A Harvard Business School professor who participated in a library protest in favor of student anti-Israel protesters is planning to teach a "case" in her class on Friday about divesting from Israeli and other companies because of "their possible complicity in the crisis in Gaza."
A copy of the 26-page "case" obtained by the Washington Free Beacon puts the decision in the context of responding to "the apartheid regime in South Africa." The Free Beacon is not printing the case in its entirety because Harvard Business copyrights the materials. The case makes gestures at even-handedness, noting that the movement to boycott, divest, and sanction Israel "faced criticism of antisemitism in its singling out of Israel, as opposed to the numerous other states engaged in human rights violations globally, for divestment." Yet on careful analysis, the case as drafted is slanted against Israel from the very first sentence, which describes the October 7, 2023, attack as one by "Palestinian armed groups" rather than by terrorists. The word "terrorists" doesn’t appear in the whole case, including in an extensive discussion of what the case calls a "separation barrier" or "wall"—actually a security fence that Israel built to prevent terrorist attacks.
