Harvard rescinds fellowship offer to leading rights activist

Summary by Ground News

Harvard University rescinded a fellowship that it had offered to a leading human rights activist over what he said Monday was his group’s criticism of Israel.

Over the years, the group has issued a number of reports saying that Israel appears to have committed war crimes against the Palestinians.
