Eylon Levy: 我认为哈佛需要犹太人，但犹太人不需要哈佛。现在，年轻的犹太人正在反击校园里的反犹太主义，他们不再是容易欺负的对象。对于允许支持哈马斯的抗议活动，必须有经济和法律上的后果。特朗普政府正在努力解决这些问题，而Shabbos Kestenbaum正在通过法律途径挑战哈佛，揭露其反犹太主义的根源。 Shabbos Kestenbaum: 作为一名犹太学生，我认为为了获得公平正义，我们不得不诉诸法律，因为我们对教育部、司法部和联邦调查局没有信心。我对哈佛大学提起诉讼，因为他们违反了《民权法案》第六条，该条款禁止基于种族、肤色和国籍的歧视。哈佛大学长期存在并庆祝一种普遍和系统性的反犹太主义文化。在10月7日之后，哈佛大学的34个学生团体发布紧急声明，指责犹太人应对哈马斯的袭击负责。我希望通过诉讼迫使哈佛大学执行其行为准则，并改变其反犹太主义文化。
