"If you could just let everybody know who was hurt by Shafik calling the cops on the encampments and occupiers that I'm just incredibly sorry," blubbered Armstrong to a student newspaper. Armstrong’s apology is directed at those affected by the actions of the school during a protest, highlighting her sensitivity to the feelings of pro-Hamas supporters instead of addressing the intimidation faced by Jewish students. Her statement shows a troubling alignment or empathy towards those who might promote violence and terror."
"The people ‘hurt’ in this situation were the Jewish students the school administration was happy to see stalked, harassed and intimidated - and the rest of the non-terror-loving student body whose academic life was disrupted." This quote emphasizes the perspective of those marginalized during the protest, calling attention to the university's focus on appeasing aggressors rather than protecting vulnerable communities, and unequivocally states the failure of the administration to stand with the oppressed groups.
