‘Harvard Hates Jews’ plane flying over Army-Navy football game

It’s back, and this time for a much-larger crowd.

A private plane hauling a giant Palestinian flag and the clear message “Harvard Hates Jews” was seen flying today over Gillette Stadium as tens of thousands of out-of-staters came to take in the Army-Navy football game there.

The plane and its hard message was seen earlier this week, on Thursday, flying over Harvard University’s campus flanking either side of the Charles River in Cambridge and Allston.

More than 50,000 tickets to the 124th edition of the Army-Navy football game, held today at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, were purchased by out-of-state fans, Gov. Maura Healey has announced, according to previous Herald reporting.

Those fans, many thousands of whom are military veterans, service academy graduates and their families, were finally accommodated in nearby hotels and motels that had until recently been co-opted by the state to house migrants taking advantage of the statewide right-to-shelter law, the Herald has reported.

The “Harvard Hates Jews” plane had reportedly been hired by Jewish students to circle the campus following Harvard President Claudine Gay’s testimony in Congress on Tuesday, during which she refused to answer whether calls for genocide against Jews would be considered a violation of the university’s code of conduct, leading to calls for her to resign.

Harvard’s administration has been under fire as the campus has become a hotbed of controversial speech many have called anti-Semitic following the Hamas terrorist organization’s attack on Israel on Oct. 7 and Israel’s subsequent war against Hamas.

This is a developing story.
