Harvard Prof Resigns From Groups He Advised Over Antisemitic Cartoon

A Harvard University professor resigned as faculty adviser to two groups that posted an antisemitic cartoon of a Jewish hand holding a noose hung around a black man and a Palestinian man, according to The Harvard Crimson.

Walter Johnson, a Harvard professor of African American studies and history, resigned as the adviser to Harvard Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine (FSJP) and the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee following widespread backlash to the image, according to the Crimson. Harvard Interim President Alan Garber and the university both put out statements condemning the antisemitic posts.
