Several X users reacted to the video on the internet. One user wrote, “Hmmm… does “diversity” also include views that aren’t pro-terrorist? This really makes me question the morals of anyone coming out of Fordham or Baruch. Raises questions about their work ethic, too.”

With almost 10,000 people killed in the Israel-Gaza conflict, pressure is growing on Israel to relax restrictions on Gaza. The video with Larmond and Ward, who have a strong opinion on the matter, has sparked a debate over whether kinds of protest are appropriate at times of world unrest.
Amidst the current conflict between Israel and Hamas, antisemitic actions that impact Jewish communities globally have increased. Co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism Heidi Beirich is aware of the pattern of hate crimes that frequently occur amid Middle Eastern conflicts. Renowned extremism expert Brian Levin claims that the current violence is the biggest attack on the Jewish community since the Holocaust.
