Anti-Israel Harvard students conspire to smear law firms critical of campus antisemitism: report

Anti-Israel Harvard Law students organized a smear campaign against law firms that have stood up against campus antisemitism, according to a Washington Free Beacon investigation.


Anti-Israel Harvard students conspire to smear law firms critical of campus antisemitism: report

Two days later, over a dozen law firms that have been critical of antisemitism at Harvard and other college campuses, including some that rescinded job offers from Harvard law students over it, saw their Wikipedia pages amended. 

In 2023, Davis Polk rescinded a job offer it gave to a Harvard student over the student's leadership in organizing anti-Israel protests on campus. It was also among 100 law firms that sent a November 2023 letter to Harvard urging it to clamp down on campus antisemitism after Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attacks against innocent Israelis. 

Overall, 14 law firms saw changes such as these, according to the Free Beacon's investigation. When reached for comment, Harvard University spokesperson Jeff Neal said the Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon was organized by a student-run organization "and does not represent the views of Harvard Law School." 

Fox News Digital reached out to the National Lawyers Guild's Harvard chapter and its national organization but did not receive a response. 

Earlier this month, the Trump administration's Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism froze over $2.2 billion in federal funding for Harvard. The administration has indicated it could take away as much as $9 billion if Harvard does not meet its requirements on antisemitism and other federal directives from Trump.
