An enraged mob near Harvard University targeted a “doxxing truck” that was exposing students who allegedly blamed Israel for a recent Hamas attack. The incident took place on Friday morning near the campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The President of Accuracy in Media, Adam Guillette, revealed that the angry crowd blocked the female driver of the digital billboard-bearing truck, shouting and banging on the windows. One person allegedly threatened the driver, saying, “Once you get out of that truck I’m going to kick your f–king ass!” The situation escalated when a brick was thrown at the vehicle, damaging the digital screen that displayed the names and faces of the students who signed a letter blaming Israel.
Accuracy in Media’s “doxxing truck” was first targeted on Thursday when someone spray-painted over the website HarvardHatesJews.com, which was advertised on the truck’s side. The spray-paint incident was followed by the brick-throwing incident the next day. It is still unclear whether the individuals responsible for vandalizing the truck were students at Harvard University. Representatives for Harvard have not yet responded to requests for comment.
Adam Guillette filed a police report with the Cambridge Police Department, and the truck driver, a young woman from Kentucky, was listed as the complainant. Guillette emphasized the irony of the situation, as the people who were against Israel had initially claimed that the truck would incite violence. However, it was the protesters themselves who resorted to violence. Guillette believes that Harvard has allowed antisemitism to fester on its campus.
Guillette stated that while he encountered many individuals who opposed Israel, he also found some pro-Israel supporters. However, these supporters were cautious and whispered words of encouragement due to fears of aggressive radical behavior from the opposition. Guillette also recounted a scary encounter with a man who followed him and the cameraman around for several hours, trying to grab their camera. The incidents at Harvard have attracted attention and criticism from notable alumni, such as former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman.
Harvard President Claudine Gay released a video expressing the university’s commitment to free expression but did not reveal the names of the students who signed the controversial letter. Gay condemned the actions of Hamas while acknowledging the right to express objectionable views without punishment or sanctions. Gay did not specifically mention the student organizations that co-signed the statement by the Palestine Solidarity Committee.
Accuracy in Media has been compiling a list of Harvard student organizations and their members who continue to support the letter’s claims. Some student groups have already renounced their affiliation with the letter, including Amnesty International at Harvard and Harvard College Act on a Dream. The list currently includes 34 student groups, though five of them have officially withdrawn their endorsements.
