Former Harvard president Larry Summers criticized the statement, urging the university to distance itself from it. Harvard's leadership eventually condemned terrorism and distanced itself from the student groups. The transcript also explores the complexities of the situation, including moral questions about self-defense and the use of human shields by Hamas.
