Harvard yearbook ignores Oct. 7 massacre — but includes pic of John Harvard statue in Palestinian keffiyeh: ‘Whitewashing terrorism’ By Doree Lewak Published June 2, 2025,Harvard needs a history lesson, according to students outraged over its 2025 yearbook ignoring the October 7, 2023 Hamas terror attack on Israel. The book instead depicts only Israel’s aggression in Gaza, with its October 2023 entry including a photo of the famous John Harvard statue draped in a keffiyeh with a caption reading “War breaks out in Gaza.” The official Harvard yearbook, the 520–page book aimed to capture the “Harvard experience” and described as “Harvard. Immortalized,” shocked graduating seniors when they flipped through the pages recapping every month since their freshman year. He added he was “shocked” by the complete whitewashing of the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust that left 1,200 murdered, thousands injured and saw 251 abducted into Gaza and held hostage – 58 of whom have yet to be returned. “They totally mischaracterized in a very irresponsible way the beginnings of everything on October 7, the actual thing that prompted the war on Gaza.” The treasured yearbook that’s meant to “reflect on your time in college” turned into a “completely biased representation of the events of October 2023,” blasted the Jewish grad, adding there is no excuse for yearbook editors – a group of 20 students listed on the site – to gloss over the atrocities that precipitated the war. “They know exactly how the events of October 7 transpired … It’s such an easy thing to get right – and the fact that they didn’t is really concerning,” the 23-year-old Chicago native said. Although school is out for summer at the embattled Ivy League institution, it’s still under fire for being a hotbed of hate.
