UC Berkeley is offering a course describing Hamas as a "revolutionary resistance force fighting settler colonialism" and accusing Israel of genocide. Hamas’ massacre of 1,200 innocent lives on October 7th cannot be justified under any academic lens. Moreover, praising Hamas lets the terror group get away with its horrific abuse of Palestinians. Berkeley said the course description was changed, but simply rewording this antisemitism is nearly as hollow as Hamas replacing "Jew" with "Zionist" in its charter. Glorifying terror groups in higher education is an issue that has to be rooted out at its core, not merely an edited syllabus. Berkeley must not only remove this course but apologize to its Jewish community, which has faced relentless harassment for over a year.
