A contracted Harvard groundskeeper was caught on video tearing down posters of Israeli hostages placed on a bulletin board on campus. The worker, seen in a heated confrontation in the video, was later banned from returning to work at the University. The incident sparked condemnation from Harvard Chabad and university officials, who criticized the worker’s actions. The tearing down of the posters, sponsored by Harvard Chabad to raise awareness of Israeli hostages, was deemed against university policy. The incident has reignited concerns of antisemitism on campus, with calls for Harvard to enforce its policies equally to prevent such acts in the future.
