UC Berkley's Comparative Literature department advertised a course that described Hamas as "a revolutionary resistance force combating settler-colonialism" for Spring 2025. It has since adjusted the module's description online; however, it is unclear whether the course content will remain the same.
The course, titled "Leninism and Anarchism: A Theoretical Approach to Literature and Film," states it will explore the genocide of the "indigenous Palestinians by the Israeli Occupying Forces."
The course seemingly praises the "anarchist" practices of Hamas and other groups, saying they help "envision a better tomorrow."
