organizing a way for Brown students to show solidarity with Palestine.”
Other Ivy League universities have issued statements condemning Hamas’s violence. Harvard University called out the “terrorist atrocities perpetrated by Hamas.”
Some university leaders faced criticism for issuing statements that didn’t lay blame on Hamas for its crimes. The dean of Columbia Law School released a statement that didn’t reference Hamas or its massacre, simply lamenting the “violence that erupted in Israel and Gaza.”
Brown University did not return a request for comment before press time.
