Hold on, The event was clearly one-sided. If you’re going to discuss the healthcare impacts of war, you can’t ignore the Israeli side. Israelis have also suffered tremendously from rocket attacks and terrorism. Why should their stories be excluded? This wasn’t about silencing Palestinians; it was about ensuring balance and fairness.

the event was specifically about Gaza patients. It wasn’t meant to be a debate on the conflict itself. This is about healthcare and the human cost of war. By canceling it, Harvard is essentially saying that Palestinian suffering doesn’t matter unless it’s “balanced” with Israeli suffering. That’s not how medicine or human rights work.

If the event was framed as a humanitarian discussion, fine, but it was part of a medical school curriculum. Medical education should be objective and inclusive. Excluding Israeli perspectives creates a biased narrative, which is inappropriate for an academic setting. Harvard made the right call.
